Went to the doctor today. Scans showed healing is progressing. It has been 95 days since my last run. He says a femur takes 6 to 8 months to heal properly. So at least 85 more days of no running to go.
Cut grass in the 92°f sun today for 2hr 45min. Then went to the pool. Everything felt good. But when I was done I had planned on 15 minutes of aqua jogging. But I was too drained at that point. I think I needed more fluids, even though I swallowed enough pool water.
While at the doctor's office I saw a flyer for a 1 mile open water swim across a local lake. I have never swam outside of a pool before. But I am going to try it. Unfortunately I will be going on vacation next week, then the race is the following week. I will miss several days of swimming, then get in a few before the race.
