I can't wait to RUN!

Hello.
I am having a Realize Band placed on 6/5/09 and can't wait.

One of my top goals is to RUN!   I know that there is a runner trapped inside of this body.

I walked the Tucson 1/2 marathon (December 2007) and the Phx Rock N Roll 1/2 marathon (January 2008) and really want to take up running and participate in 5K's, 10K's, and even run a 1/2 in a 2 - 3 years.

I have tendoinitis in my right ankle, so I am not doing too much treadmill work, but I have worked myself up from 5 minutes on the elliptical to 50 minutes (this morning).
I will try for 60 minutes on Tuesday -- and keep at that, every other day, until my surgery.

Once cleared for exercise, I will continue the elliptical and add in some weight work on alternate days.

I really enjoy reading about all of the running and exercise success here!   You inspire me.

Good Luck Kath!  Once you set your mind to something it's amazing that the body will follow!
