after being runner/triathlete/cyclist and pretty generally fit ( that was over two and a half years ago), I found myself having to use two sticks to even get me out of the chair, thats before I had my hip resurfaced. tomorrow I'm returning to my job as a mobile service engineer after not being able to work. This last month I've pushed myself to my limit to see how the new implant likes me. walking 3 miles at six in a morning, cycling to the pool, swim a mile followed by a three hour workout at in the gym. I also climbed snowdon at the weekend. whats the outcome????? it's 100% brill. I've being give a new lease of life. if you ever come across anyone who needs this op its well worth having it done.0))))))))

Glad to hear they're looking after you at last - taken them long enough!! All ok Marty. Job going ok. Hard to believe I've been here 3 months already. Training's been a bit hit and miss thanks to yet more injuries (and continuation of the blister issue) but, that said, I managed to break a 7.5 year half marathon pb at Great Eastern Run. In a mad moment I signed up for Beachy Head so am off to Eastbourne on Friday. Could be interesting!!! Have entered FLM ballot but not fussed if I don't get in. Certainly won't go for a bond place. May do another spring mara to replace it if I don't get in. Am planning on doing Washington mara next October and I may (just may) have a go at an ultra. And if I can get my bum into gear to learn to ride a bike and swim properly I'd like to have a go at a tri.
