HI MAZERS, AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE AT 24-28 WEEKS I WAS SHORT OF BREATH WHEN WALKING UP STEPS OR TRYING TO JOG, BUT NO PROBLEM WALKING FAST ON FLAT AREAS. I JUST GOT BACK TO VIRGINIA FROM FLORIDA LAST WEEK. I WALK THE GOLF COURSE WHICH IS ABOUT 5 MILES. HERE IN VIRGINIA THE GOLF COURSE IS VERY HILLY WITH THE SEVENTH HOLE CALLED CARDIAC HILL. SINCE BEING HOME I HAVE WALKED THE COURSE 7 TIMES WHILE PULLING A CART ( 4 TIMES THIS WEEK). EACH DAY I FELT STRONGER AND NOW BELEIVE THAT MY HEART IS GETTING STRONGER. MAYBE I WILL BE ABLE TO JOG AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.BEST OF LUCK TO THE NEW MAZERS AND DONT BE DISCOURAGED IF IT TAKES AWHILE TO FEEL PERFECT. TOM
