I'm one of them, and I'm doing it again.  I just registered to run the San Francisco Half Marathon.  I choose to run the first half because it's the flatter half of the course and it also goes over the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge.

Just the thought that I can even attempt such things is another reminder that I AM A MIRACLE and how WLS has brought so much freedom to my life.  I am a very lucky girl.  If you're considering surgery or are waiting for your surgery date....life is really good on the other side. I would gladly do it all over again just to have the life I do now.

Once again I'm running for a charity YouthRun4Fun a local San Francisco charity that sponsors local running/fitness programs for inner-city youth of all races, sizes, shapes and levels of abliltiy.  If you want to donate a few bucks it would be greatly appreciated. the link is in my signature. If I reach my goal of $250 I get to run for free.

and.....

If you are interested in walking or running the Revlon Walk for Women on May 9th it's not too late and it's also for a very good cause.  Your registration fee includes a goodie bag, and a t-shirt.  The link is also in my signature....so, what are you waiting for???!?! SIGN UP!

 

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Excuse me? (raising hand)

Is running considered exersize? (she says smiling as sheepishly as possible waiting for the answer)


Monica, you seriously ROCK! Good luck with your RUNS! (I mean the marathons...not the runs...well- you know what I mean...right?)

Good luck with your run.  I hope to see you at the Revlon walk.  I am all signed up with Jean to do this walk.  I am so looking forward to it.  I really want to start running but I am not having much luck finding a sports bra that will hold my upper half up or swi**** down enough that it doesn't hit me in the face or bounce so hard I think my boobs are going to come flying off!  I even went to the running store and they dont' have a thing for boobs this big.  So until I get some more weight off this bod and plastics to take the boobs down to a manageable level, running is out, but walking is way in.  How fun that you are doing the SF Golden Gate Bridge walk/run.  That sounds like a blast and you are doing it in one of my favorite cities.  Best of luck and I will see you on Saturday.
