Tinkerbell 10K at Disneyland 05/09/15 (I will be 5 weeks post op, hopefully it goes well)

Disneyland Half Marathon Labor Day Weekend 15' (I will be 5 months post op and I am already training)

Will probably sign up for more 10K or Half Marathons next year depending on how these go.

I don't. I dont have many (actually any yet) other WLS friends except online. Good luck on the half! I'm a little worried about the 10K having never run one before but I'm training at 13:00/mile and hopefully being a bit lighter by then will help.

September 6th Foam Glow 5K Gran Prairie Tx

It sounded so great I had to google Foam Glow 5K after reading your post. Turns out there's one in Charlotte in July & my husband & I just signed up for it!!!! In addition to warrior dash in June this gives me a lot of motivation to get in shape!

Just registered for my first 5K! I'm going to be doing the Colorado Rockies homerun for the homeless in May! I have been training for the past month and hopefully I can run the entire thing by May 3rd.

Two months ago I had only run maybe a quarter of a mile total in my entire life!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
