30mins elliptical, 1hr of swimming. I tried the elliptical for a bit today, but it hurt. I don't want to subject my leg to this amount of force either (this was more of a "test" to see where my injury is - it still hurts). I also worked on core strength.

An "easy" hour of swimming/aquajogging (30mins freestyle, 30mins aquajogging).

An hour of aquajogging & 15 mins of freestyle swimming. I did a 25 yard "all out" sprint to see how fast I could go. I swam 17 secs. for the distance - very fast for me. Most of the time I struggle to stay afloat, much less swim with any speed or grace :). I did some core strength drills, too. I weighed myself for the first time since my injury (4-5 weeks ago), and I weigh 137 lbs. (I have gained nothing!).

An hour of aquajogging. I think this activity keeps me at least "primed" to begin running again (when my injury is healed). Obviously I will lose fitness, but I want to prepare myself to come back strong when I can run. I believe a lack of cross training would result in a longer, more drawn out introduction. I feel like I have forgotten how to run, too. It will feel weird to get back in the motions after a substancial detour, but I'm sure coordination will come back quickly.

*On another note - "NCAA Champ" - whew that sounds a little fast for me! Does this mean I have to win nationals? Otherwise, I don't know if I'm quite worthy of this title haha!

An hour of aquajogging today. I did a 20min warmup, 10mins at AT effort, 10 mins easy, 10mins AT effort and 10 more minutes easy. I was surprised at the the toughness of this workout - definitely made me work. I actually feel good for the first time in a month! This workout was decent! Who needs running when you can aquajog??? hah!

*My new pic is what I believe to be my stress fracture. This is location in which the doctors said the fracture was, but I had to make a logical guess as to the exact location (using Nick science) of the injury using the cd of the mri they gave me at the hospital. Someone correct my if I am completely wrong.
