I literally just started walking/running this week. I have decided to sign up for the 5k at the Ann Arbor Marathon here in Michigan on April 3rd.   

I told my sister's in law about it, since they have run marathons before, and they brought up the Warrior Dash that's  coming up on July 31st. It's just outside of Flint Mi. 

I'm taking the leap and registering  for it.  I'm super crazy,  since it's a 5K with 12 obstacles.  I better get serious and be ready by the end of July.

It's just in time for my 1 year surgiversary on 8/4. What a way to celebrate!

The Warrior Dash is tons of fun. I did one about 4 years ago - before I messed up my kneee, when I was still able to run (the first time I lost my weight). It was the best!

Congrats!  I was hoping to do both of those, but I'm getting my gallbladder out on April 1st, and my plastics are done on July 11th.  I'll definitely do both next year.  You have more than enough time to prepare for the Warrior Dash, and that should be pretty cool.  

I'm doing the Superhero 5k in Flint on April 23rd.  I may have to walk quite a bit of it, but everyone will be dressed up and it'll be fun.  Another fun one was the Santa Run in Flint in December.  That was my first 5k, and it was really cool being surrounded by hundreds of Santas.

awww man, that sucks about your gallbladder.  I'm nervous about the Warrior Dash.  I don't have a ton of upper body strength and there is a climbing wall.  Hoping to be down another 20lbs by then, so I'll be doing some weight training here to try to get strong enough to make it over the wall.
