Weekend workouts/training/etc
Hi all! Saturday was physical rest (but mental stress!) day, so Sunday we had our group long run. Fell a bit short of the projected 14 miles, did 13.5, but such a scenic route that we didn't complain - - Bethesda to Union Station, so it's basically a tour of ALL the monuments in DC! We've got another 14 miler that's slightly less fun next week...

I bet you could make a cool 'GO' camera film of your runs!
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Actually, our coach from the marathon program had a GoPro and we got to see his footage at our post-marathon banquet, filmed for the whole 6 months of training... it was amazing to see how we ran and progressed thru that training! Plus, such a beautiful area really lends itself to filiming....

Hi danslilady-I got "into" running to to continue to lose weight along w/ WLS then to maintain weight; I started about 1 year after surgery and now has been 2 more years; My maintenance is affected by it, when I am not running my weight seems to go up anywhere from 5-10 lbs, stays stable when actively running; My tip would be to start with a program like the c25k, start slow and know over time you will see the results!

Thanks Bill! I'm sure I may have to repeat some weeks! Right now, I'm taking it nice and slow. I am interested in the mechanics of running. Any books you recommend?
I am signed up for my first 5K at the very end of April! The Run like a Diva marathon. I'm running it with a friend who is 5 years out! I'm hoping to run the whole thing!
