Completed my 1st Marathon
REST WEEK
Ran my 1st Marathon today. Still hard to wrap my mind around that...
As I crossed the finish line arms raised with my 15 year old son Evan and 14 year old daughter Abby I cried tears of joy, pride and gratitude for choosing WLS and giving me a chance for a healthier life!!!! At 350 then and 205 now this would not have been possible!!!I highly doubt I will run another....still ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Which one did you do. Be proud of yourself. After my first one I thought never again and since than I have done 2 more and this year I am doing a 50 k trail one which will be like 60 because it is trail running. Don't be surprise if you do another one. Do a lot of walking to help with the pain you might be feeling. Sitting will make it worse. After you do a few the pain does not seem so bad as the first time
my sisters in law did a marathon and swore to never do another. Since then they've done a half AND another whole. now they are trying to talk me into a half. I'm not looking to do anything longer than a 5k at this point.
