Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 My three year anniversary (for the first hip) is next week. I try to do something new for each anniversary. A week early, but tonight I walked Glendoveer golf course here in Portland. It is our local golf course with a fitness track around the outside of the course. Total walk was 2 miles. I tried Glendoveer once, many years pre-op, made it to the first turn (about 1/8 of a mile) and turned around and went home. I realize this is nothing for the runners or the more fit of you, but pre-op, I was barely able to walk to my next door neighbors house. In January, when I was determined to really start exercising, I barely made it to the 1/4 mile mark on the video ( Sansone walking video) before being ready to collapse. As usual, my lower back tried to go into spasms, and by the end my legs were starting to feel a little jelly-like, but I made it. I feel like I've had a good workout, and my legs will probably be sore tomorrow, but I HAVE NO PAIN!!!! How good is that??!!!!!! The third anniversary is coming up for the second hip the end of June. I will be in Tacoma that weekend at a handbell conference (an entire weekend of standing rehearsals, walking to classes, ringing concerts, etc), but am still trying to think of something new to try. Any ideas would be appreciated! Cindy C+ 5/25/01 and 6/28/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
