Post-Ops....remember when...?
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
Putting on nylons...bending over period.....tying my shoes, painting my toes nails (almost never) dreading dropping anything, using the dust pan. My back used to kill. So happy to say all of those things are so doable, and things that ppl really take from granted..... that I used to dread. I too am not wearing running tights, I did however buy a pairs of tights (leggings) for the gym and am not ashamed to wear them now my legs are pretty skinny, LOL. I was shocked as to how comfy they are. And that I can actually wear them. It sure beats huge heavy hot sweat pants !!! Continued luck with your love for running !!! You truly are an inspiration !!!
