Hi All...Have not been around the boards too much lately. Mostly because I have been working hard to run the last leg of the Baltmore Marathon Legg Mason Relay. My part was 7.3 miles (the longest leg) and I got to finish at the finish line.Well...short and sweet. I ran 7.3 miles in 1 hour, 3 minutes and 54 seconds. That works out to pace of around 8:45 per mile.Now, if you had told me back in March (when I had my surgery), that I would be running 7miles, I would have laughed at you. If you had told me it would be during the Baltimore Marathon, I would have thought you were nuts. If you had told me I would run it at a pace that was less than 9 minutes per mile...I would have just left the room.Yes...it was a very good day! :-)Hope yours was too!

Congratulations David! That is amazing. Keep up the good work. I bet you will be running the full marathon in no time.

Good for you David! The reason I want to go through WLS is more to be able to perform healthy life style tasks such as this, I have put a goal of joining a cycling marathon (it doesn't matter how it is) for a year after my WLS. Good luck and thanks for giving us hopes of better future! Ellie
