Jogging and crying....
My 2 weeks prior to surgery I started at 314. That was on May 23 of this year.
I am down 86 pounds, 12 sizes and this morning I jogged.. i started the Couch to 5K program.
It was the first time in my life I woke up early and eagerly to exercise.
I walked for 5 minutes and then when the program told me run I swiftly broke into a run, no pain just freedom and the early morning stars up in the big black sky....
I cried... tears of joy that I am able to do this, pain free for the first time in nearly 20 years.
I want to thank My Surgeon.. Dr. Kemmeter in Grand Rapids michigan for encouraging me and appreciating that I knew what the hell I was talking about when I first met with him.
I want to thank all of the VETs and members of OH that played a part in my early research and struggles making a desicion.
This Saturday I will be going to Cedar Point to ride roller coasters and walk the park pain free and hopefully not have to take the walk of shame off of a ride for not fitting...
Now... I need to go take a tylenol for my sore thighes from my jog this morning.. LOL.....

Bravo!
So happy for you katie! I pray that my hips and knees get better with weight loss so I can experience this, as well. I would be thrilled if I would be able to just walk without all the pain!
What a beautiful time to do what you did. Private time with our Heavenly Father with all the beauty.....AWESOME moment!

Sorry mate your title had me chortling away. I had this mental image of when little kids are crying and running at the same time and they make that : "ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah wahhh ah ah" noise with each step. For some very odd reason I imagined a grown woman doing that.
Awesome work there girly. I like everyone else is very proud of what you've achieved.

RIP Mickie aka Happychick. You will be missed deeply.
You missed with Snot running down their face.. believe me.. my brain does not function so differently than yours does and the thought did not escape me as to the mental picture of it all.. I did laugh while running at the thought of crying while jogging..
even better... I ran into a mailbox today.. no ****
