I just 10 days post op so I know I am extra slow right now, but my goal is to have it together by the end of the month. So whatever is in May, keep me in mind and I will see if I can stroll with you!

I am signed up for the color fun fest on May 4th is at the Sam Houston Race Park I signed up for the day Wave

Ok, I'll check it out!

Congrats...I hope you make your goal... I need to set up one of those... I have RA, so I would have to walk it, but I'd be happy coming in last as long as I finished.

My sister is a power walker, so she does "runs" but usually comes in last...but still does them ;) ...

I have RA too and I only walk and its a slow pace and honestly I will hurt for a few days afterwards but its awesome to just finish it makes you feel great when I finish my first one I cried

so did you run it or walk it @rayanne ? for that much walking I need to use, at least, a walking stick... but we are going to a Ren Faire soon and I will have my stick in hand to enjoy the day like I haven't been able to in YEARS

I'm in Florida so I can't walk with you but I have been doing 5ks and I love them. I walk slow/fast/ trott whatever...I just want to finish (and not be last - I do have some pride !). It has become my #1 exercise. I get fresh air, meet people and loose some weight along the way. My favorites are the Gate River Run and the Donna Breast Cancer events - both have well over 15,000 participants. I feel like a marathoner because I participate and when you finish you get a medal which I proudly hang in my office at work. Good luck and way to go !!!!!!
