Need inspiration to stay active? Here you go

I sometimes need a additional inspiration to keep exercising. In the last couple weeks, Sue and Lynn have provided it. Today, a story about this woman with bronchiectasis, Mary Kitlowski, popped up from a site I'm not familiar with. I googled to verify and found this article in RW, Nov., 2019. Wow. 34% lung capacity and oxygen dependent for activity and she finished NY. Pure grit! I'm blown away and think I'm getting the message.

I hope others with bronchiectasis, find it inspiring, too.
"Mary Kitlowski has been training to cross the line at NYC for five years. Ever since she was put on supplemental oxygen tanks because of a rare lung disease known as primary ciliary dyskinesia, she wanted to show that anyone in a similar condition can do anything they set their mind to.
In 2017, Kitlowski attempted NYC for the first time, but because she had been fighting an infection leading up to the race, she had to stop after mile 18. This year, she was healthy, and determined to finish. Despite having only 34-percent lung capacity, Kitlowski wants to prove that anyone can be active, even if they have to get creative in doing so.

For her race, Kitlowski wore a portable oxygen concentrator, which required battery changes every few hours. Her husband carried them alongside her as the two took on the five boroughs. She ran for the National Organization for Rare Disorders, and finished in 9:50:26."
