Went to the doctor today. He said the usual recovery time is three months for my injury.  So another thirty days.  He did schedule another bone scan so we will have something to look at when I go back.  A couple things I did not like though.  He said I am almost near the magic age of 40 and maybe I should consider alternate forms of exercise over running.  And this one was even better, "Remember, you are not a professional  athlete."  I can easily ignore these comments as long as he helps me heal up properly.

My daughter is home with me sick today.  Then I work evening shift.  No workout today.

Been at work for about 7 1/2 hours now and with the getting in and out of the car so often I can feel a dull pain in my thigh.  It is similiar to when I was running, but not as bad.  I cannot or either do not want to believe that three bike rides can set me back.  But the ache is there all the same.  I guess swimming only for another month.  But it did feel good to do an exercise that made me sweat and get out of the pool for awhile.  Of I can always push mow the lawn/weeds in the 90+ heat.
