Arms were sore, but they loosened up as I went along. 2000 free, then a 500 of breast and free mix. Rode my bike to and from the pool.

What did the doctor say?

From Scott Zincone on Thu, Jul 26, 2007 at 16:46:41

He was encouraged, and so was I, about the scan showing it was healing. He said typically a fracture in the femur takes 6 to 8 months to heal properly. It has been 95 days since my last run. I go back for another scan in 3 months. He said I should not run until I feel no more "sensations."

So I am glad to know the healing process is proceeding, but bummed about no running for another 3 months. I was just beginning to see results from better training and dedication. But so far I have been able to apply it to my other workouts. I may have even lost a pound or two.

On a side note a saw a flyer at the doctor office for a 1 mile swim across lake gaston. i might try it. never swam outside of a pool before. kinda scary to be so far out if i get tired or get a cramp.

I look forward to reading your blogs as you get to work for st george and then the trials. should be some exciting times on the fast running blog.

Good news! So you're not running yet, at least you are healing. Heal then run. Did he clear you for biking? When you get cleared to go running it should be cooler. Now is a good time to be in the pool. It would really suck to have to swim all winter long.

You should be able to swim across Gaston. It is always easier to train when you have a goal.
