What fitness related EVENT are you training/preparing for?

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?

Guess I need to step it up. Y'all will be leaving me behind

I just partially ran the Zoo Zoom 5k at the MD Zoo...with an energetic 6 year old...then walked it all over again when the animals came out :).

Now I'm working up to the Ugly Sweater Run and hoping to at least jog for half of it.

Considering a few other races between now and then. My goal is atlas the one race a month, although January doesn't look very promising.

I am feeling inspired to do something I never thought I'd do. Since having the surgery last week, I am focusing on hitting the gym as soon as I get the clearance from the doctor. Then my goal is to get myself ready for some fitness competitions. It may take a year or two, but I'm determined to not ever let my weight and health to get out of control again. I can do this with the help from Jesus!! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Phillipians 4:3. I pray everybody has a very Merry Christmas!!

A 10k March 19th and a half marathon May 1. This is the first time I will have participated in anything activity wise.

I would day Valentines Day.

Was looking forward to the night time cardio.

Wife decided to go visit her family that week, though.

I'll get to play Mr Mom role that week.

Get my workouts done in the gym as normal.

Training for my second marathon on Memorial Day. Have two half marathons and a couple of 10k trail and road races in between now and then and a Triathlon in July (just got a new bike!) and a trail half marathon in September.

Oh and almost forgot-- a road Ragnar in March and a trail Ragnar in July!
