First race post-surgery
This past weekend I ran in my first race since surgery for achilles debridement and Haglund’s excision nearly 9 months ago. It was a 5 mile race on a flat course and the weather was fairly mild for summer. Perfect for my “first” race back. I have to say, it might have been the first race where I didn’t look at my watch, and where I just took in everything and everyone around me. It was awesome! I’m not running at the speed I used to, but I really think that will come. It was still fast enough to win my age group (40:04) - of course, there were only three women in my age group! Showing up counts at this age:)
