Try this again. New and old and those with courage to be encouraged...

I just ran a marathon. Woot!

pouch behaved decently and I didn't collapse of dehydration.

Not aiming at this again...but am happy to say that I may now be the only person in the US who has run a marathon with a colon and one without a colon. Smiler

And I did better on the second run! Ha!

Thanks!

Congratulations! I'm a runner and did 8 marathons before my surgeries this year. I just had my take-down surgery last week, and the surgeon asked me the day after surgery if I had scheduled my next marathon yet. I told him I was going to do the Air Force Marathon in September. He said, "Perfect. We'll be close enough to a year out, we'll do a scope to make sure the pouch still looks good, and I'll run it with you." How cool is my surgeon? Anyhow, hope to join the pre and post colon marathon club with you. Congrats again!
