I posted last week that I did 5.4 miles. I was so close to finishing a 10k that I had to try it. I never in a million years thought I would say I could run 1.5 hours without stopping. I'm 66 lbs down. Like I said in an earlier post, I was getting winded going to bed, putting on my CPAP, and pulling the blankets over. I would have to sit up, until I could catch my breath. What a change! When I hear people say they hate running, and couldn't run around the block, I can see how we put glass ceilings on ourselves. I've done it my whole life. I can't wait to see what I change about my life next. I would say the sky is the limit, but it's not true. We can go beyond the sky if we dream it. Thank you lap band.

Good Job!! That's amazing.

You are doing a great job, I can tell that you are proud or your self. I am also training to walk a 1/2 marathron on Nov 7 @ 7am. My be we can share our joy over the months. I was banded 7/14/2009 and I have lost 93 pounds. I am walking @ a 16.5 minute pace, a far cry from 20 to 21. Kept up the great work.

Thanks again to every one's kind words. What a feet to do a half marathon, even walking. Your 16.5 minute walk is close to my 13.5 minute mile - jogging. Your right behind me in walk mode. I better step it up a bit. What a great story!!. You've lost 93 lbs. What an accomplishment. I hope to get there someday. The funny part is I was doing a walk/run when I started at around 19-20 minutes per mile. Best wish on your race. Keep us posted, how the training is going.
