Well, here I am in week 5 of injury recovery from a femoral (femur) stress fracture, and thought I would share some more random thoughts….
- As much as I despise doing the stationary bike, elliptical machine, and aqua jogging, it has been a whole lot better since I was released to do the elliptical. All of them are still monotonous, but being able to alternate between three, instead of two, has been much better.
- I’ve mentioned before that since my injury I’ve been reading novels like crazy. Well I had completed one in the entire year leading up to the stress fracture, and am now about to finish number 10 since then (5 1/2 weeks).
- I’m sorry that I’ve not commented more on the posts of others during the injury. Reading about running has been very hard while I’ve been on the bench, but I really do want to read all about everyone’s races this weekend, especially @Davidsgoals who is doing his first marathon in Chicago!!!
P.S.
- Almost Forgot….I’M BAAAAAAAACK!! Got the clearance from my doctor this morning. Plan to resume the “Quest for Boston” later tonight. Will be a slow process getting back up to my regular mileage, but I can’t wait to hit the road. Thanks to everyone for their support throughout this process. I appreciate it!
