My return to racing
9 06 2009Last year, I was in a cast and race announcing at this event. One year later, I raced three separate events and loved every second of it.

Happy healing to all.

Congratulations, and thanks for the inspiring story and race report…I am an ultrarunner who was feeling blue after volunteering at a recent event…..hope to be back participating like you did at least a year from now!

You will get there. It seems like a long way away, but one year creeps up fairly quickly. At least that is what I thought.
I hope to get into a few ultra events. Maybe next year.
All the best to you in your recovery.

Hoss,
I ran across your blog and it has been very inspiring. I’m at week 6, still NWB, after a full rupture in my left side, playing tennis. I had stopped playing tennis for 10 years then returned with a vengeance at age 44, playing like I was when I was in my teens. This whole experience has been quite daunting and scary. I’ve already had a shoulder and two knee surgeries which I didn’t think was scary at all but this is a whole different level of scary.
I’m work as a psychologist at a hospital. My days are fast paced and I work two 12 days during the week. I’m trying to decide when it would be safe and HEALTHY to return to work. I’m thinking at the 12 week mark once I can confidently walk without aids (crutches, knee caddy’s). Do you have any advice?
Many thanks in advance!
Richard
