    image.jpg
    Seven months ago I hated having my picture taking .Now I want them to track my progress..
    But there is a story associated with this picture.
    We were inside and I asked my husband to go outside to take a picture of me . He took a few. As he was snapping it , he saw a lady fall on the sidewalk above our yard.
    Now I have not ran it many years and even though I get up daily and am trying to get up my speed to do a 5k ,I still feel I am to slow.. Without thinking I RAN down the side walk and up the steps to her . My husband was yelling at me not to run! Yes , yelling at me not to run!
    On the positive side the 75 year old lady was banged up but not badly hurt. Seven months ago I would never have been able to move that fast to help her !

    Yes it was a NSV..
    The person that has been working with me for the 5K at Disney suggested that we do another timed race before . She kept saying that I will move faster when the all the excitement from the race is happening . She wanted to see me "move under pressure".
    Well, I texted her after everything was over . Told her I actually "RAN"!
    It is something I have been trying so hard to do !

    Hi Roz:

    How beautiful the picture is of you - your husband must be so proud of your success. I still am blown away at how much you are accomplishing by running the Disney 5K. How grateful the lady must have been to have you close by.

    I understand your husband's reaction. I am still at the point of being afraid to run. (But I still weigh in the high 200's). I want to run - feel it inside - but even walking really fast I feel a bit unsteady. However, the pool is really helping. It is just about 3 weeks that we have been swimming and we are loving it. I am swimming a mile most days, though some days still just do a half mile.

    I can already tell a difference in the "bat wings" under my arms - they are firming up again. I also was laughing earlier today. I am wearing a size 3 pants today and should have on the 2's which are also a bit big. But I went to get off the couch and my hand caught the material at my butt, and I realized that my but was getting smaller as well - or firming up. There is a lot of extra material hanging down. Robert also told me when I was exercising earlier that he can see my legs getting smaller as well. Little by little.

    You are special - wish you lived closer - we would probably become good friends.

    Hugs,

    Kathy

    Great job!

    I think Aquajog is the newest "Greatest American Hero" (I think you used the song from the TV show).



    Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

    LOL ,,no hero.. Just happened to be the first people to see and hear her .. But so surprised at how fast I moved .. Before surgery would never have moved like that. I would have been short of breath before getting to her .. And if I got down to the ground to help had . Heaven know how I would have managed to get up!
