is this realistic?

Hey ladies,
My TAH is scheduled next week. I'm planning on running a marathon the beginning of May. I know that healing and recovery are individual but do you think my goal is realistic. I am a goal driven woman and try to set myself up for success.......what do you think?

Yes, I think you can do it! Mine was last April and I'm not a very fit person but life is better than before! I'm just now starting to workout. Take it easy the first two months and then workout a gradual training to prepare yourself. If your doing a hyst, u can do anything!

Yes!! Definitely realistic!! Start slow and easy and you'll have that marathon finish for sure.

Check back in and let us know how it went after you do it! I am a runner and am sure I'll have to start back slowly but I hope by the spring I am feeling pretty good!

Listen to your body. If it tells you to stop or slow down I would listen. I waited a year before I did my marathon but it was also my first. I did a bunch of smaller races (5Ks to Halfs) but the toll my body took with my surgery wasn't ready for a full and all it's training. Listen to your doctor (my doc told me to wait a year also) and listen to your body. I just did the Chicago Marathon and loved it! I'm glad I waited. Good luck!!!
