I love the Tweets to follow your daily running progress. My husband is reading your book (Staying the Course) first, then me. He finished Boston (first) and we are thrilled!!! He loves the book. I am about 1 month later than you with my knee replacement (Zimmer) and I plan to run again as soon as my right quad is reasonably close to my left one. I can't wait!!! Forgot to ask you; what kind of a knee do you have? I have full extension and about 135 ROM now I think and am still pushing so that won't be an issue. Keep at the extension; at some point you'll need it Keep pushing on it.. etc when you do your quad stretches to get more ROM.Stephani Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178532517969068560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946355316493903353.post-55703634563761820762009-04-21T11:50:00.000-05:002009-04-21T11:50:00.000-05:00Jill: Thanks, already looking forward to 2010 S...Jill: Thanks, already looking forward to 2010 Space Coast Marathon.

But there are people running on artificial knees in addition to Dick. Good luck to Anonymous - run someplace where they can't see you. It seems to me that the main objection was that the artificial would wear out sooner and need redoing. Since I have prostate problems and recent forehead melanoma - cancer at both ends, trying to keep them from meeting in the middle - that is not a big concern for me as I ponder knee replacement. Hoping Dick will keep us informed and that he will yet come to our Space Coast Marathon here in Cocoa, FL.Joe Rubinfinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946355316493903353.post-14306722883016780732009-04-09T19:13:00.000-05:002009-04-09T19:13:00.000-05:00Hi, Dick!

Any suggestions on how to get a relatively balanced, objective perspective on this? Giving up running entirely is pretty extreme.<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
