    massindex reacted to M2G in October 100 Mile Challange!   
    Wow incredible! I'm glad you are ok.
    I'm up over 100 for now. I don't have my phone in front of me (that is where I keep track) but I think it was 101.4. I will go with that for now. But remember my goal isn't 100, it's 150 which is up almost 30 miles from last month (Sept. I hit about 121 miles.)

    massindex got a reaction from Butterthebean in October 100 Mile Challange!   
    I had absolutely nothing left in the tank about 1.5 miles from the finish and collapsed. If they had helped me, it wouldn't have counted so a woman came out from the crowd and started yelling at me to get up with a Philippino accent . It actually made me laugh and she said "Good. Now go finish." I managed to chuckle the rest of way in just thinking about it. It took my mind off of it, that's for sure. I got some IV fluids and a massage at the end before I went back to the hotel. Funny thing was that I couldn't really sleep long and I was back up only a few hours later. I was kind of in a state of delirium. I didn't want to do anything but feel what I had accomplished. It's something no one can take away from me. I'm actually thinking of getting a tattoo as a reminder of the event (mind you I'll be 60 in a few years and never thought of getting one before, so that is pretty funny to those near to me).

    Cleared for EASY walking. Frankly that 1.5 miles was a bit too much. I should have kept it to a mile. Today I will. Heck I may even call today a rest day. I don't have much energy but I'm also tired of sitting around already. The restlessness is the hardest part for me. Running 140 miles last month didn't burn me out on running like I hoped it would. And now the weather is taking a very good turn and that makes me wanna get out even more. Gotta. Be. Patient.

    massindex got a reaction from LifetimeLoser in Here is what the local paper had to say about my success story...   
    http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/jan/28/marathon-runner-mark-noel/
    Shortly after this story was published, I was contacted by NPR to participate in a round table discussion. During the course of the 45 minutes we were on the air, we discussed my journey and whether weight loss surgery was the answer for many people. I was on with the head of UCLA's Bariatric Surgery unit and discussed the VSG and other options for people with weight issues. As soon as the podcast is available, probably tomorrow, I'll post a link to it and you can down it.
    It was hard to come 'out of the closet' to tell everyone about my surgery. Even now there are comments that somehow I'm weak for having the surgery and not doing this on my own. As the doctor on the show pointed out, 97-99% of the people who try to do this on their own without surgery will fail and likely gain even more weight. Without addressing all the issues, you are setting yourself up for failure.
    Enjoy my story...

    massindex got a reaction from MIJourney in suffering tremendously..   
    If it's shoulder pain, it's probably gas from the operation. It can become pretty painful. If you are experiencing any fever or items abnormal though, please see a doctor. As with all things gas related, this too shall pass.

    Please. Short pain for long term gain? No question, yes. The pain lasted periodically for a few weeks, mostly gas related, and got better when I got off my duff and walked.
