Veteran  355   Lakewood Ranch, Florida |  Subject: Back in the game after surgery...I had surgery on Oct 7th for a sinus related problem. I just got the ok to start training again and i am aggravated in regards to my run. I feel like this is the first time i ever ran. I can bike with no problem and i have not been in the pool to test that out basically because i am afraid that all the mucous and dry blood from the surgery will come out in the pool !!! It is hard to pound the ground when i know i can barely do a mile !!! I know i have to put in the miles but it is tough to get motivated to run !! I was never a good runner , always avg around 10 :30 - 11 min mile anyway but now i am at nearly 14 !!! i feel as if i have no wind at all !!! Ofcourse, i also gained a few lbs since surgery and i am sure the holidays wont help with that !!! OK, thanks... i just wanted to Vent alittle bit !!!! any advice would be greatly appreciated !!! Thanks again

Last Febuary I had surgery and also had to go through three seperate post op complications. Getting back out was slow but I built back up over time and now am back at my ususal 9:45 mile. Good luck! |

Veteran 355 Lakewood Ranch, Florida | Subject: RE: Back in the game after surgery... Thanks, i was thinking about doing the 3-2-1 approach but did not think that running 6 days a week was a good move or not ??? i would start at 1 mile-2miles-3miles and go from there !! wish there was a pill i could take that would make me run a 9 min mile
