Real progress

Tonight I went out with Neil to take his power walking to a new level by introducing some jogging.  When he fist started training he had done the 1.75 mile course in 40 minutes.  Last time he managed 30 minutes which was a great improvement but tonight he got it down to 27 minutes!  When I left him he was breathing rather heavily so I couldn't hear what he was saying but I am sure it was "thanks we'll need to do that again real soon! He can now manage 16 lengths of the pool without stopping so this is real progress.  It just shows what can be done with the right determination and mind set.  Well done Neil - not bad for a man who was fighting cancer last year!
