    Congrats Lex on completing the marathon

    Margaret, Thanks for the info. I'll look it up. I'm finally able to workout how I've always wanted to. I used to do mostly weights because I couldn't breathe. Then when I got my TX, I mostly ran because the marathon was my goal. Today, I'm focused on an all-around workout. I train each of...

    Pulmonary Rehab Questions

    They wouldn't (nor would I) allow a group rehab for me. CF'ers have to be separated from the general population. I hope your rehab center knows this....and if not, I would recommend finding a center that is used to dealing with CF. My rehab therapist would bathe the treadmill and nustep with...

Very slow for a runner's standard, but we had a great time. I would like to do it again, someday....maybe in 10 years or...
