Looking back since my surgery in late 2013, things have been on a continual climb and I couldn't be happier. 2016 will close out as a year with many firsts and PR(s) for myself. I qualified and will run Boston (3:05:24) in April, finished my first 50 miler with a third place finish, qualified for Western States with my finish at the Pinhoti 100 miler and was the second year I logged nearly 2400 annual miles. With a little over a year of running before I turn 40, I have found that new problems have replaced the old, with sore and tight legs replacing the old fatigued set I had. I am not sure how long I will continue to set new PR(s) or add longer distances; however, I do know that this procedure allowed all of these past successes and future opportunities to be possible.
Best Wishes and Happy Running to All.
