7 year anniversary

[petemeads]

My turn to announce another anniversary - 7 years of BHR left hip, and 4.5 years ceramic THR right hip.
No hip problems as such, although I always feel the BHR side around the scar and there is an occasional clunk. I also have a little more range of movement from the ceramic hip but not a problem when climbing, biking or running.
Had an excellent season of running from October 2020 until June this year, managing to beat county Gold Standard times for 70 age group at all distances from 1 mile to 30km, and last year's longest walk in the hills was 42 miles, but since June I have been restricted by sciatica/lower back problems which are finally resolving at 6 months - hopefully!
Still racing 5k parkruns every Saturday, coming up to 400 by Xmas, but currently way off my 23:27 PB from March - but I hadn't run that fast since 2016 so there is every hope that I can still get back there.

Onwards and upwards!

Pete
