Heh. Thanks, but I've also been extremely lucky.

In junior high, I learned about jogging and learned I liked it. I kept jogging in high school, and through college, though I got much less dedicated. I've never completely lost my exercise push, and I've never really had any serious injuries. So, I knew that all of the things that I've been facing are fixable. That's *huge*. I was having some problems with frustration, and a bit of fear, back in June when I realized I had nearly no fitness left, but that's thankfully gone away, now that I've gotten back enough :-).

I've never been big into sports, but I've gained a lot of appreciation for how important it can be to teach a child (/teen) that being able to move feels *good*.
