Just curious what event fellow WLS patients may be planning on doing.

It could be a way to meet others at one of them. So what's on your upcoming "to do" list?

Event name?

Date?

Location?

Iron Girl Clearwater Half Marathon on April 12

I just started to get back on the program, so running is still a bit down the road. But I am going to walk a 5k on April 1.. Miamisburg OH.

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.

@@blashlee I'm doing the tinkerbell half that sunday! Do you know anymore bariatric folks doing it? good luck!

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.

@@blashlee 13:00 is perfect!

On April 11th I'll ride in my second bicycle race. This event is 72 miles around Mesa, AZ. Also, I've signed up for a triathlon in October and will ride in another race in Nov.

Disney half-marathon 1-2017!

Update! I recently signed up for my first 5k in june! Super nervous!

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!

I'm doing the Tinkerbell half on May 10.

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!

1st 5k of the season....not my best but not my worst. 28m52sec. So glad to be running outside again!!

Signed up for my 1st half marathon this summer also. Any advice from other runners?....

Mo' Cowbell Marathon on October 4th in St. Charles, Mo.

This will be my first full marathon. I'm using the walkjogrun.net "Beginner Run Marathon Training Plan" and plan on somewhere around a 5 hour pace.

I'm at the end of the 3rd week of the 18 week plan. I've done 16 miles...once in the past, and this plan has you go up to 20 miles before the big day.

I was thinking of starting a "Fall 2015 Goal Run" thread. No matter what distance each person is doing for this falls goal "race", maybe it'd help us achieve it. We could each put our daily or weekly training runs on there. Any interest?
