EXERCISING YOUR IMMUNE: AN INSPIRATION
Then one day, while running in a 10K race at UCLA, I saw a paraplegic man, lying face down on a small, lightweight gurney, pulling himself along the course with two canes. He’d put one cane down and pull the gurney forward a few inches. Then he’d put the other cane down, pulling his gurney foward a few more inches. I wondered how he was going to make it up the hill, so I slowed down and trotted right behind him. He went right up that big hill, slowly, a few inches at a time. Drenched with sweat, huffing and puffing, he proudly finished the race, smiling at the applause he received as he struggled across the finish line.
If he can find the time, energy and discipline to exercise, I vowed, so can I. Since then, the dog has never looked too tired to go walking with me.
Do you set aside time for exercise? Have you the energy and discipline?
