 So my scale has been stuck for 4 months now, but I continue to get healthier by running.

Today I ran my first 5K since high school (A lifetime ago, I'm 41) and I am so proud of me!

I would have been happy to finish the race without walking and was hoping to come in under 40 minutes. 

I finished in 34:45 and took home the 2nd place medal for my age category!

Today is a happy day.

It is a happy day! Yeah You! Great job on the medal, the finish, and the first race since high school. Save that race bib! Congrats to you; awesome job - you have some great and powerful legs (plus those lungs and aerobic capacity is cranking too!).

YOU GO GIRL!

Maybe it was your spirit spurring me on as I finally ran the whole 5k on the treadmill today! My time was 32 minutes but of course the treadmill is easier than actual land.

Yay for you!!! Yay for me!

 Don't I know it! I had been training on the treadmill and I thought I was ready until I went out and ran on the road! What a difference! Oy!

Maybe our spirits were pushing each other! WLS surgery girls united! LOL!
