30mins elliptical & 30 mins aqua jogging. I reached a HR of almost 190 on the elliptical! Actually, I shouldn't be too proud of this seeing as it may just reflect my lack of fitness. None the less, happy I am. I did 30mins in the pool, too, with one hard 10min interval. I have been juggling the soccer ball in my back yard a lot. I miss the sport a lot. I try to get out and kick the ball around as much as I can, but it seems that XC & Track dominate when the season is in. I like to call it "coordination maintenance."

30mins of the elliptical and 30mins aquajogging. I just talked to my trainer today, and it is t-minus one week for running. The plan is that I can run next Monday for 10 or 15 minutes. My leg feels great! I can push on my bone and I can barely feel anything! My soleus is doing good, too. I have been stretching and massaging it, but I think that running will help stretch it more. It will feel weird to fully "rely" on my leg when I get back again. I have heard that some people have trouble with the psychological aspect of returning to a normal stride since they have mentally adapted to compensation. I have to admit, although my leg doesn't hurt, it will be weird to fully count on it with every running step. I'm sure it's just a mental barrier that takes time to get over, though.

30mins elliptical & 30mins aquajogging. I burned 550 calories on the elliptical in 30mins - thats as much as I burn running! I am now in a competition to beat my previous days calorie burn number in 30mins. Ohhh the fun you can have with cross training. I did core strength including windshield wipers, bicycles, supermans and sitting cobras, too. Such fancy names for boring exercises. I am sooo dissapointed; Turkey lost to Germany today in the EuroCup. Boo...I like to see those smaller, less funded teams make it big in tournaments. They definitely gave Germany a fight, though.

45 mins on the elliptical and 30 mins aquajogging. I even ran 1/2 mile!!!!! (mileage board beware!) I was completely pain free, and I can even dig my fingers into the spot with no problem! Very exciting. Ever since I took that boot off, my leg extensively improved (on almost a daily basis). It seemed like it was in a holding pattern for five weeks or so, but then it made great improvement. I can feel all of the extra calcium deposit on my bone, too. It feels bumpy, but does not hurt. My soleus is feels great, too! It feels nice to finally walk/jog (and run soon!) without any discomfort!

Alright - I did 45 mins of the elliptical & 30 mins aquajogging (with a hard 10min interval while aquajogging). That elliptical kills me! I sweat like crazy, and my legs are pretty much shaking when I'm done (hmm..don't know how good that is). I ran another 1/2 mile! Very nice to run, regardless of the length. Soon my athletic trainer will let me run for 15 mins! I guess then I will get 3 miles in per day! Hah kidding...1.5 is a more probable number seeing as my current fitness level is unspectacular! Onward I press in the recovery process. The leg feels pain free!
