Today is...

my 3 year bandiversary!  What an incredible and amazing journey.  I have 3 races scheduled in the next 8 weeks.  If someone would have told me I would be a runner (and like it) 3 years ago - I would have told them they were crazy.  I can't imagine where I would be if I didn't have this surgery.

Thank you Dr. Brader for being a great coach!

Have a great weekend!

Congratulations on your 3 year Bandiversary! You look great and more importantly, it sounds like you feel great too! Thank you for sharing. It means a lot to see someone who is so far out and still successful. You are role model!

Again, Congratulations!

Debbie

Congratulations!!

I cannot imagine the joy you get from running yet, but I am hoping to learn about it once some of the weight comes off!

Enjoy knowing you made it work!

Happy Bandiversary!  I can't imagine being a runner even at a much lower weight.  I wish you continued success!

HAPPY SURGIVERSARY BETH!!!!

I'm amazed and in awe of the way you've turned negatives into positives!!!!  I'm sure your smile will light up the finish lines!!

Good luck,

Tia

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement.  I celebrated by going to a women's only running store and had a fitting for a good pair of running shoes - really a great experience.  I think I can already run faster and farther... LOL.  Here is to another year of successes for all of us!!
