On Sunday I finally went to bed around 4:15pm.  I had been awake for 24 1/2 hours.  So no workout.  Monday morning my body and mind just did not feel like going to the pool.  Since it would be too crowded in the afternoon and evening I decided to ride my bike again.  First I rode to my brother in law's house for dinner.  Then went for a longer ride afterwards. No problems with the leg during or after the ride.

When I got home and logged my ride I was VERY happy with some results.  My average pace per mile for this ride was my 7th fastest.  And it was a couple of miles further than the rides in front of it.  The pace on my ride last week was similiar to this one but I had not noticed.  So what does this mean?  Well I think it shows my overall cardio fitness has decreased very little, if not increased, during my injury.  I have only had a handful of rides since October 2006.  And for me to be able to ride with a greater effort for a longer amount of time is great news.  I go to the doctor tomorrow.  Hopefully he will allow me to ride with his consent.  Also he may allow elliptical training.  I really hope this bone is getter stronger and a reoccurrence is not in my future.  It will be as exciting as it will be difficult to get running again.

15.57 - 53:47 - stopped at 1.4 miles to eat dinner, then resumed.
