Subject: RE: To run or not to run I tried water running and it didn't seem to do much of anything besides bore me. Maybe I was doing it wrong. I still lost speed and fitness, but at least it gave me energy to focus on the bike for a while.
This is extremely frustrating, especially since my body isn't telling me to rest since nothing even hurts! The technician who did the bone scan said that a stress fracture will start to ache when it's healing, but I've felt nothing at all. I hope that doesn't mean it's not healing!
Maybe I'll just try to space out the 6 or 7 miles by adding some walking in the middle, then do the rest on the elliptical and walk on the treadmill at an incline. The doctor told me that I can do elliptical and walk as much as I want right now; it's the pounding of running that I have to ease into again.
