Hello everybody! Is there anyone out there in CT that have taken up running or jogging since surgery? I am interested in seeing what's going on out there!!

Hi Erica, I am starting to jog...Frankly, it amazes me how my body is able to do this!!! I have never been able to run in my whole life...Neer enjoyed it either...Now it feels great, and gives me a surge of energy....I am looking into getting some new running shoes though..Got any suggestions?

Hi Erica I started to jog after 10 months I had gastric bypass and had personal trainer to teach me proper jogging and joined few road race. It was wonderful experience and special moments in my life. I am still jogging three times a week and do various exericise on other days when I am not jogging. Kathy K

Hi Dorota My favorite running sneakers are Oasics. The Second favorite is New Balance running. sneakers. Start to run for two min then walk for five min then build up to 5 min running then walk for five min (repeat) to help you build up your running skills. We can running little at Walk for Obesity if you want me help you there! Hugs Kathy k

Hello there. I have been running for about 6 months and have signed up for the Walt Disney Marathon in January. Except for some knee pain that has crept up lately, all is well. It is really fun to get out there. There is a marathon and a 10 mile race at rocky neck park on Oct 22. I think I am going to run the 10 miler for my long run that week. You should come and check it out. It might get you thinking about running those long distances though. You can also come over to the exercise board where there are some more runners hanging out. Take care Scott
