Body Comp 176.0 lbs 17% to 10% BF.  Felt pretty good today. I haven’t been taking much Ibuprofen cause unless I run or hop I really don’t feel any pain.  I take this as a good sign.  I still haven’t heard for the sports med DR. but I will probably call him by day’s end.  Today I went with Suzanne to the spinning class with Trish.  I think it was my best effort ever.  I must be improving my strength or my overall cardio must be down enough to let me hit higher thresholds.  I am thinking it is most likely improving strength but only time will tell.  I think all the cross training is making my overall body feel much healthier and increasing my energy level

 

Biked 50:14 HR 163/179.  I think that is a record for the class on both average and the high, but certainly for the average.  Then I stretched, did the roller and some lifting.  HR 119/157 for 30:21.  Felt fine on the way out like I could have gone for a lot longer.

"...Any way he told me that I have two stress fractures and some inflammation. He told me that would most likely mean no running until the end of Feb. and then easing back into it."

Matt, It's almost the end of Feb. How are you healing up?

Fly,

Well I have been feeling really great Dr. said I could start running 2nd Monday in March. I have been doing lots of biking and started the ellipitcal two weeks ago. However, Saturday I took a major step backwards when I hurt myself skiing today is my first day off the crutches. I think it should reslove itself pretty quick though. I think I just pinched a nerve and in the x ray I couldn't see a break.

When it rains it pours. But as far as the stress fracture is concerned I have felt no pain for the last month. The plan is to start slow and to do more cross traing but I will see how it goes.

Hope, things get back to normal soon.
