I know there’s a lot of more negative stories on this sub-Reddit, but I wanted to share a huge win for me. Four years ago, when I was only 23, I had a Lapidus procedure done on my right foot. Today, I ran my first post surgery half! I was a huge runner pre-surgery, and I was very nervous that I might not be able to run at all after. It while it took me a bit to get comfortable running (and I was being lazy lol) but I’m so happy with my results! Pre-surgery my foot would be in insurmountable pain after running, but now I’m only sore in “normal” spots.

So, if you’re young and nervous about getting such an intense surgery, please know that it can be okay :)

Edit: I meant a half marathon which is 13.1 miles or 20k
