REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS!
Well, today I put on my fracture shoe (see above), fired up Wii Fit, and did the "Short Run" routine one time. This took me three minutes to complete, which is fairly typical. I had no pain. Good sign.
I went to the local YMCA. They have an elevated indoor track that encircles the basketball court. Seventeen laps to the mile. I ran fifty-three laps, which is about 5K, in about 30 minutes. This is actually fairly quick for me. Once again, it was painless ... at least until the last few laps, when I started to develop a blister on my right heel. I should have worn socks, but the cool air circulating around my foot felt good. Oh well. I put some moleskin on my heel. It's still sore, but getting better. Hopefully, I'll develop a callous there.

Glad to hear you can still get running in despite the fracture. It sucks having to not run, esp for fear of getting hurt worse.
ouch! hope you heal fast! and 53 laps, oh my goodness that sounds tedious!
It was tedious! But the Run Under The Stars marathon in Paducah, KY was held on a half-mile horse track, so it just happened to be 53 laps also!
Hey, thanks for all the kind advice. I appreciate it! Here's to healed feet for us both...
Amen!
Sooooo what you're telling me is... you ran with a boot on????
Well, I'd call it a "shoe", but, yes, I've been running in it.
5K is one thing, 42K is another. I'm hoping to enter a 5K race in Ohio this weekend and see how it works on the road. I've got to make a decision about ID/MT soon!
And I thought I was crazy~
But Steph, you ARE crazy!
IM not running with a BOOT on my foot... although I must admit, if I were in the same situation I would probably do the same. DARN!
