I actually did some exercise with running shoes on!  I went to the gym and did 30 mins eliptical followed by 20 min on the stationary bike.  Pain level was very low with my foot but increased slightly by the end of the eliptical workout.  No pain cycling.  After I got home and showered the pain in the foot was up to about a 5, but the good news is it was back down to about a 1 by morning.

Doone headed out for mutual and the kids and I headed to the pool. I planned on getting a good deep water running workout in, but about 10 minutes in, I decided to bag it and play with the kids. We played water basketball, dove for toys, raced, etc. I'm sure I burned a few calories so that will have to be my workout today.

I think I'll try the eliptical out again tomorrow.

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.

Did another pool run this morning.

30 mins alternating 4 hard with 2 easy.

I'll call it speed work.

My foot is a bit tender this morning, but I wouldn't call it pain. It is weird, but I'm almost afraid to run on it. I was in bed last night thinking about how great it will be to run Monday and in the back of my head I was almost cringing with pain at the thought of running. I guess my brain still remembers the pain I inflicted on myself a few weeks ago. I'm sure one good run will cure me of this though.
