I'm back to training for a 5k, a Half marathon and thinking of braving my 2nd full marathon.

In between my running I do the "Insanity" program. It's an awesome program and you get toned fast. What gets to me is, I can feel all the muscle tone and the 6pack on my abs BUT thank you loose skin-you hide my success all too well! One day my evil friend I will have u removed for life!

Anyone else training for any distance marathons?

Is anyone else out there training of any kind?

Once cleared, I plan on training for next years Avon Breast Cancer Walk in San Francisco. 33.9 miles. I did it in 2009 (while weighing280lbs) and since then have had surgery on both knees and now my RNY. I can't wait to feel the difference when I don't have so much to carry with me.

Oops, I was tired last night when I posted that. It's actually 39.3 miles, a marathon and a half over two days. I'm in Antioch CA, Bay Area.

Oh wow!!! You'll do fantastic!!!

Thank you! I'm sure it will be possible to finish it this time. Last time I walked all but the last 7 miles due to extreme knee swelling. I can't wait to be out there again! It was such an awesome event.
