great NO PAIN! 6 mi

did 1 mile on the elliptical but quickly decided that was not for me this morning...so switched to stationary bike where i did 5 more...warming up for 5 sets of 100 each ab crunches and 20 laps in the pool. that's the most i have ever swam (swum?...whatever). the best part of the day was waking with absolutely no pain in my right foot. have been nursing a stress fracture in that bad boy for nearly three weeks. six treatments using a chinese herb concoction known as "the great mender" seems to have done the business. planning to RUN again on sunday. oh, happy day!

    @angela g i am following your advice and taking it very slow right now. have watched the TI dvd three times so ii have some idea where i am going...but have been just spending time in the water lately in order to get more comfortable in it before really kick in the training. thanks for your suggestions and support!
