Success!!


So this is a pretty big deal for me. First of all because lately I have been rather out of shape but also because even in the best shape I tend to have troubles. My friends and I went to Montreal yesterday, which was super fun by the way, and we spent a lot of the day walking. Walking up hill, down hill, on slight inclines and declines, on very straight paths, on cobblestone and up and down stairs. Safe to say, there was A LOT of walking...

But here is the success...only twice do I remember being out of breath and not once did I have to stop for what I tend to call a "heart moment" where I needed to take a break. The truly sensational thing about it, is that I had only had three or four hours of sleep the night before (but twelve the night before that). This is HUGE for me. I don't know if anyone without a heart or lung condition can understand this. I hate having to take time to stop and feeling like a burden to the entire group. But from what I can tell, I kept up all day. I was never really lagging behind either, it wasn't as though I was moving super slow.

I get a rep for complaining a lot. Especially about being tired and/or hungry. The thing is, when I am complaining it's because I truly am very tired or I am starting to feel light headed or something. I don't want to be a whiner so this is why I am so happy about this.

Although, I also know, this was just a good day because not every day is like this. Today, I may walk to the bus stop and be so out of breath my heart is pounding in my chest. I never really know. I wish I could.

Oh and, I may have managed to walk all day, but as soon as I got on that bus on the way home, I was out. Guess I was a lot more tired than I had thought!
