I set myself a 10K goal!



Recommended Posts

Looking for inspiration to get exercising again, I had the brilliant idea of combining it what what I love most -- travel. Today I decided to run the Crescent City Classic 10K in New Orleans on Easter weekend. I already had a gift certificate for a few complimentary hotel nights, so this fits in nicely.

I have only done one 10K ever before, the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, and training for that years ago was also motivating. Here's to another successful experience!

Good luck TC. I am thinking about concentrating this winter on doing a 10k right off the bat next spring. Should be interesting.

I've been toying with the idea of a 10K myself. I ran my first 5K in February and all year long, I've been saying 10K, 10K, 10K.

Please keep us posted. I love the idea of traveling to run too. I know others who've done that with marathons. It really does motivate you!

      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.
