April 7th, Friday

Today I became resigned to the reality that I will have to get the major portion my work done in the water for at least another week or two. The strained muscle in my foot is healing very slowly and it makes no sense to run on the surface.  I just looked at my log I can last April and I am writing basically the same entries about a strained muscle in my foot. That time it took almost a month for the foot to completely heal which was exactly what the first doctor I went to told me it would take. So it’s lifting and water running for the foreseeable future.

Today I worked out in the fitness lab for 25 minutes lifting, lightly because it’s been a while. Then I ran in the water for 40 minutes. I decided to do 10 of the pick up series 30 -20 – 10. Now on the ground it would be 30 seconds at 5K pace, 20 seconds at 800-meter pace and 10 seconds all out.  In the water I count strides 60 – 35 – 25. Ten sets is the most I have ever done,  so I was pretty happy with today’s effort.  I finished with 15 minutes in the whirlpool mostly focusing on massaging the sore foot.
