Awesome!  I just did my first 5K last Saturday--had to speed walk most of it due to a knee injury the week before but I swore I was going to do it regardless.  Found out the "injury" is in fact arthritis, so I'm treating that--will go for 1st run again tomorrow.

I am hooked and can't wait for my next one in December!

Don't you just love what our bodies can do after surgery/weight loss??  I wish all bariatric patients would take this important part of their overall health more seriously.

Congrats Paul! 

Your surgery was a week before mine, and so what a BIG inspiration!  I'm sloooowly moving (literally) forward with the Walk Away the Pounds videos... just did my first 2 mile tape today.  And it's this minor miracle.  Knowing that you've managed to do the 5 K.... well... that's just AWESOME!!!!  Too bad I live in Ohio (where Winter is coming on fast) or I'd be looking for a good 5K run to set my sights on (though I'm no where near ready yet).

I've given some major hints for a gym membership as a birthday present next month... hoping I get it and come spring.. I'll be jogging right with you!

Congratulations again.
