Great job!

I had surgery on Nov. 30 and have registered for the runDisney 10k at Disneyland on September 2. If that goes well, I may have to consider registering for the Star Wars Half Marathon.

Congratulations!!!

So can you tell us how and when you started exercising to get to this point?

My surgery was on March 11, 2015. I started "exercising" aka walking 3 days after surgery. I joined a local 24hr Fitness and went every night and started walking on a treadmill sometimes only 10/15 mins. I just kept doing it. I set a goal to do a 5K and chose the Disney Avengers 5K in November.

Originally my goal was just to finish and maintain the 16 min per mile "required" pace. However by race day I was maintaining a 14 min pace.

Awesome! I did the DL 10K this past September. It was a lot of fun. The 10K courses are a lot better now and you will be in the park 75% of the race.

@@OneDollarBill I'm really looking forward to it. I was gonna do the Super Heroes Half Marathon/Thor 10K, but since I'm a DC Comics guy I figured I couldn't betray myself. :-)

I'm signed myself up for the Infinity Guantlet. That should be an interesting challenge

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
