Walked 1 mile on the TM (whopping pace of 17 min) then 45 minutes on the bike. No tunes today so it was tough battling the boredom factor. No pains in the left foot while doing stuff other than a pain on the non-injured outside edge which I'm sure is a just a side effect of walking too much on the outside of my foot over the last 5 weeks as I've babied the injured area.

I'll stick with the walking/biking routine this week then mid-next-week Von is going to have me try some pool running.

Trying to decide if I should count walking miles or not? I haven't bothered with trying to figure out biking equivalent miles and logging anything besides the big goose egg since the injury.

Tom, have you tried biking outdoors on a road or mt bike. Much less boring [at least in my opinion]. I enjoy an hour on the bike but I think I would dread it on the stationary. Good luck with a speedy recovery. That pool running seems to work great for a lot of people.

This is a running blog, not a biking or walking blog. There are no equivalents to running except that you burn calories and stay in shape. If you don't run it is hard to be a good runner.

Keep up the good work on the recovery.
