I am getting ready to go for a run this morning. It will be my first time at this distance 4.5 mi. My training plan has me gradually increasing my long runs and next Sunday I will be doing 6.0. I know I can do this. I am ready, it is exciting, but if I am honest it is also little intimidating seeing all of these dates on my calendar with 3.0-8.5 mi runs for the next 3 months. Gone are the quick 2 mile runs. I will need to get up a little earlier if I am going to be able to do a 4+ run during the week before work. I am proud of myself I never dreamed I would be a runner. My dh is joining me now on Sunday runs and it is great that we can do this together.

It was the end of June so I would say 5-6 weeks post-op. I was walking and using my elliptical before that. I started with a run/walk C25K program first. When I got to the point that I could run 2 miles without walking I just went out and ran 4-5 days a week increasing my distance a little each week. Once I conquered the 5K (3.2mi) distance I decided to train for a half marathon taking place in April 2018. I would ask your doctor just to be sure.
