Went for my first run today, with my buddy, Liz. We did intervals (telephone poles) around the inside of the golf course near our homes. It's 2K around, so I guess I ran 1K! And I'm alive to post about it. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - did some heavier breathing, but was always able to talk. I'm sure I'm going to feel it tomorrow, but right now I feel pretty good. We'll go again on Thursday, and on the weekend as well - 3 days/week seems to be the recommended amount right now. Sure an hoping to shock the scale into doing something other than standing still!

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
