Me,DB and Treadmill

I just did an hour on treadmill listening to the great David Bowie--What an excellent CD to walk/dance too-I got so hyped up trying to do a little gig in that little belt space while it was moving, I caught my shoe on edge-I was listening to Lets Dance!! You'd move to that too right??-Coulda been a whoops there!!!-It was a little over an hour long--I could only go 1 mph(don't laugh)Gotta start somewhere...So I eneded up walking 1 mile--and burnt a little over 100 calories.. At first my chest felt tight and I was anticipationg being short of breath--but a lot of it was anxiety--I kept going and a bit later could breathe fine-This Cd is perfect for rhythmic breathing. It went well with my walking speed-This is the first serious exercise Ive done since I quit--other than my walk outside sunday so Im proud as can be--and Bless Mr. Bowie--He got me going....

Wicked MT. Loving your connection with Bowie. Watched Brit Awards acknowledge his passing yesterday, a lot more tasteful than The Grammy's. Proud of you for walking through your anxiety...Brave Soul, 'Let's Dance' Defo!!! X
