We take so much for granted...the ability to run, to get outside, to do all the activities we normally do in a day...our health. This bout of pneumonia for me has been a definite wake-up call to appreciate everything. I can only hope that I can recover from this and get back to where I was.
Meanwhile...I am suffering. Along with the coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, I seem to have injured some ribs. This is almost worse than the pneumonia. Certain movements cause excruciating pain, like someone is stabbing me in the side. It's not pleasant.
But today I got on the treadmill and did an Ifit workout. Not a hard one, of course, but walking along the beach in a beautiful setting with an inspiring trainer. I hope this is my road to recovery.
It's hard to believe that a month ago I had my sights on 31 miles...now I'm grateful for just one mile.
One mile at a time...attitude of gratitude...each step leads to another.
