This morning I participated in the Iron girl 5K in Del Mar, Ca. It was my first EVER 5K that i jogged and I had a blast! I am 5 months post op and down about 80 pounds - with much more to go, but am pleased with my 47:15 time.

Already signed up for my next 5K - on Thanksgiving morning. My goal is to get my time under 40 minutes. Can't wait.

Thanks all for your support ! Really appreciate it.

80 pounds ago I could barely walk to my car in a parking lot, and now I have completed my first 5K. I love my RNY - and post op life.

Have a great Sunday!
Amy

Thanks so much! My long term goal is to one day run a marathon! Baby steps first! ;-) My hubby is a marathon runner, has been for 20 years. I always wanted to run with him.... and not be the fat wife on the sidelines. I can see that happening now! ;-)
