Great Job! Keep pushing yourself and before you know it you will be attempting a half marathon like me. Keep up the good work. Runners high it the best drug in the world!

My 10k went really well. I think the half Marathon is next year. Congrats on going from 45-30 bmi in 8 months. That is amazing.

Congrats! That is exciting. I just ran my first 5k a few weeks ago.

I had to have surgery on my foot, but hope to get back at it in a few weeks!

Keep running!

That may be the hardest thing in sports to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it. I do remember it from my high school cross country days. I've come close to the feeling again during this 10k.

Another 5k tomorrow, the last one of my 40s, Maybe I can win something in the over 50 group :) I'm hoping this feels easy after the 10k last weekend.

Congrats on the 5K!!! I remember the feeling that I had when i ran the entire time of mine as well. You will not forget it! My next goal is to run a full half marathon without walking. I did a half marathon in March with a pretty good time of 2 hours and 40 minutes but I did it on a 5/1 schedule. I am signed up for another one in November and hope to run the whole thing!!!

      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.
