Marathoner

That's what I'm going to be by the end of 2015!

When I had my surgery consultation, the surgeon asked why I wanted surgery. One of my reasons was that I missed running and wanted to run a marathon. In the past, when my weight was lower, I completed a half marathon and several 5-10Ks.

I am in week 4 of training for the Honolulu marathon on December 13th. I'm excited and a bit terrified. And just to add a little to that terror, I'm also going zip lining when I'm there. Always wanted to do that but felt I was too fat.

I wouldn't be doing any of this if I hadn't made the choice to have this surgery. So happy to be getting healthy and being able to live life again.

    Woo hoo! That's inspiring. I'm signed up to walk my first 5k in July. I can't run anymore because my knees are shot, but I can walk!

@@Babbs Good for you!! I did a 5K a few weeks ago and what a rewarding feeling to cross that finish line. It's addictive!
