Weekly Workouts 5.2.16

REST WEEK

Ran my 1st Marathon today. Still hard to wrap my mind around that...

As I crossed the finish line arms raised with my 15 year old son Evan and 14 year old daughter Abby I cried tears of joy, pride and gratitude for choosing WLS and giving me a chance for a healthier life!!!! At 350 then and 205 now this would not have been possible!!!I highly doubt I will run another....still ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Yours in WLS,

Bill Mac

Hi,

Quick  update although I am sore overall not as bad as I thought. Still it is my calves that hurt the most but was up this morning at 4:30 to go to the gym with my son. I swim in the light walk and continue to stretch. At this point cannot imagine doing another but you never know right!!!

When I did around the bay race which is 30 k the very first time as soon as I cross the finish line and my trainer put the medal around me she said well and I looked at her and said are you crazy you want me to do a marathon. Every part of my body hurt and she said yes but a few more k. I said OK and you know as time goes your body does not hurt as much as your first one. Now I might say after I do my ultra no more ultra but never say never. Give yourself time and you might just see yourself doing another one. No mater what be proud that you did this one and you finish upright and smiling
