I'm just shy of my one year anniversary for LBHR and ran the annual Turkey Trot 5K this morning. This is the only running race I have ever done in the past and I had to sit it out the last couple of years because of my bad hip. I feel great now and I placed in the top half of the pack of over 900 racers.
It took me 30 minutes to finish which is no where near what I could run it before but I'm sure I'll take a lot off that time next year.

Whoo hoo!!!! Great for you!! What a nice "happy Thanksgiving"!

Stories like this are "just what the Doctor ordered" (if I can use that expression) for those of us still in recovery mode. I have never, and probably never will, run a 5K, but if I can get back to my Sunday morning game I'll be ecstatic. There are times when you wonder if you'll ever return to pre-op and pre OA activity levels and it's great to hear of these successes.
My heart does go out to those reporting problems after a year or more, especially since it seems to be a small number of instances.

Chuckm, you must be very happy now, well done!

Congrats and welcome to the Surface Hippy virtual running club!

Yay!! Congrats! Thanks for sharing! We all love to hear accomplishments like that!
