Update from August 2016 THR: back in the game!

Carolyn
Scrambly section of the Water Sign Loop, a 21-mile backcountry “run” in Eureka Valley, Death Valley National Park.

Hi all, quick update to say that I am finally fully recovered after 18 months of careful progress. I trained for and completed my first trail marathon ever, in December 2017. I do everything I used to do and more, making the most of my second chance. Weight training has been invaluable for rehab and it’s now a habit. Had a few overuse injuries along the way but the new hip never gave me any trouble. In short, a home run. R hip still fine and hopefully will remain so. Happy to have found this site and share experiences with folks. We are so glad to have our lives back. Cheers everyone!

Punchy sand near Hidden Dunes, Eureka Valley.

      Sorry I missed this post. As you know I follow your posts on the HipRunner club Strava page and I know how hard you worked for this, and continue to do so. Your story is great and your pictures are amazing. Keep up the running and congrats again on your marathon.
