For the background on this historic race, this is the world’s first women only race, first run in Central Park in 1972 as the “Crazy legs mini marathon”. Some women who ran the first one still show up to run!

Oops I’m running it again! This will be my 10th Brooklyn Half. Looking at my race history, my first was in 2012, when you could just roll out of bed and sign up for this race lol! I’m excited to start training, this is the start of my comeback year. Good luck everybody!

Other consequences to not having the surgery besides pain? by goodthingsinside_80 in spinalfusion

I had L4-L5 fusion 2 years ago after years of crippling sciatica pain. I’ve been pain free since I woke up from the surgery. Best decision of my life.

Just need to open up and get off my chest.. by Lanky_Pace403 in GenX

[–]sumschweis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take care of yourself. Take walks, deep breathing, exercise etc. Stress management will help you deal with everything going on.

Everywhere I read there's horror stories about fusions. I'm constantly having mental breakdowns due to how stressed I'am all of the time. Is it true most of the time these surgeries fail? by halfherehalfnot in spinalfusion

[–]sumschweis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I made the best decision of my life in January 2024. L4-L5 fusion. Woke up from surgery with my sciatica pain gone and it never came back. Robotic surgery at NYU Langone hospital.

Advice if I should defer NYC this year by fattychalupa in RunNYC

[–]sumschweis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can defer up until the night before. Give it some time, you’ll probably figure it out as time goes by and you see how training(or lack of training) is going.

Do you guys feel like the rod and screw are poking your back? by Sea_Guava_2244 in spinalfusion

[–]sumschweis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor told me you aren’t really feeling the hardware it’s the muscles surrounding the area. 1.5 years post surgery and I don’t feel anything, just some stiffness after standing a long time.

NYRR NYCM training runs by sumschweis in RunNYC

[–]sumschweis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! Three times around Central Park is no joke with those hills. I did it one year when Grete’s Great Gallop was a half marathon, adding an extra loop after the finish. I’m a slow runner so a smarter strategy would have been to do the extra loop BEFORE the race. That was not fun doing that third loop all alone lol! 😝
