Downloaded the app on my phone and started today. Day 1 was simple. Skin around my incisions was sore a bit from the running segments. Plan to stick with it and my 2013 goal is to run a 5k with my daughters, who are both competitive runners and run track. Used to run a lot before a broken foot and a ton of weight gain stopped me. Can't wait for the first race some time in future...wish me luck!

Thanks for this info - I'm going to try this. My daughter is 10 years old and joining Girls on the Run soon. They train for a 5K and I think the actual 5K is in May. She has to have an adult run with her and I want to be able to. I'm pre-op and was hoping to be sleeved by now' date=' but I can always start training now and restart after. I should have time.

I'm 240lbs now but I actually participated in a 10K MS Mud Run a few years ago. I was 210 then, but trained with a personal trainer and was in much better physical shape. I walked most of it but it involved much more than walking/running - every 1/2 mile or so you had an obsicle like walking through a Water filled trench with mud up to your calves or belly crawling through mud, etc. I was so proud of myself for finishing. It was amazing! I want to eventually be able to do it again (only better!)[/quote']

This might sound crazy but tht sound like it was fun.

GOD is Able!!!
