I took the kiddos to the gym daycare today while I swam.  I broke up my 1600 M into 350M segments  (the swim distance for a mini sprint).

1st 350 M - 9:49

2nd 350 M - 9:44

3rd 350 M - 9:40

200 M Recovery - 5:51

4th 350 M - 9:14

Total time 44:21

Felt great during the swim.  I was thinking about all the Boston runners - I'm totally jealous!  Can't wait to hear those reports!

Feeling a bit frustrated about my stress fracture in my ankle (since I should have been recovered at the end of March), I made an appointment with a podiatrist (last doc was a sports medicine specialist). 

They took a digital x-ray and it showed there were TWO stress fractures in my ankle.  Previous doctor told me only 1.  He said that biking was not a good choice of exercise - still stress on the ankle (so all the biking I was doing made it worse).  I'm down to swimming and pool running.

Plus, he put me in a boot for 4 weeks.  Oh well!  I'm hoping the boot will stabilize it enough, so it won't hurt. 

One day at a time!

On a positive note, I found this AWESOME website that sells jewelry for runners.  It is FANTASTIC!

I hope to get a pool run in sometime today!

My ankle feels SO great in the boot. Tomorrow my main goal is to get a good pool run in!

I was working on my 3 girls Easter dresses (yep, I'm totally behind) all day! I have one left to finish. But here is a picture of their Christmas dresses.....
