I headed to the gym ready for a good long hard eliptical workout and when I got there I realized I had forgotten my stuff to get ready for work after the workout, so I had to cut the workout a short so I could go back home to get ready for work.  Anyways, I did 30 minutes on the eliptical with no more then a 1 on the pain scale.  A few hours later here, my foot still feels good.  My wife has enrichment tonight, so I might take the kids back to the gym for some more eliptical work and then a nice fun swim with the kids before bed.

I am pretty sure that by Monday, my foot will be ready for its first running test. 

The kids reluctantly consented to go to the gym with me if we could swim afterwards. I did another 30 minutes eliptical at level 10 and as hard as I could go. I was trying to push off with my right foot as close as possible to running. Although I could feel it, it wasn't painful, more of a tender feeling. I kept eyeing the treadmills, but I resisted the temptation. I'll get back in the pool tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear how your foot feels on Monday after the test.

Have fun with the kidlets tonight.

You've got such a great attitude. Good luck Monday. (Don't you have to do guard duty for enrichment?)

No guard duty, the sisters around here are tougher than I am. :)

Nice elliptical workout X2. Have fun swimming with the kids. Sounds like the foot is healing. You're being so patient and dedicated!

I love the elliptical. Its a great workout. And no pain is great. Take it easy man on your run. If any pain I would head back to the elliptical. Nice and easy return.:)
