It is getting harder and harder to resist the urge to run, but I have been able to do that so far. The plan still calls for water activities and walking only until next Monday. So today I ran for 35 minutes in the deep end of the pool. I inserted 7 times the 30-20-10 sequence that I have grown to like.  That workout provides a solid aerobic challenge and some serious leg work, especially in the quadriceps. Then I swam for 10 minutes as a recovery and cool down.  Then I enjoyed 15 minutes in the hot whirlpool.

Later in the evening Arlene and I went for a very comfortable two-mile walk around our neighborhood.

I continue to stretch and massage my lower legs and to roll my calves. Tomorrow we will be back to the weight room for core and upper-body and more water fun in the salt water pool.

Maybe  this unscheduled  break in my running routine will prove to be a benefit with the result of improving my overall body strength. It’s always good to think positive.
