Huge Slacker

I have taken a lot of time off from training. I needed time to recover from the OCTRI and then I got sick. As much as I wanted to train while sick, I knew it wouldn't be wise. But on a good note, I have started my training again.

Sunday morning I went on a mountain bike ride with Carrie. We rode Peter's Canyon. It takes us less than an hour.

Monday I swam 88 laps. I discovered that the pool at my gym is 25 yards, not 25 meters, which means I have been measuring my distances incorrectly. 88 laps is 1-1/4 miles. I swam 88 laps in 39:05 minutes. Next, I ran one mile in 8:30 minutes. I ran so that my shin would swell up a little bit so when I went to my physical therapist appointment on Tuesday, I would be able to have something to show. 

Tuesday I went to my appointment. It went very well. I got my foot taped and she showed me some exercises to do. I seem to have lazy muscles so I have to re-learn how to walk on my left foot. Crazy! No running for a while, but I will survive.

Today I would like to bike. We will see.
