As someone who is not able to run, the comment made me feel sad for a few seconds, but I am used to that feeling since I feel it every time I see someone jogging down the street. I am lucky that I can still ride my bike for that cardio fix. It's been a process to try to be happy about the things I can do instead of focusing on the things I can't.
Congratulations on your healthy strategy for dealing with this, and, as a fellow cardio addict, I am deeply sorry for your loss of this vital activity.
