Well, after 3 weeks of no running, I finally have a diagnosis that I can count on. It looks like the tendons were stretched/strained and that I'll probably be out 4-6 weeks more. That's not too bad, as I've been able to stay in relatively could shape via the bike. However, the doc wants me to take it easy on the bike and I still haven't talked to the PT yet (that's on Wednesday).
The good news is that my bike fitness is about where it needs to be for IMC. I just need to maintain it somehow. Jill plans on doing easy rides and some VERY easy runs for the next couple of weeks. I'll need to think of other things do to along the way. In the meantime, I need to rest, ice and take ibruprofen.
I also get to work on my swimming a lot more...which really needs it. I think there will be about 3-4 weeks of consistent training on drills and laps, which is what I really need for a sub-1:08 swim. At this point, I can't imagine going under 1:10.
Well, off to PT land for a bit!
