When I first started running I could hardly run for less than one minute before my legs began screaming at me and throbbing horribly. But with slow, steady and faithful running I am now doing a 13 minute mile. It's no record by any means but it a HUGE improvement. Of course my goal is a 6-8 minute mile so much more improvement needs to happen :) Realistically however, I need to get up to running at least 3 miles in a decent amount of time if I want to do a 5k race....then build from there.
Life post transplant has given me back the ability to do the things I couldn't do anymore with CF lungs. It's a pretty incredible feeling to run a mile again, to ride a horse again, and to be on stage again. I have so much love an appreciation for the gift of my 2nd life! I run for me and my donor.
