Well ok, maybe when we had to do that damned Presidential fitness run in school where I ALWAYS came in last. BUT, during my walk on the treadmill this morning, I decided to up the speed and I actually RAN for 5 minutes. That was a huge WOW moment for me when I could actually stand to do it for that long. The gifts that RNY has given me never cease to amaze me!

Running....who'd of thunk it?

lol Congrats! That's fantastic, that is one of my secret goals, but as a woman with a fairly good size chest, I need duck tape! but before I can get to that point, I guess getting on the treadmill would be a start!

I'm willing to bet you'll be signing yourself up for a mini marathon by year end.
