50m jog warmup
2 x 5 x 2:00min at 120 step/min pace
4 x 15sec sprints at 140/min pace
1 min rest between
weights and absFoot feels a little better. I'm thinking I might be running on an eliptical in a week, grass by the end of the month. I can curl and extend my toes with no pain. I have been walking on it considerably but gingerly. Black and blue is almost gone. Sleep is the best healer. Taking Calcium and D-3, magnesium.
Weight is good. 142.5 after workout.
Sewanee had a lot of these Aqua-jogger belts. Must be a standard form of training.
Looks like your attitude is good, Bill, and your future is bright. Check out Nick Berra's blog, as he runs in the water as well.
ReplyDeleteI will be interested in the level you can reach about 14 months from now (national indoor masters in 2014 in Boston). In the early 1990s I sustained an avulsion fracture of the ankle, thanks to my stupidity.
I had been running on the road on a cold, snowy day and decided to go back to the path by the side of the road. I had forgotten about the little "artistic" curb that stood in the way. Down I went.
After that day I never ran a distance (in a meet or road race) under 3,000 meters, as the fracture just killed my sprinting. Even today I have a vertical lift of 0.0 inches from that side, good enough for road running but not the track.
You, in contrast, look like you will be back sprinting before long. What a contrast, but perhaps you are getting better treatment than I did. Good luck to you.
Nick just sent me a lengthy email about pool work. He has the access to an underwater treadmill.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this injury is as serious as the one you had, I expect I could be ready to race in 8 weeks.
Forgot to add that "Anonymous" at 3:24 PM came from your announcer, Peter T. Good luck to you, Bill. Pretend you're leading the 400 with 80 meters to go.
