Today on show we feature someone who has a story that we've never touched on before. At the age of 40, and after years of minor to medium hip and back pain, Carrie Bradshaw was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. That meant that this 3:09 marathoner and mother of two young kids would need two hip replacement surgeries. Wow! This was an incredible gut punch to a dedicated amateur athlete who craved activity of all kinds.

In this episode, Carrie details her athletic journey before and after the surgery, the rehab process, her ongoing return to racing, and words of encouragement for runners facing medical issues that they never saw coming.
