Injury update....

Mostly still improving little by little each day. Was bummed out Sunday because it seemed I had taken a step backward but now I'm thinking it was just my lousy Sunday shoes. I've vowed to get some nicer shoes before the end of the week. I've seen Birkenstocks recommended, also my neighbor sells SAS shoes. If anyone reading has a suggestion let me know.

Went to the Sports Doc today to check on progress and make gameplan for next few weeks. Decided on the following:

- Try some easy biking, move on to more aggresive or eliptical in a week or 2 if things go well.

- Start some PT - ultrasound and mild foot massage moving on to more aggressive massage, stretches and strengthening.

- Do a 1 or 2 week round of steriodal anti-inflammatory - Prednisone I think.

I'm still hanging in there mentally, it will be nice to do some biking and remember how to sweat. Probably gained 2 pounds or so but that's within my 5 lbs or less goal. Looking forward to seeing how Kim does on Saturday.

Two pounds is nothing. I put that much on over a normal weekend while still exercising (then spend the rest of the week working it off).
