First-race post 2nd THR

WedgeC

Well I ran my first race yesterday since my right THR on Aug. 28 of this year; a 6-hr. Trail race on a 3.3 mile loop… run as many as you can in 6 hrs…. I made 9 loops in 5 hrs. 39 min. and the most important news to report is no hip pain!  I had my left hip THR’d 5 years ago and as I have posted here before, many good races with no replaced-hip discomfort!

So I post today to reiterate to the group: listen to trusted and sound medical advice but believe in your mind-body perceptions and connections and never underestimate what you are capable of!!!  It is likely far-less than what you currently believe!

      WedgeC, thanks for this inspirational update! I needed it. I hope to attempt running again in, maybe, 3 months. Continued good luck to you. Cheers, Gary
