i know you've read this 100 times now, but yes do it!
wasn't there a guy (bleavitt?) who was going to downhill ski at three weeks post op? anyone know if he did it?
i signed up for a half marathon before i even knew what an AN was. i'm three weeks post op right now and the half marathon is in 4 weeks. i'm going to TRY to do it - even if i have to walk a lot of it. i've run this week for the first time (just a couple of miles each run with walking).
hope it goes well! have fun!

You have already heard it but I will say it again... 

GO FOR IT !!!GO FOR IT !!!GO FOR IT !!!

someone told me you only fail if you don't attempt something ... if you don't manage to get
it done you didn't fail...it was just a learning experience and you move on to the next one until
you find something to master ...if you accomplish what you set out to do you graduate and
hold a masters...

they said it prettier but you get the drift

What ever happened to the skier bleavitt?  I was rootin' for him since I used to be an avid skier as well . . . before RA hit.
