Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Walking in the rain...attn Ruchie

Hi Ruchie,
My goal is to run a full marathon in Sept. This group I plan to join will help us reach that goal. If my Doc. says no I won't do it. I ran cross country and track in high school and college and running was an addiction for me.
I got to the point I used running to lose wieght after binge eating. I was hospitalized at age 19 and 20 for an eating disorder. I've had that under control for a long time and that is a reason why I haven't ran and exercised for along time too. To run a marathon and keep my wieght controlled will be a great accomplishment for me.
I could write a book about my life and it sell. I suffered depression a year and half ago and through counseling I realized I have a few regrets in my life and my couselor told me what is keeping you from accomplishing these goals. He helped me set up goals. My two goals right now are going back to Nursing School and running a Marathon.
Currently I'm taking pre-science and math courses and I start Nursing School summer of 2004.

You take care and good luck,
Barb
