Hi everyone, just wanted to post how the run went yesterday. Finished in 2:27:17. Ran the whole course only stopping to go to the restroom once in the first mile and to get hydration in every single station. I think I had an overall pace of 11:15.(the best time in this race a few years back was 1:50).
I went in with the intention of walking the 1st mile and running the rest but i had time to do some dynamic stretches (hip swings and stuff like that),so i started running slow from the beginning.
I did not have a watch with me for the first time and this gave me freedom to enjoy and not worry about time. I was happy to be there!
I didnt play music either for the first 6 miles, just taking it all in and trying to listen to my body....mile 9 the legs were tired but I knew I was going to finish,the hip was holding good.
Right after, I iced the hip and stretched for a while. I must say the worse part was walking about a mile to the car!!!. ;D, but smiling the whole way.
Today I'm sore and planning to do some yoga stretches on my own.

Great job! How does this compare to your half marathon times before surgery?
