1month post THR

Hi fellow hip runners! I am 4+ wks post ant rt THR and doing great! I’m getting back to normal. So nice to walk unaided without pain or a limp. I took my first short bike ride today after going on exercycle for 30 min earlier on. The real thing is far more fun esp if you’re going somewhere for lunch. I’m walking more and decided to commit myself to some dreams. I’ve always been a runner, marathoner, jogger walker. I did 7half marathons the year before my THC and walked a 5k the day before. My doc doesn’t want me to run after my thr but I’m not so sure .I love doing races and I’ve signed up to do a 5k walk in November and might even do one in mid September. I feel I can be a good walker at reasonable distances. My goal is to just walk this year and in 2019 increase my walking distances to 10 k then 10 miler then ultimately the Orange County half marathon in May since that was my last half this year before surgery . I will intersperse some slow jogging next year so I can finish my races without being picked up for being too slow. I think I can finish my races if I pick the right ones that tend to have walkers .I’ll just be cautious but enjoy my newfound mobility without pain. I’ll keep you all posted on my progress. I will run my Hip Runner shirt at races too cuz that’s who I am now.
