Welcome!!

I wish more patients had second thoughts about popping a pill to solve what is the result of poor nutrition and low levels of exercise.

I admire your enthusiasm for the marathon. Boston Marathon starting line is not far from here. My BIL photographs the event every year.

I personally am not a fan of repetative motions and hard core sports.

My mother at 80-something does a workout that builds muscle and core strength which gave her the independence to drive 700 miles round trip every 3 weeks when she needed cancer treatment..... and her dad in his early 90's was independent and driving his friends around until the end.

Welcome to the forum, lots of knowledgeable people here.
