11 months post-op.
Today marks 11 months since surgery, and it’s also a milestone I picked out the day I got injured. I was Googling recovery timelines while I waited in the ER and decided that I’d shoot for running the annual 5K race held by the nonprofit where my wife works. So, 2/10/18 has been on my mind a lot for nearly a year.
I’m happy to say that I completed the race and managed to come in a little under my goal time. Even more important: I came out of the event pain free and ready to continue training for an 8K race in late March. I have to remind myself that staying injury free is the main goal…it’s easy to get caught up worrying about times.
Congrats! Glad you were able to finish it and still feel good! Getting in a bit under your goal time is an added plus!
