Hi. Anyone going to walk in the Race for the Cure? Our state walk is on September 18th, and I am doing the 5K walk, which is only 3 miles. I couldn't have done it before my surgery. I am thrilled and a little emotional about it too. I am walking in honor of my mom who was a breast cancer survivor, and I am also walking it as a stomach cancer survivor. I had surgery for a little over a year ago, and I had the added benefit of it being a modified RNY surgery. So far, I have lost about 55 lbs, but I hope to lose another 40. I know that walking and other kinds of exercising have helped me regain my health and energy more quickly. I hope to see more postings on this messageboard because it always helps motivate me when I read what others have to say. Enjoy the good summer weather, and happy trails! Peg
