Worked my arms only on the AirDyne for 15 minutes (3.1 miles). Then jumped in the pool. Used my leg more than the doctor would approve, but a lot less than when swimming normally. I am having to swim all freestyle to keep minimal "stress" on my leg. Doing only one stroke, arms only AirDyne, and pushups has made my arms sore and tired.

Swim - 1100 yards - 18:13:12

500 - 9:00:46

4x50 - 30 sec. rest in between - 41:10, 40:89, 40:51, 39:06

4x25 - 15 sec. rest in between - 17:50, 18:56, 17:91, 17:64

300 - 5:19:49

Update - May 10

Messed up when adding totals. Swam 1100 yards. The warmup was 500, not 400.

Weight: 0.00

It's admirable that you continue to blog through your recovery. May it be speedy! The last time my husband was injured he took the energy and passion that he had for running and turned it towards improving his diet. When he started running again, he had 20 less pounds to haul around, and he's now very strong, with no reocurrence of any injuries. Keep up the faith!

Oops. I only meant to send that once. My computer froze up.

Logging or blogging is the only way to tell where you are, where you have been, and where you are going in your training. Hopefully by this time next year I can look back to these times and know I made a full reecovery.

Watching my diet is something I just started to think about only in the past few days. I have gained about 4 pounds since I have stopped running or biking. I have terrible eating habits. I thank you for the advice and encouragment. And will try to eat a few less cookies.
