Why I walk the Bellin Run: Jacqueline Habza, Neenah

May 23, 2011

Three years ago I had to have a stress test and was only able to walk for 3 minutes before tiring.

After talking to my doctor about the test results, I was told that I needed to recondition my heart. A heart is, after all, a muscle and mine was out of condition.  

I started walking at work and this year I decided to challenge myself to walk the Bellin Run. I know I can walk 1 mile, I just have to do that six times.

The challenge is for me to continue to condition my “muscles.”  I’m taking the Bellin Health XL conditioning class and I’m realizing that I have a lot of additional muscles to recondition besides my heart.

I am looking forward to finishing the walk.
