lsu2868 708 Posted October 1, 2013 Hey there everyone. Today has been a great day. My wife's surgery went great and the surgeon was extremely happy afterwards. I have spent the entire day at the hospital, lots of waiting and walking around between the waiting room, cafeteria, the car, her room, etc. I was able to get a total of 3.06 miles in today which puts my final total for the month of September at 126.9! I still can't believe I was able to do this so soon. Thank you everyone for the motivation! Great job and I can't wait to see everyone's progression next month! 7 mytime2shine, kwigillingok, NewSetOfCurves and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montereygrl 104 Posted October 1, 2013 How long after surgery can you start running. My dr said, walking, walking in treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike only at this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 1, 2013 How long after surgery can you start running. My dr said' date=' walking, walking in treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike only at this time[/quote'] I started about 4 months post op. But surely could have started sooner but was afraid to because I was still so heavy. Now I wish I had started sooner. 1 Montereygrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ribearty 544 Posted October 1, 2013 I am reporting late but made it, barely, 100.2 miles. I like to live on the edge. ha ha. I was worried that I wouldn't make my 100 as the end of the month came closer. See you in the October thread. Butter, glad to hear you are doing well. Good job everyone. This thread was very motivating for me. 3 Butterthebean, lsu2868 and NewSetOfCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsu2868 708 Posted October 1, 2013 How long after surgery can you start running. My dr said, walking, walking in treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike only at this time I was 6 weeks post op yesterday and I started this past weekend doing some short running segments in my walking. I started a light jog for about 50 yards at a time. Damn I run hard footed. I felt like Bigfoot running thru the forest hiding from the cameras. I will continue to increase my distance a few more yards at a time. I was going to start the Couch to 5K program this week, but with my wife having her sleeve surgery yesterday, I have decided to push that back to start next week. I cleared starting that program with my Dr. first. 3 Chelenka, Montereygrl and NewSetOfCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
