Well I ran my first 10K today!! And a personal best to boot! Done in 1:23 mins. Never would have dreamed this time last year that I would ever be doing this!! What a great feeling of accomplishment! And what a difference loosing 115 pounds does for your self esteem as well. Surgery was Feb. 26th, 2013. If you are thinking of starting running, just do it like I did and you will feel great!! I am doing a mini duathlon in July and another 10K in August, not sure about September and October yet, but I am sure there will be something. Next year I may set my goal for a half marathon, you just never know the possibilities you are capable of!! Lovin' life to the MAX!!

congratulations. It is such an amazing feeling when you come through the finish line. Not sure where you live but there are some great half marathons out there. Road to hope is one of them. Good Luck with duathlon. Maybe next year you will do a tri tri
