Weekend

Well the one nice thing about having an injury is that you get to sleep in on the weekend! There's no pressure to wake up at 6:00 AM or earlier to get that long run in before it gets to hot! The gym doesn't open until 10 and the pool doesn't open until noon. On Saturday after a nice little lay in Dan and I went to the gym. It was the first time I've been to Helen Newman in a while. They have a new elliptical-like machine that's awesome! It simulates stair climbing or running. It really got my heart rate up and I felt like I got a much better work out on that than the normal elliptical.
On Sunday we spent the afternoon stuffing our faces at Leslie's house. It was great! Her house is right on the lake and the rain held off. When we got home I went up to the pool and ran for an hour. Today the physical therapist informed me that I should only be doing deep water running. So I have to go get a pool noddle and just do a running motion in the deep end. She said that if it didn't hurt to run in the shallow end it was ok, and so far it's been fine. But I really don't want to take my chances. My legs still hurt when I get up from sitting or first thing in the morning and it's uncomfortable to walk long distances. Going down stairs sucks. So basically I'm only 100% pain free when I'm sitting.
