The feeling of accomplishment at the end of a race is the best rush ever! Hopefully that will motivate you to keep it up. Congratulations on the completion of your first of what I am sure will be MANY races!

Good for you. I started training the 2nd of Feb and finished my first 15K on saturday. Goal is half maratnon in mid April. If you havent already, research Jeff Galloway. He developed the walk run training method. My current pace is run 3 walk 1. Lots of good info on Jeff's web site. Once I figured out I could run its become addictive. I also highly recommend fitbit. Get those 10,000 steps in each day. It's suprising how much that helps.

I ran my first one this weekend (Redbud Classic in Oklahoma City). It was such a great feeling of accomplishment. I did the 9 week C25K program. Ran the whole thing and did it in a respectable 34 minutes.

Amazing! Congrats! How did you feel afterward?

It was awesome! My mini goal was to run it under 40 minutes...my lofty goal was under 35....I ran 34:56!! Not too shabby :)

I am now looking for a 5K in June!

That feeling of accomplishment at the end of a race is pretty addictive. Especially when you better your time from race to race.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
