Seeking a pure heart

[rpearcemoses]

The short-term goal: get through a ten minutes treadmill cardio stress test in August.  Long-term goal: live an active life in retirement (which starts a week before the cardio stress test).

 

Although I've been somewhat active earlier in life (bicycling, gym), have been a chronic sufferer of deskjobitise for five years, sitting in front of a computer.  Waist is larger, arms are weaker, stamina is gone.

 

I found out about NF this week, and I'm diving in.  Call me impulsive.  I like the sense of accountability, and I'm hoping my colleague will join me for some in-person accountability.  I don't know how this works yet, but that never stopped me before.
