I’m so excited! When I started on my quest, I was trying to reach 500<\/a> miles by the time I had my post-op assessment on November 4th. I succeeded at that. It took me 227 days to do it, but I did. Any miles after that was icing on the cake. It was then I decided to shoot for 1000 miles by the one-year anniversary of my surgery.<\/p>\n

\"1000
\n\"1000<\/p>\n

Could I reach 1000 miles by the first anniversary of my hip replacement surgery? I was sure going to try. I didn’t have as long to do it, but I already had 500 miles under my belt, so what was 500 more? I had 138 days to go, and if I walked 3.63 miles each day, I’d succeed.<\/p>\n

Since then, my average daily miles per day was 4.60, so I was exceeding the minimum requirement, so that would get me there in plenty of time.<\/p>\n

Drum roll and let the champagne corks pop! I did it! 1000 miles and with 30 days to spare!<\/p>\n

\"1000\"1000<\/p>\n
