On Sunday I completed my first ever race and LOVED IT!!!!! I think I may be hooked!!!
I met all my goals too! I finished in 23:01, and was 74th of 90 runners.... I just didn't want to be last..... :)

It was so heartwarming to have complete strangers cheer me on and wish me well!!

The only downside was that I never expected hills on the route and was not prepared for them.... So I ended up walking the big one! But still met my time goal... So overall I am very pleased!!!

Now, less than a month to prepare to the 5K that I entered..... AND, I already know there are hills.... So tonight after work I am running with hills!!! I need to practise!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend, I sure did!!

Also yesterday was my 6 month post op check and they are very happy with my progress. I am down 114lbs! YAY!!!

That is so great! Congratulations! That's a big accomplishment - it's so amazing to read about how people's lives changes after surgery. I can't wait to be there, too. :)
