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?

So I did my first run on Saturday. 2mi.

Place (women): 64 Time: 27:36 Pace: 13:48

My time was so much better than I thought it'd be! And I could have kept going. Which is a good thing, because I'm signing up for my first 5K - 8/15.

Also, I'm so freaking proud of my husband. He's hasn't had surgery, but he's been supporting me every step of the way and getting healthier too. He's down 60+lbs to 215 now.

Place (men) 102 Time: 21:53 Pace: 10:56

Sunday I will be doing my longest duathlon so far. 5K run 30K bike and another 5K run. Did my last push of training this morning. I know I will likely be the slowest but I know I will finish!

First 5K tomorrow. So freaking excited!

Also registered for a 5K 9/12 and a mini marathon (4 miles) 11/23. Signing up for these runs well in advance is a real motivator. I'll make my one year surgiversary 12/10, so the mini-marathon is perfect timing.

I agree - signing up ahead is great incentive. Today I did my first 5k since my surgery three and a half months ago (the one I walked three years ago doesn't feel like it counts any more!). My time today was kinda lousy, but I met my goal of finishing in under an hour and without injury or pain. My pace was 15.17/mile and 47.02 total, so my goal for the next month is to get to 5k in under 40 minutes. Unfortunately I work on Sunday mornings, and at least half the runs out there are on Sundays -- still, that leaves the other half!

I'm looking to do my first 1/2 marathon in February. I've never done any sort of marathon but I really want to try. Does anyone have any tips in terms of nutrition? I'm 2 months post-op with RNY.

For me it's all about walking, hiking and backpacking and where the next adventure is going to take me. For the last 6 months I have been training for a recent backpacking trip to Colorado. We had a blast! Now I am training for an easier trip to the Ouachita Mountains next month. I love the outdoors!! Always looking for a new adventure. Next year my wife and I are planning some hikes in the Smoky Mountain National Park and a small segment of the Appalachian Trail.

Just... Life! :-)

Run Disney at Disneyland this weekend!! 5k and 10k!!!

My daughter is training a team for the local Tough Mudder here - which I've wanted to do since i learned about them. She's pushing me to pick one and train for it, so i'm thinking Chicago May 9-10 in 2015. Anyone else interested?

I completed and rocked the Dirty Girl 5K mud run a few weeks ago.

Onward: I signed up for the Tunnel-to-Towers 5K in NYC at the end of September, a local neighbors 5K on raise funds for her son'a medical condition in October and the Baltimore Color Run 5K in November. I also want to do the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning at my parents place in NY.

Lots of plans and big plans to rock them all!!

Just finished disneyland 5k and 10k last weekend! Another 10k this weeknd, then Ragnar relay race the weekend of the 20th and then a half marathon in October!!!!! Maybe my second triathalon in November!

I am 60 days out and I just finished a Diva Dash yesterday. It was extremely difficult but excellent training for the Sparta Race this November.

thanks for all posting this information is very important for my and help full nice to meet all

My second 5K event starts at 6:50 tonight. I'm confident that I'll beat my best time (46 minutes).

For me, I am training for tough mudder right now

June 2015, whistler British Columbia!

I have already done a 5k, 10k, mud runs. Next year I want to train for the spartan race and tough mudder!!
