After surgery I was in a rish to rehab and get back at it. However I had to wait 12 weeks. For anyone who runs 3 months off kills your cardio and you just are not at the same place you were before. 2 weeks off is when your cardio starts diminishing- so you can imagine 3+ months. at the 12 week mark I began to start jogging (as that was all I was allowed). At this point it really sank in how much I had lost. I was huffing and puffing and my lungs killed. For someone who used to run 1/2 marathons this was depressing.
Fast forward to today- 6 months post op. I am now running up to 4 miles and getting my cardio back. My goal is a 1/2 in October. I will listen to my body in reaching that goal but i have hope it will happen.
My point is there will be obstacles and roadblocks but believe in yourself and keep going.
