Running My First 5K Since Surgery!

In T-minus 8 hours I’ll be taking part in my 2nd 5K – but the first one since my surgery!  The first 5K I did was the Gobble Jog which took place last Thanksgiving morning, 2 months before my surgery.  I did it on a total whim with my sister and brother-in-law.  My time for the Gobble Jog was 52 minutes and 42 seconds.  I am super excited to see what my time will be now that I’m almost 70 pounds lighter!  I haven’t really set an expectation to run the whole way – if I do, than great!  Right now I can jog about 2-2.5 miles without stopping.  

This race is the Run Like Hell 5K which is a fundraiser for historic Oakland Cemetery.  I bet there will be a lot of crazy characters in Halloween costumes!  You get to run through the cemetery.  I’ll report back tomorrow after my run.  Right now it’s almost 1AM and I just got back from a party – I didn’t drink anything except glass after glass of water, haha.  I’m off to bed.  Back with more tomorrow!
