Hamstring Injuries

Megan Searfoss

My name is Megan Searfoss and I am founder of Run Like a Mother and author of <em>See Mom Run-Every Mother's Guide to Getting Fit and Running Her First 5K.</em> I came to Dr. Kelly with a detached hamstring after competing at the Ironman World Championships and further injuring it at Ironman Lake Placid (my gearing broke and I rode 72 miles in one gear). Dr. Kelly immediately scheduled surgery knowing how important running is to my livelihood. Before my hamstring was detached, I competed in the 2013 Boston Marathon and I finished 10 minutes before the bomb went off. My surgery at HSS was in September 2013. The following April, I was able to run the 2014 Boston STRONG Marathon, less than 8 months post surgery. I was able to run/walk that marathon and be part of bringing the spirit back into Boston. Prior to HSS I was grossly misdiagnosed. With the help of Dr. Kelly and his team, I am back! Running is my life and Dr. Kelly helped extend it!
