Topic: I DID IT! St. Patty's Day 5K at Naval Base Kitsap - Bangor
For years, my sister has done a St. Patricks Day Dash. (Her b-day is St. Patricks Day). I've been so envious and quiety jealous. This year, she skipped the Seattle event due to a change in route, etc. ANYWAY, I signed up for the one on Bangor (sub base) with three of  my co-workers.

I set a Personal Record. Completed the 5K in 32.15 with an average pace of 10:24 (just under a 6 mph). I DID THE ENTIRE ROUTE WITHOUT WALKING A STEP!!!

Okay, there...just had to share.  Another 5K in April then my first 10K in June!

Pic after the race. I'm far left, then co-workers, Toni, Sundi, Jeni. Toni and I did the 5K the other two ladies improved their one mile run time!




Hugs,
Kathy

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Topic: RE: Daytime or Weekend Support Groups in the Oly, Puyallup or Lakewood area
Awesome.....only 3 blocks from home.   I went to my first group health support group meeting last night and I was inspired and felt really good afterward.  I'm looking forward to meeting others in this area.

I'm hopeful. I just saw a group of knitters meeting at the west oly TOP Foods, in the front meeting area with the fireplace and windows all around, and thought it looked like a nice place to meet.

It would be free to meet there, but not totally private.

If you are willing to go to Vegas, you may want to check with Medical Tourism.  For Dr. Umbach, I was quoted $10,900 and that included my hotel room & 1 night in the hospital.  The only part of the trip I had to cover was the plane ticket.

Revision from Sleeve to DS (with re-Sleeve) on 10/10/17. Slow and steady ...

I've already had my surgery with him, and i know several of his other patients - we all think he's fantastic.  Thanks for your input though!
