When I started running in March 2007, my husband laced up his running shoes for the first time in 20 years. Now my boys - ages 10 and 12 - want to run, too. They've decided to join the same training program that fostered my addiction. So, gastric bypass has not only changed my life, it's had a positive impact on my whole family. I'm looking forward to the day that we cross the finish line for the first time as a family. Cassie

Cassie, That is so great! I'd love for my husband to run with me, but he really has no interest in running. You are a wonderful example for your family! Mary

I was just thinking about this the other day. I've got a few friends who have either picked it back up or are accepting new challenges based on my constantly yammering on about it. I hope the kids will be into it when they get a bit older. Cheers!

Congrats. I am glad it is working well for your family. I try to get my son into it and he is all for it until the race actually starts. Then the melt down comes. I wish you more luck than I have.

Scott. Does he get caught up in winning and losing? Is that the source of the meltdown? I'm interested because I've got little one's as well. Thanks. -Dan
