9 months out

baldguy

Hey all. I’m now 9 months out from my THR surgery. Rehearsal to run first week of May ’22. Today I ran 5 miles non-stop for the first time. Slow but steady. It’s coming back and I’m thrilled. No problems, no pain, no issues. It’s awesome to run again. Lost 12 lb of the 33 I gained in my 13 month layoff. 21 to go. My goal is a spring half marathon.

      Hey bald guy… if you know how to read my profile history on this site (hard to explain) you will read about my journey back…. To summarize:
      There is hope…

      to not have pain in the affected hip

      to be able to run again (for me 45 days post-op)

      to race again (60-days post-op)

      to run a marathon (11 months post-op)

      to run an ultramarathon (13 months post-op)

      to better my pre-op 5k (ran 20:07 16 months post-op)

      to better my pre-op 10k (ran 42:46 17 months post-op)

      Now I’m not expecting lifetime PR’s at age 50… but most docs say I should not be running 😉

      LIVE IN HOPE HIPSTERS!!!!!… (Click Here to View Full Post and Comments)
