No - but hello from a north of atlanta-ian!
I can ask on my FB if you give me a better idea of your location. I have some friends in Marietta that do a cross fit there and they love it.

I had surgery last Thursday. Just wondering how soon I can start with light weights for arms? I sent an email to my physiologist but no reply yet.
Surgery 9/29/16 RNY.

I'm still pre-op, but I'm very off and on with the following workout with dumbells three times/week (got this off the internet somewhere):
One Arm Rows (4x10 right, 4x10 left)
Flat Bench Press (4X10)
Seated Overhead Press (4x12)
Shrugs (4x8)
Seated One-Arm Overhead Extensions (2x10 right, 2x10 left)
Alternating Curl (3x10)
Currently don't do any lower body (besides walking) because of a bum knee.
A different setup I liked:
Dips, Pullups, Squats -- Dips and Pullups on an assist machine.
Two times per week I'd do 3 x 10 or 3 x 12 of each, on the 3rd day that week I'd do 1 x 25 of each, trying to find the sweet spot on assist so I could do 23-25, but not 26. Don't do this routine right now because of the knee.
That's what I heard as well. Your body is going through a rapid change and will take time to adjust. I'm 4 months out and my arthritic knees swelled up a few weeks after surgery, and I was doing less walking than I was pre-op. Now it seems all is fine.
Good for you on the walking!!

Not sure how this week is going to go. I did my 50 k race and finished it feeling so strong. In fact I said I feel so good I could go and do another 12.5. I was the last one to finish but 7 people did not finish. I found it interesting that there were only 36 girls doing the race and 6 people in my age group. 8 1/2 hours was my time.
Monday walk
Tue rest
wed swim
and the rest of the week just not sure.
maybe just get some more swimming in
This week is a little uncertain due to my partner needing to have heart surgery tomorrow. It's unclear if I'll be home on Tuesday morning to run or not. But this is the ideal plan.
Monday - yoga
Tuesday - running
Wednesday - pilates class
Thursday - running
Friday - rest due to travel
Saturday - yoga or running
Sunday - yoga or running
I'm going to spend the weekend with my mom, so it's unclear at the moment which day will be my running day!
