5K on Saturday
That's ok bro!
Better safe than sorry. Your day will come. Listen to your body but don't be afraid to push a bit.
Good luck!

Jeff, I think you made a very wise choice. There will be other races but at least you know you were ready and prepared for this one. You couldn't have even considered this a few months ago when you first joined this site.
I have found that I can easily get dehydrated after WLS. I "think" I'm getting enough liquids but will quickly start having problem in higher temperatures. I'm sure things will get better the further away I get from surgery. But, during this first summer post-op, I'm trying to be careful and not take chances.
Again, you made a wise decision.

Regarding not runnings on Sat, you already know how I felt about it. I was cautious in my advice because of the unusual heat and humidity. Your area occasionally gets one or the other but not that terrible combination. Back when I was in my late teens and early 20s, I used to bicycle and run a lot. I loved any exercise that involved distances. But, running in the heat of the day just doesn't make sense. Wait until it cools off a little.
