One week deep

Clint Verran | Profile
August 22, 2009

I am now one week post-op and things continue to progress well ahead of schedule. I am completely off crutches now and walking without a limp. I didn't have any bruising until yesterday. It seems that bleeding from my femoral head had finally sifted it's way thru the muscles and skin so that now I have a yellowish hue to some skin just adjacent to my portals. I've been commuting back and forth from home to my office on my cyclocross bike. I am anticipating returning to easy jogging in 2 weeks; 3 weeks post-op. I would like to get in the pool very soon as I think my incisons are stable now. My recovery so far has exceeded my wildest expectaions. I keep waiting for "setbacks" and just haven't seen it. I honestly feel better every day. My bike workouts have gotten more intense and I'm feeling as though my fitness is coming along nicely.

My motivation level is at an all-time high. I cannot wait wait to return to training with our Hanson-Brooks group and getting myself back in the game. I would like to PR one more time in the marathon and make another world team. Is that unrealistic?

Well Ahead Of Schedule?   September 10 at 8:18am
who's schedule? take the right time for yourself. get the balance right for yourself. my setbacks came with fighting cancers from 2000-2006. Since January 2007, I'm still progressing and had a big breakthough on Tuesday breaking 21 in a road 5K. My body still has parts to improve and so on....
I hope you do very well, and soon too. Thank you for teaching us about FAI.
Good luck.

Running 26.2 miles at darn near 12 miles an hour is unrealistic for any human being. But who cares! As long as you have passion for the sport and you want to do it, give it your very best shot! You're an example to all runners.

For somebody else it might be, but not for Clint Verran! I expect you to be at the 2012 and '16 Trials too.
