Nothing Much To Say

There's not a ton of new news to report.  This week I went swimming 2X and rode the stationary bike 2X.  I have some discomfort when riding the bike.  It feels like I have to get my foot kind of warmed up and then in a position where it doesn't cause any pain.  It's hard to pin down what I'm feeling.  The boot kind of desensitizes normal feeling. 

I'm finding that late in the day, from 4-5pm my foot starts to ache - especially on days where I have done a workout.  I'm managing this with lots of ice. 

Don't know if I would categorize these activities as real "workouts".  I'm getting my heart rate up and sweating, but not that much.  While spinning yesterday on the bike I was holding 150 watts which is about 55% of my threshold power.  The limiter here is pain - if I feel it coming on, I back off. 

We're heading to Oceanside to the beach for a a week so I'll be effectively out of commission without any workouts for 10 days.  Should provide some significant healing time for my foot.
