When Joice Barnard had a hip replacement just over a year ago, she couldn't imagine running again without pain, but she was determined to try.
Barnard, 67, has been running for 50 years, longer than some of her fellow marathoners have been alive.
Earlier this month, Barnard finished her ninth marathon, the Every Woman's Marathon organized by Team Milk in her hometown of Savannah, Georgia.
"For anybody, whether they're somebody with a hip replacement or they're 20 years old and they're very, very fast, it's so easy to run too many miles a week," Barnard said.
Get enough restEvery week, Barnard takes a full day off from any exercise more strenuous than walking to give her body a break.
