Workout in the Hydroworx pool this afternoon. Warmed up a bit, then did 4x5:00 pushes at 76% jets with 3:00 recovery at 54%, then a 2:00 push at 80% and a cooldown at 54% again. Actually got my heart rate up past 130 today. Going to the doc tomorrow!

Jogged for an hour in the Hydroworx pool. Afterwards, did some strengthening exercises for my left leg so I hopefully don't get quite so lopsided from only using my right for so long.

Talked to Doc Lyons about the foot. He had hoped that  the fracture was minimal enough that a couple weeks without weight bearing would take care of things. But he's pretty sure it's more severe and will behave more like your average broken bone and take ~ 8-12 weeks to heal. LAME! So in another week and a half (4 weeks after the initial injury), I'm going in to get x-rays to see how well it's progressing. Then hopefully I'll get better news. But for now, I've got some NSAIDS to take and more therapy stuff to do and more time walking around on my "silver legs." Ugh.

HydroWorx pool for 55 minutes today. 20 minutes easy, then 15 minutes at 60 minute effort, then 20 minutes easy again.

Afterwards the PT, Lori started my foot on treatments of some corticosteroid (dexamethasone, I think) through a method called iontophoresis. It sends the medication through the skin by the difference in ion concentration or something. I'll be doing treatments on alternating days for a total of 6 treatments, hopefully it'll help me heal faster!

Aqua-jogged in the HPER pool today (HW was being serviced) and did laps for an hour. It was cold in the pool. And it's freaking cold outside. Whee.

Went to the summit to aqua jog, but they didn't have belts or a deep area to do so. So I just swam for a half hour or so. I'd forgotten how much I hate swimming and that drowning feeling. Blah.

Had fun seeing people at the marathon though! Great job everybody!
