We live in Fort Worth, and I probably will not do those races, but I am a fan of White Rock, and just ran The White Rock Marathon last month! Welcome, and congrats on your journey!!!

Out of curiosity, what was your fastest 500M time?

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
I run for those who can't or won't. I run because I once was one of those people.
Well, I'm starting the new year off right by joining my weight loss support group for a walk today at noon. You can walk/run as far as you'd like so I'm shooting for ten miles. It's 14 degrees outside right now so I don't know how far I'll go but at least I'll be there doing something. I can always go to the gym later on in the day.
As for 2010. I think that I'll commit to running 1000 miles this year. Dan and Cassie really impressed and inspired me with that accomplishment. I just hope that my right knee holds up.
In May I'm going to run the Indy 500 Mini Marathon. In October I'm going to do the Hilly Hundred bike ride.
I'd like to do at least two Half Ironman Triathlons. I'd also like to run at least one full marathon sometime this year.
I must become a better and stronger swimmer.

I weighed 313 pounds on December 1, 2008 the day of my RNY surgery and have lost 81%
of my excess body weight to-date. Current as of November 1, 2009
OH Mini-Challenge Goal for New Year's Day is 170 pounds. 11 pounds to go!
I'm small time...so my plan is to do at least one 5K per month, maybe doubling up on some months to avoid the August - September Texas heat. I'm stuck on which to do for January; the Resolution Run in Addison or the Too Cold to Hold at White Rock. I'm seriously considering doing both but they are back to back on the weekend and don't know if I can spare the time. My husband runs every day and I just don't have the 60 - 90 minutes each day like he does with other obligations right now, although I can manage 30 - 45 minutes to maintain good health.
Any one else doing either of these in the Dallas area?

1 olympic distance race
1 70.3 distance race.
a couple sprint triathlons
1 1/2 marathon
maybe a couple century rides if I can fit them inbetween the other races.
My year long goal is to average 3 miles per day running. I'm already in the hole because of my surgery, I have another week + of not running per the doctor, so I'm going to need to play catch up already.

Well I need to get my act together and really get fitness into my life.
I'm 8 months post op and I've not intergrated exercise as a tool yet.
So I'm looking for encouragement.
Thanks for starting this group

To beat my all time best 500 freestyle racing time.
Go up by one level every 1.5-2 months on the machines at the gym
Ab work 5 days a week to help out with the girlish figure!
