      This is a line from a children's xmas special but I think applies here.... "put one foot in front of another and soon you will be walking across the floor". Dixie you are doing awesome.

    More running than yesterday, mixed in with walks...felt awesome. I'm hoping I didn't overdo it and I'm hoping this is the beginning of the end of whatever got hold of me and took me down.

    Tired of sitting still. Had to release some anxiety. Walk in nice shady park and even attempted a little run on the straigh and downhill sections. Felt good to be out again but not quite up to par.
