Susan1 needed to stop halfway up a hill.

Transcript

I suspected something wasn’t you know very perfect with my health you know at kind of a teenager age. I had to climb a bit of a hill to get to school and uh, when I was walking with other friends I especially noticed the difference in my comfort level versus their comfort level walking up the slope. Um, especially with you know, maybe some textbooks um, in my arms at the same time. Because I don’t think backpacks were all that popular then. So [clears throat] I’m dating myself here.

But yeah I just noticed that I was a bit winded. Sometimes I’d have to stop for a minute halfway up the hill. And I basically decided that it was just – I was just out of shape you know? I was never really an athletic person to begin with. So I was not really interested in sports per se. You know, I would walk. I would walk the dog. I would swim but that was about it. And so that’s what I thought about you know I’m just not as in the same physical shape as other people are.
