jessl29 14 Posted October 9, 2013 Started running 2 months before my surgery. Let me tell you it's not easy but I have pushed though the shin splints. I really like running I'm sick of shin splints and hoping will ease up and I will get faster after being sleeved. I can run 2 miles now without a break and did a 5K last month(not fast at all). How much easier is it getting for all you post opers? 1 Susie in Lima reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susie in Lima 320 Posted October 9, 2013 Its fantastic!!!! I run a 5K three days a week now! Pushing through some hip and knee pain (which stinks) but I dont want to quit! Keep it up! It will be so much easier when you have all that weight off of you! 1 jessl29 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danyelleb 386 Posted October 9, 2013 Congrats to you!! 2 miles is a huge accomplishment. Way to stick it out when it's the HARDEST. I find its way easier to do. Is it because I'm in better shape? Is it because I weigh a lot less? Probably both. you will be amazed at how easy it gets. Keep at it IF you truly enjoy it as exercise. 2 Butterthebean and jessl29 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
