Believe to Achieve

Signed up because deferred sg marathon bib to next year again. Had pelvic surgery May 25 and started jogging and walking mid august.  It's been slow healing as I also got my adductor tendons lengthened for tendinitis.  So I feel turn every time I run after three miles.   At beginning of surgery I could not lay on side without a lot of pain with legs together. Or just putting on a pair of shorts or pants lifting my leg up was painful.  So I have come a long way.  Presurgery I couod not run at all so jog walk program got me back to running.  Two weeks ago I jogged with Melanie down south fork.  1 mile walk. 9 miles in a row at 9:58 avg.  since then I ran two five miles. Worked full time. Unable to sleep Bc of stress with my dear daughters    So when do I finally fall asleep ?? Today day of race I turned off my alarm that went off at 540 am and forgot to get up and fell asleep until 626 am  !!  The race is 27 min away according to Google  I try my best staggering to get dressed  get music which o didn't actually put on  and ice water shorts and long sleeve and cami underneath  and head band  it said it woiod be 46 degrees but to me I think it was 52     But I was rushing around and get to start at 701 parking across street by Jordan parkway Amd see the race in motion  I jog to the middle of Gardner village and get helped finding my number abd they save my shirt there fir me   I pin up and start at 708 am   No time for a potty I needed but found one around mile 3 to 4.    I caught up and passed 2:20 pacer.  Got to half way at 1 hour 6 min and some seconds   So x 2 that's a 2:12   So I was 2 min and Sind seconds faster on way back  so 1 hour 3 min 52 seconds.  Loved the fall course and the festivities at Gardner    Because it's the day of sg marathon not many runners  78 total in half  and I was only one in my age group    So ti me it's easy just like a family or friend group run   Finish line well done   Adductors burned a lot   So that is frustrating    Follow woty surgeon in Chicago over the phone is oct   6  so hopefully answers   I have read of I just got the adductor surgery I should be ok to run by now   So o don't know if this is the surgery or compensation.  So look forward to answers soon
