Back With a Capital Vengence!

Hiked the Desolation Trail to the Salt Lake Overlook. Ran a mile downhill because it was easier on my legs than walking. A little boy stopped on the trail to wish me a Happy Father's Day. I'll take it :)

5 months post surgery today. Seems like forever ago, yet not. I am definitely ahead of where I was last year at this time and as much as I have avoided saying it for fear that I will jinx something, I think I am fixed.

Evening ride up City Creek to the Water Treatment Plant. Big plans for tomorrow.

I CANNOT believe I can do this! Ran from work to home via the BST for 8.2 miles total with about 5 running. This used to be my favorite run and I haven't been able to do it in 2 whole years. I honestly didn't think I would ever be able to do it again. No complaints whatsoever with the left hip. Right SI joint is out and feels like shiz, but that will get better with time. First run without any of that quad tightness holy crap! Had my poles and Nathan back so my arms and upper back got worked more than my legs.

Seriously cannot believe I did this tonight!!! Especially with the heat, which is oddly not bothering me at all this summer. I think I am just so psyched I can do things that I would probably be out there if it was a 150 degrees and my skin was sizzling off.

Nothing but resting, stretching, and strengthening today. Left hip feels fine after yesterday amazingly. No complaints. Right SI joint on the other hand is super messed up. PT spent a good 45 minutes trying to get it back into place. One of these days it is going to stick...

4.5 miles on the BST. All good.
