Debra;

My great hope is to participate in the Senior Games in the sprint races, 400 meters or less. I don't think I am any good at the longer stuff. I never was. I did take a bronze in the 100 meters two years ago so I would like to get back to that. I have an advantage in that I am now in an older bracket and don't have to run against those 65 YO kids.:-)

I am walking without a cane but I keep it close for those first couple of steps.

I will check back with you when I hit my next home run in softball.

That is so inspiring. I am a 65 years young male and looking at a TKR this summer. My surgeon gave me an injection and said I have good range of motion in the knee even though I am bone on bone. No pain right now and working out in the gym and doing low impact P90X. My last 5k was in October wherer I placed 2nd in my age bracket with a sub 30 minute time. Since then I have put my running shoes on the shelf and hope for a comeback this time next year after surgery. Fingers crossed.
