Hi folks....
I am a 59 yr old women from Central Valley California. I had gastric surgery on 4/29/15 & have lost approximately 80 lbs but I need to use that last 10 lbs. I have set the goal for myself to participate in a 5k before my 60th birthday in November although I have never been a runner or even a higher. I hope to find friends here that have similar goals.
