SWIMMING and PT at the gym.  I think this was my first swim in at least 1.5 years.   Fortunately I haven't forgotten how to do flip turns and my rowing has kept my arms in decent enough shape that I didn't drown.  The best part about swimming is that I know I am not agitating injuries, most likely I am helping them, and the downside is that it takes forever to get anywhere and it's hard to keep track of my laps.

also, you get wet.

good job with the swimming -- that's not easy.

Shark suit?

no shark suit this time. That would be like running with a 30 lb backpack. I need to work up to it.

I want something that hangs on the wall that counts laps when I do my flip turns. But this might work.

or this if you're on a budget.

Fritz swimming has been my saving grace the last 4 months. I love it! But also ready to run again. But, at the same part I guess if I can take anything from this injury is that my double days of running are probably done and going to supplement the bike or the swim for my second workout. Good luck today at Canyonlands!
