It has been almost a 15 months.since the last time I was in a gym Many reasons, Brain surgery ( many months of brain tests, placement of a shunt) for hydrocephalus, (

But today I returned to the the gym at LA fitness. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill (about 1 mile) and light upper body routine. I had a consult with a trainer and later he will help me with routine and fitness goals. He was impressed that my fitness goal is walk races again such as 5K, 10K and half marathons. Of course my uber fitness goal is to walk the Portland marathon. But we will see.
