So pumped to have set a huge 5k PR on the road to recovery from bilateral ankle reconstruction surgeries. 34:43, 11:11 min/mile pace...now within 3 mins of my pre-surgery PR with no run training. Swimming, cycling, and triathlon has helped me regain my fitness and far surpass my doctor's post surgery expectations...oh and saved my life too!!!
Absolutely wonderful day spending Thanksgiving morning running a 5k with my family. This is our tradition and it feels so great to participate again for the second year in a row after we took 2 years off for my ankle surgeries. I knew that I was going to set a good time based on how I felt right from the start line. Running felt effortless again, what an amazing feeling! I beat last year's time by over 2 minutes! I'm going to cherish this moment, because today, I felt as if I never had my ankles reconstructed, like the original Amanda, version 1.0.
I hope you have as wonderful of a Thanksgiving as I am having!
