MARATHON

Hello everyone! i haven't posted in quite some time, i know, but with good reason. I was training 5 days a week and fundraising for LLS in my spare time. All worth it - On January 10, 2010 (which also happens to be my 45th birthday) I completed my first FULL marathon! 26.2 Miles! I did it!
In my earlier years I never would have tried running at all - nevermind a marathon. What a truly great accomplishment from where I was almost 5 yrs ago. I think I cried the last two miles just thinking about the change in my life because of this surgery. Its been quite a ride.

All this running and my BMI still teeters on overweight - so frustrating.
But I guess its the choices I make. Will always be working on that.

That is so awesome! Congratulations!!! I have run a bunch of 5Ks and really want to do a 1/2 marathon this year.  Thanks for posting your story! And I am "overweight" too but at "normal" everyone says I look too skinny and I must agree. Remember those sill things are just charts!
