I am so thrilled!   October 18th, in celebration of breast cancer awareness month, I'll be doing a 5k with one of my closest friends from work...   And you have no idea how absolutely extatic I am!!!   It's something I've been saying all along that I wanted to do, and it's been on my "list"....   now I'm finally doing it!

WOOHOO!!!

Just wanted to share the good news w/everyone!

Mary,
That is wonderful news about the 5K.
Are you running or walking?

I have to say that your new avatar is smoking hot.

Thanks Tammy!  

I think we're starting off running, and more than likely finishing off walking!

We'll see what we're up for!

Mary,

That's terrific, if you think you feel good now about committing to it, wait til you cross the finish line, it's an awesome feeling and I'm going to be looking into some in close proximity to where I live, though I do two, sometimes 3 a week on the treadmill at the gym, my best time so far has been 46:52 and I've started incorporating some running into it.  Isn't it amazing the lives we are living as a result of WLS and the support here and at Barix!

Hugs, Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

I haven't been "training"   haha so we'll see how it goes, but I know I can for sure walk it, if I can't run.

It truly is amazing.

Men aren't allowed to particpate, so I'll be standing around like an idiot while Mary is on the move.

I LIKE it HG!!!  Standing there like a BOOB!!!   LMAO!!!
I am looking into running a 1/2 marathon next year so a 5K would be a good start for me.  Good luck Mary!  And enjoy the view from "behind", Norm...
