Latest Running Report

This past weekend the Indiana board went on an OH Campout in Middlebury, Indiana. It just happened that they were having a Summer Festival with a one mile race on Friday night, a 3K, 5K, and 10K on Saturday morning. Friday night's one mile race was the first time I had ever just done a mile race. Thought it would be fun. I was worried when I got my race number tho (see picture on profile). Thought maybe it was a warning. The biggest challenge was dodging horse manure on the streets (this is a large Amish community, lots of horse and buggies). In the 5K's I've been doing lately, I've been running about a 10 minute pace. To my pleasant surprise, I finished this race in 8:55, and on top of that, I won first place in my age group. My first ever win! On Saturday, I ran the 10K . As if it wasn't bad enough to do two races back to back, but a 10K (the first time I've run that far). I guess I should've taken my previous race number warning. At the four mile mark, I had such intense pain that I was forced to walk some as the pain worsened. I finished (and I wasn't last) with a time of 1:08:50. It appears that I pulled my groin muscles and it's painful to even walk. Luckily it's getting better day by day. Another experience that wouldn't have happened if not for WLS. I'm so thankful I decided to start a new life. Floyd

Floyd, you sure can be proud of your accomplishments. It amazes me constantly all the things that were difficult or impossible to do before WLS. Now being able to do them without even thinking. Congratulations on your win! Sher

Isn't it amazing the stuff we can do now? Congratulations on your win! Lizzie
