   <p>I change the channel every day by taking a walk with our Golden and a shorter walk with our Bassett Hound. I enjoy the exercise and I think it’s good for “our boys”. I enjoy seeing other walkers and runners with whom I’ve become acquainted. While I am carrying my O2 concentrator and mindful of limits, my COPD is far from my mind.</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="fr0van" user-id="2476063"/> that sounds amazing! Having those two little furry motivators to make sure you walk every day is wonderful. Combining things you take pleasure in disguises the exercise part and probably makes you feel good. Are you able to do this all year round or do you have to find a different way to exercise in the winter? Thanks for sharing with us. <br/>Jeff (Team <a href='http://COPD.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>COPD.net</a>)</p>

I think they want to record it and post it across the entire site! I will introduce you and hype up the crowd before you launch into it. Jeff(Team COPD)</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Leon Lebowitz, BA, RRT" user-id="2445532"/> thank you Leon. This was a self motivational talk that I figured maybe someone else might need a gentle push like myself. I have met so many amazing people just by saying hello. Even if you don&apos;t learn a new hobby, the friends gained are priceless! Stay cool as always my friend.
