    no.

    You do need to let me know when. All I've been doing is walking lately. After the 15k I sorta lost my motivation.

    When's your surgery scheduled?

    The funny thing is...I hadn't really figured the math. So...I see I'm almost to the 9 mile mark, and I'm thinking....there really aren't very many people up here at the end...that's odd. I passed the 9 mile mark thinking, "WHAT?!" Then began calculating and realized that I had 3 more tenths of a mile to go. Serious blonde moment.

    That reminds me, my goal is really 15 km/h and not 9 mph which is only 14.4. Sounds strangely similar.

    I think 10k is the furthest I have ever run in one go, and I think I will keep it that way. I like to run 4 minute intervals with short pauses between them.

    I've found that if I pay the money and sign up for something I'll actually train for it. i.e. I was "training" last year to run a half marathon, but when life got tough I dropped the training. I'm a frugal person...had I gone ahead and paid the money to run then you can bet I wouldn't have stopped training.

    That's what I need to do...go ahead and pay the money, and just make myself do it.

    I don't know which emoticon to use...the thumbs up or the consoling emoticon? I'm happy that you're on the path to health, but commiserating with you that you'll have surgery. Either way: we get to run a 5k together and crack jokes the whole way! I'm looking forward to it!

    Serious question. No attempt to trivialize, etc, this decision. If one knows after the surgery that they are going to HAVE to eat much less because the stomach is smaller, then why not just make a decision to eat like that anyway and skip the surgery? I was 370 and lost over 100 lbs. I did it by exercise and changing how I ate and cut back. I mean it is doable without the drastic measure. I just hate to see you have to resort to surgery. I know people have this surgery, then start eating more little by little and stretching their stomach back out and gain the weight back. So the discipline has to be exercised either way.
