Title: Runners, how are you doing after your surgery
Post by: Woodstock Hippy on July 14, 2011, 08:39:15 PM
I ran for almost thirty years until arthritis in my right hip stopped me two years ago.  In the past two years I've been racing the mountain bike, avoiding running and feeling good.  Now, over the past month both my hips seem to be getting worse every day.  I'm thinking that I'll need surgery soon.  Once I'm all healed I hope to resume running at a lower level say up to distances of 5 miles to 10K and I plan to focus mostly on long distance swimming.

So I'm just asking,  how are you doing with running after your surgery?
