Sounds like a plan. Nice picture on your blog header.
Thanks! I'd been thinking about customizing a header, and that photo was a leftover I didn't use in my 11/15 post. I played around with cropping it different ways, and it seemed to work OK...
I like the picture!
have you tried crosstraining? it might help the knee heal faster without losing any fitness.
I do a little crosstraining, but running is my mainstay. Some weeks, I bicycle instead of taking a total rest day. I also do some combination of either light dumbbell or pushup workouts, and crunches every week.
If I severely cut back on running, I'll probably bicycle to maintain a reasonable level of conditioning. Biking is an all-weather substitute that I like; I can do neighborhood loops if the weather is decent, and if the weather is bad, I have a stationary bike indoors.
Last March, I was unable to run at all for over two weeks (could just barely walk) because of heel pain. It was right before a race I had scheduled. Using the bikes every day got me through until the pain was manageable, and the race went well. Since then, I got better shoes, and arch supports to help my overpronation, and my heel pain is virtually gone.
Thanks!!
