I just finished my second 5K in 26:52!



Recommended Posts

Less than a year ago I could not even consider walking 1 mile. Just yesterday I finished my second 5K and I was able to finish it in less than 27 minutes!

Here is a before picture last year at 324 Lbs: post-36340-1381366395565_thumb.jpg Here is the picture at the finishline yesterday at 173 Lbs: post-36340-13813663955072_thumb.jpg

My next goal is to do a 10K under 1 Hour!

Good luck to all of you starting a running program and stick to it before you know it you will be running your first 5K.

Nice!

I was in the same boat. Couldn't have dreamed of running pre-sleeve. It has been a wonderful journey since.

Congrats!

I got a serious stress fracture in my foot and shin, it wiped out my attempt at the zombie 5k.

But amped up my yoga, I can do crow and headstand now...

Don't be. I was nervous on the first one since I didn't know what to expect but after you finish it you feel motivated to do it again.

Thank you. You time will go down. The first one you worry so much about the pace and being able to finish that you tend to slow down. You will see that the second one will be easier.

Congrats! Major physical accomplishments! That 5k time is crazy- I'm envious. The sub hour 10k goal is within your grasp. I ran a sub hour 10k, but I have never ran a 5k in under 28 minutes. U can definitely do that. Thank u for sharing the pics as well. What an amazing transformation. The sleeve IS an amazing tool! Keep up the greatness.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
