My first meeting with Phyllis was at the senior center and she came in to join and use our exercise room. She had such a sweet giggle. I showed her how to use the treadmill and she said she felt safe going 3 miles an hour and then when she look down she realized 3 miles an hour was a slow as it could go. Phyllis started out at 3 and crept up when I don't remember where she ended up but she was religious about coming in to exercise.
