Race for life after op??

[HoPe*87*]

Hi all,
Sadly my cousin passed away at the young age of 26 just b4 Xmas from cancer, now me and a few friends want to do the race for life in her memory and to raise some money for cancer. So my question is this. I have just had my op (I'm a week post sleeve) the race is 5k and is in July. So i will be 5 month post op, is that to soon to do this?? Xxx

Well I am 5 months post op & whilst I know I couldn't run the whole 5k, I already walk much further than that now, so at a walk/run pace I could certainly manage it . I think you will be fine, sugar Good Luck xxx

I did it last year and cried to when I finished. I was on my own and seriously thought I might die that last k. But, it was the best feeling ever. I'm having my surgery beginning of March and thinking the same thing. My goal is to be able to run it!

I want to be able to run it next year, not doing it this year but will hopefully have my op towards the end of this year so should be able to do the race next year! I hope xxx
