Freakin' amazin' .... I ran today!
I have never liked running, either as a form of exercise or for any other reason. Fat kids like me always waddled. It was embarrassing. Even when I started to become more active in the past couple of years I would avoid it. My arthritic knees and plantar faciitis made running or even walking fast painful. That's why I ride a bicycle. I just resigned myself to being a non-runner..
Yesterday I was in the store check out line and realized I left my wallet in my car. I ran.. yes RAN out to my car to get it. It wasn't until I was running back to the store that I realized that I was running! (Kind of like Forrest Gump) And I was running without pain thanks to about a year of wearing orthotics in my shoes, losing weight and working out in the gym five days a week.. which by the way is something else I never thought I would enjoy doing.
Life continues to amaze me.

Herc, you're one of my heroes. I'm amazed at the progress you've made, and all the incredible things you've done since your WLS journey began. You truly inspired me to get off my butt and start exercising even before the surgery. So I'm especially happy for you. Like you, I've never really liked running. I want to do a 5K in the spring, but I'm not sure I'll be able to run because of my knees... But I'm sure as I lose weight, it will get better, and maybe someday, like you, I'll just spontaneously burst out into running!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Herc - I am going to recruit you for the Good Guys v Bad Girls running challenge! Congratulations!
