My one year surgery anniversary is March 30 and today I finished my first 5k and my first time running outside ever. I have been training in the gym so I was pretty excited when I finished. I finished in 38 minutes, not super fast but I was not last. I have used this surgery the way it was intended. It is a tool to get me to where I want to be. I track my food, watch my nutrition, take my vitamins, and work out as much as possible. My health will not take a backseat anymore. The best thing about today was watching my 5 and 3 year old cheer for their mommy as I crossed the finish line. Best feeling in the world.
