Another good swim today.  I miss running.  By the time I can go again, it will be like starting from scratch.  And even though my running fitness will be down, my overall all fitness will not have suffered as much.

Spinning classes can be very good for keeping some of your fitness, can really get you heart rate going. I was off for three months one summer from running and did 3 hr excercise bike rides everyday. Its not the best, but you can keep some fitness. Have you read the sports medicine bible? Better than most doctors.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I will try and get a copy of the book. I have a bicycle and would love to ride it. But the doctor wants me to do not "weight bearing" exercises. He said this included the bike. I still have another 4 weeks before I see him again. Hopefully I will be cleared just as those HOT summer temperatures arrive.
