It's one of my dreams to run a marathon.  About a year ago I was running four times a week but my body wouldn't lose weight and I couldn't take the beating my joints were taking with 140lbs too much on my frame. 

So - 31ish lbs down and I ran for the first time tonight and it felt AMAZING!  So much less pain in my feet, no belly pain (which my surgeon told me to watch out for), MUCH less winded....which is amazing considering how much muscle mass I've lost in my calves.......

but I RAN!!  Seven weeks out of surgery and I was RUNNING and LOVING it!  I was so happy.  

5-K here I come

then 10K
Then half-marathon
then marathon by the time I'm 40!!!!
