Wonderful!
Looking great and great advice!
Awesome I'm the walks!
That's great and agree 1000% on the "be in good shape" part of it. Really helps.
You have the right idea and attitude, I walked up to 10k when I was getting ready for surgery and the same when I could after. So much of the results and the recovery are dependent on your physical and mental conditioning. You look great, enjoy your new life 👍
