Topic: RE: Anyone Else Out There?
I haven't had surgery yet, but hope to soon. I am still waiting on approval. Anyway, I want to take up running after surgery. Is it hard to start back to exercise after surgery? I think you two have done really well. I wish you both continued success with your journey. Take care 
Topic: RE: Anyone Else Out There?
Hi Deb...I am Chris. I have had surgery back in July of 2003 and my weight loss has been slowing down and I still have some more I wish lose. So, I thought I would shake up my exercise routine by jogging a bit. I had always hated running in the past, but now it interests me a bit. I am thinking about going out today after work for a little jog/walk. Sounds like the 1 min. jog and 2 min walk may work for a start for me.
Thank you for posting...looks like it just may be the two of us in here -or- maybe others will join if we keep posting.

Topic: Anyone Else Out There?
I had my surgery in December 2003, and started a program of walking and jogging a month ago. I'm working with a personal trainer, and am up to 20 minutes of 1 minute jog at 4.5 mph and 2 minutes walk at 3.5 mph. I have a goal of finishing a 5k run by the end of this summer.
Is there anyone else out there who is learning, or has already learned, to run again? I have this fantasy of getting in good enough shape to, just once in my life, run a marathon. I know that this is a long way in my future, but it is a dream I am striving for.
Come keep me company, and we can suport each other!
