Christmas 2010

First Race

I signed up for a 5K last month.....and this morning decided to do the 10K (6.2 miles)! I finished in 1 hour 18 minutes......and yes...I did finish last....but I FINISHED!!!! The most I had run until today was 5.6 miles. I still have a long way to go before the 1/2 marathon in Jan....but its a start..... I am blaming my last place status on the hill (ran up AND down it 4 times), running on grass and sand, running without my ipod.....and oh yeah....the fact that I had RPAO!!! My hips, knees and ankle are now soaking in the cryoderm..... :)

1/2 Marathon

So........I just registered for the Disney 1/2 marathon in January!!! I guess I need to start training....as I can only jog 3 miles right now!!

Keep it coming ladies!!!

I try to check the blog for comments - and my email for any new hip girls needing advice/support. I had many girls I followed through my process....and it is only right that I keep that going! I love getting new messages from people who have found my blog. We all have a special connection to each other :)

update for me: same as before......feeling wonderful!! still walking, jogging, dancing, wearing heels...... with no pain :)

And if I havent said this before ...."Dr Millis - you are THE MAN!!!" I will be forever grateful.....for giving me my life back....as a normal, active mom.......

Hip Girls

I met a fellow PAO Girly this weekend :) We have emailed, commented on blogs and chatted on FB.... She has a place about 5 minutes from me (small world) but lives north.... So great to meet and talk with a fellow PAO'er...... WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!!
I also have gotten several emails this past month....from girls looking into PAO. I know I have posted this before......but again - there is something about the age 28.......so many of us were diagnosed at that age (or close to it)....... has to be more than coincidence......
My intent for this blog was to hopefully help one person.......and am glad I keep getting emails from people who have found this.....and it has helped them......
Danielle - so great to meet you....and we WILL be having beers again soon!! :)
