Getting better and better and stronger and stronger, before I started this journey I couldnt walk up a flight of stairs without being winded, yesterday I ran 3 miles! I cant wait to actually run a 5k with my friends! People, stay positive and work hard! People read so much negative, I just wanted to share my positive. I love my Lapband

Good for you, we're getting there!

Great for you. How did you start running? I have always wanted to be a runner. I do a ton of Zumba but I think I need to mix it up. I would like to lift weights and run. When is the 5K?

3 miles is great! I plan to start the couch to 5K program at the first of the year. I should be healed enough by then to bounce my stomach while jogging . Not to worry I'll have my compression shirt on when I jog. If all goes well I'll be ready to run a 5K in April.

This is the one I'm doing! My friends neglected to mention its actually 8k but hey. I will give it my all and with their help, who knows, maybe I can do it..(.hmmm?) We will see.

If you can run 5, the race day adrenaline will get you through the last 3, lol. Fantastic achievement, running was always the main goal, I always imagined that feeling of triumph as I crossed a finish line. I didnt quite imagine myself crossing first, lol, and I dont think THAT will ever happen but we are competing against ourselves first and foremost.
