Justin Duncklee: New Hip and New Hobby

The Adventure Jogger

Justin Duncklee had a run of bad luck. After taking some antibiotics, he nearly died after a one in a million reaction. After recovering from that he would start running, only to find out that his bodies reaction to the antibiotics also destroyed one of his hips, and at the age of 30 he had to get a hip replacement. Not sure he would ever be able to run again he slowly started ramping up his miles, and found a goal that at one point seemed impossible, a 50k trail race.
