Six months ago today I had surgery. It has been a great ride. I am so pleased with how things have gone thus far. As of today I am down 97 lbs. I feel better. I have more energy. Having lap-band surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Many know that I am training to run a 5K race in December in Knoxville, TN. I have been on a walk/run training schedule increasing my run time weekly. Today I actually complete the distance of a 5K (3.2 miles). It took 45 minutes and I ran about 1/3 of it. In my opinion, this is a huge accomplishment. Six months ago I was the guy who had the philosophy that I only ran if someone larger than me was chasing me.
I'm pretty darn tired now in my after lunch daze, but I must say I am quite proud of how far I have come in six months. I am looking forward to the future.
It is a beautiful day,
Marc
