Trying to keep up with you

Flat run.  More difficult than usual probably due to the wind that seemed to wick all the moisture from my body.  Knees hurt more than usual...sign of an impending storm.  Ranks around a 3 out of 10.  I was due a mediocre run.

Av pace: 8:03

Bad news...It appears that I may have a stress facture on my right tibia.  Family doctor is pretty certain that that is the case.  Will be seeing a orthopedic doctor hopefully this week but I am hesitant to train much till I see the orthopedic doctor.  I'll probably do some time on the elyptical (?) trainer but avoid running for now.  THIS REALLY SUCKS!

These are cross-training miles and all my miles will be cross-training miles until the stress fracture is gone (hopefully no longer than a few weeks).  Trained on a elyptical trainer.  Once I got used to the initially akward movements it was O.K.  Managed to keep my heart rate up to my normal training zone.  No long runs for at least 4 weeks...I can just feel my fitness level slowly seeping away. 

Elliptical trainer - cross training miles.  No more pain in the right tibia but still have to get x-rays done. I glad at least with this injury I can continue exercising and not loose all the aerobic benefit gained in the past few months.  I'm optimistic that I'll be running again before Christmas. 

Elliptical trainer...cross-training miles.  Got in before the big game.  BYU WON!!! GO BIG BLUE!
