I met with Josse today to look over the ankle. She worked it over with her scraping tools and said it looks like I've got a little tendonitis in the ankle. It's not in the achilles' tendon, but a little more to the outside. In any case, I'm planning on doing some cross training in the next few days.
Today I went to the indoor Springville pool to do some laps. The thing is, I'm a terrible swimmer so I was a little nervous about trying to do a pool workout. When I was in Scouts I only passed the 100 yard swim test once, and it was more tiring than a mile race, if that gives you any idea how bad at swimming I am.
So I jumped in the pool and wore myself out in about one minute of regular swimming, but I discovered that I could lay on my back and kick like crazy and get a decent workout. I was even swinging my arms like I was running.... if only I'd had a video camera, this workout would be #1 on youtube for at least a month. My goal was to keep my heartrate close to my running HR (about 145), but I only managed about 135 bpm. Total time was 60:13, more than I have ever swam in my entire life. It was awesome. I think I'll count it somewhere around 6.5 to 7 miles of running. |
