Officially 12-weeks post-op, which is supposed to mean RUNNING and well I don't even feel close to giving it a try. Last surgery I was already up to running a mile and was getting back into Nordic skiing at the 12-week point and I was feeling great and hopeful. It is hard not to get discouraged since I was told that this recovery would be so much easier, but progress has been so slow and well walking still feels like crap. And then I see something like this and think damn I am a wuss. Maybe I am not trying hard enough, maybe I get discouraged too easily. People recover from much worse things than I! Please watch and vote!!! I guess I want to formally dedicate myself to running again. I see my doc on May 1 and want to plan on getting the go ahead for running. I have 3 weeks and this is how I am going to do it. - Walk more and get on the elliptical more consistently.
- Be religious with the clam shells, 1-legged bridges, squats, fish oil, vitamins, and vegetables.
- Start reading running magazines again.
- Use yoga and meditation to chill the freak out and practice un-guarding that hip.
- Finally make an appointment and use my acupuncture groupon.
- Buy a new pair of running shoes.
