Aargh
Advice wanted (if you can help me come up with a good excuse that would be
good. Lol)
I have a dear friend who has battled with weight and illness most of her adult life.
She is a bit older than me. Last year she underwent stomach bypass surgery and has
lost 13 stone and is looking fab. She still has some health niggles to resolve but her
diabeties and high blood pressure is gone. Her stomach is also smaller which dictates
how much food and fluid she can take in at one one time, plus she has to have VitB injections
every month or so.
Anyway she told me today that it is her dream to get fit and eventually run a marathon
and did I want to give it a go!
Well once I had got up off the floor I started laughing like a mad woman.
I use to be really fit and could swim a mile plus go on 100 mile cycle rides then as my
late 30s approached the busyiness of life took over and I'm now unfit, plus have some
health niggles including a foot niggle.
I have been dieting since June and lost 12 pound, I would like to lose another stone,
that would take me to my ideal weight.
Part of me is thinking she is off her rocker! But just out of interest does anyone know how
to go about training for a marathon, would two middle aged unfit women with health
problems have a "cat in hells chance."
All excuses accepted!
