Re: Perfect night for a run

Motivation comes from numerous places.
My dad was never into fitness, etc until his heart attack at 55. 40+ year smoker. After the ha and 5 bypasses he stopped smoking cold turkey and began to exercise. He walked the treadmill and road a stationery bike every day. They took usable veins from both his legs for the bypasses so he experienced weak legs afterward. He said if he missed just one day of exercise it took him 3 to 4 days to catch back up to feeling like before. He bike rode the equivalent of 1 and 1/2 trips to the Cali coast over his remaining years. He also attributed his routine to extending his life almost 30 years. He outlived his surgeon who at the time said the bypasses would buy dad maybe 10 years.
