The last few days have been frustrating and stressful. Work has gotten into the way of my workouts on Friday and Monday. Luckily got a short one in on Saturday. I am also having even more "sensations" in the area of my stress fracture. I am very concerned it is not healing. Though it does not hurt because I am not doing any weight bearing exercises. In a few more weeks I will most likely get another bone scan then I will know for sure.
But I took out all those bad feelings on today's workout. I was not concerned as much with my effort, but more into distance and length of time. Got in 2 miles. Most I have ever done at one time. I did have a lot of twinges of cramping in my feet and calves. I really feel I could have done another 1/2 mile and maybe even a full mile. Cardio felt good all the way to the end and so did the arms. Alternating between free and breast every 100 yards helped the different muscles used get a short rest between the strokes.
3600 yards - 1hr 8 min 00 sec - alternate free and breast every 100 yards.
Check my watch with 100 breast to go, and saw 1:06:00.xx Decided to go all out and get a 2 min flat or faster to make an even 1:08. And I did just that !
