Screamin Knees - 5k Run - Join me if you dare
Hey Everyone
If you know me you know I am a closet runner want to be. However, these old knees just give me hell when I try. I did accomplish a goal of running a 5k when I hit my goal a few years back. Well, the goal was to cross the finish line and not on a stretcher
Which I did 
I think this must be one of the all time favorite goals for us during our journey. I get questions all the time, how do I train, what do I do, how do I do it. To be honest I didn't know. I just jumped on my treadmill and tried to get up to 3 miles before the race. Big mistake, as the road is way different than a treadmill.
I am going to the Y tonight...they are having a formal training for our Fall 5k run (Sept. 28) that I did a few years ago. Do you want to train with me? Find out if there is a fall 5k in your area. If not, you can still train and learn and do it for yourself
COME ON, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA
If you want to join me, go to your profile and for a goal let's call this the Screamin Knees - 5k. That way we can track each others progress and cheer each other on. WE CAN DO IT
I will post what I learned tonight tomorrow. Watch for the thread called Screamin Knees
Take care,
Kathy

My knees ... especially the replacement one ... really would be screaming if I tried to run ... or even walk a 5K ... even a mile would set them off. Maybe in water I could do it, but can't afford to go to a pool. Sorry, can't take up this challenge until the ortho doc decides to do something about this knee. Glad your knee is up to the challenge, though. I had hoped after WLS and knee replacement I'd at least be able to walk.
