Our Gastric Band Institute ½ Marathon Team training has officially launched into its first week! The team will stretch, warm-up and take their first steps onto the track as a group this coming Sunday at 8:00am. Patients at all levels of fitness and marathon experience will join together in success as the team begins its second year.

All group trainings will be taking place at Kellogg Park: 7901 W. Washington Ave. (between Buffalo & Durango). We hope to see you each week at our group long walk/run days! Keep in mind that it is important to include rest, cross training, strength training and short walk/run days in your weekly routine.
