2014 Races



Recommended Posts

My first race of the season is a 5k tomorrow followed by a 10k in April and May. Through the summer I'll do a zombie run, warrior dash and finally in Oct a half Marathon.

Runners...what are you race goals this year?

Already this year I have run 2 half marathons, a 10K, and the Miami-Key West Ragnar Relay. I only have one more race scheduled this year... the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon Relay where I'm running the first 2 legs of the relay and concurrently running the half marathon. I'm considering running the new Disneyland Avenger Half Marathon in November, but I want to get plastic surgery and that race would only work if the surgery is timed just right.

Have fun in your races! My first 5K after surgery was in May 2013.

I ran a Frosty 5K a month ago, I have another cold 5K this coming Saturday. I have signed up and paid for 3 other 5K's. I also plan on doing a color run, and a mud run. I am toying with the idea of training for and running a 10K near the end of summer. Can't wait. Good luck with all your races!!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
