They are doing a cycling evaluation as well I think in a couple of weeks. I didn't sign up yet; I haven't ridden a bike in ages, but it is something I do eventually want to get back into doing.
Thanks for taking the time to write this - it's SO helpful and really well written. I had my surgery last August and feel 20 years younger. I have always been reasonably fit and active and walk around 3-5 miles every day with my dogs. I'm also doing weights to help with muscle tone and loose skin. However, I've now got to the point where my walking is taking up a big part of my day and I need to crank it up a gear. I had discounted the idea of running due to my age (nearly 64), but I am now thinking 'you only live once' !
I've received so much support and inspiration from this site, so thanks to everyone who posts xx
