i'm running!!!
I posted a few weeks back that i registered for a run clinic, well it has started. My goal is to complete a 5k run. When i registered i was scared, nervous and anxious. Running is something i have never done!! Well maybe as a kid playing, but thats it. Well i really think this could be something i fall in love with!!!
This is something i would have NEVER done pre-op. I love my RNY, it has enriched and added to my life in so many ways!! I love have more energy and being active. the exciting part is when i asked my kids if they wanted to run with me they said yes!! I have received so much encouragement from my hubby friends and family, plus i have connected with someone from this board who runs and is a big supporter as well. Sends encouraging messages and texts, they "GET IT"
