Tufts 10K for Women in October
When I decided to have this surgery, the only goal I set for myself was to run and finish the Tufts 10K for Women in October, 2006. I started running 2 weeks ago and can run 2 miles without stopping, even though I'm a painfully slow runner (4.3mph so far).
Has anyone here run this race before? Anyone else interested in running? I think it would be so amazing to have a bunch of WLS patients running! I have bad knees that hate running, but I'm committed to doing this one race. Anyone else?

Thanks, Tooter! I'm a lousy runner, but I'm working on it. Before surgery I couldn't have run across the living room, but in high school and college I was a jock and used to have to run alot for various sports. I was still 200lbs even back then, but I could run about 5 miles. Go figure. Fit but fat, I guess that's how I was and will always likely be.
Thanks for the support.
