Boot Burning Party!

This is the day I have been looking forward to for a long time.  I admit that I kind of hung onto the boot a little longer than necessary...just in case I needed it.  But I realized after a week of freedom from it that I wouldn't be needing it any longer.  I hope I never have to see one of these again.

As a result of our great heritage in pyrotechnics my kids are all natural-born pyros.  I doused the boot with gas and then Jake and Nick simultaneously threw matches on it and "POOF" it was on fire!  A well-executed cremation I must say.  All that was left was a charred, dead carcass of melted plastic. 

Things are progressing, very slowly I might add, on the workout front.  But bottom line, it feels good to do something and know that even easy movement is contributing to the rehab process.

Summary of Workouts:
Swim - No issues with kicking except feeling a little drag and cadence/beat of my kick is off.  Doing two swim workouts per week right now. 
Bike - Still Road bike only, haven't tried out the new TT bike yet.  Keeping it around 60' per workout, although on Saturday Jenny and I went 75'.  Watts are around 50-55% of pre-injury FTP.  No standing, no hills, small chain ring only.  Yesterday I got a little aggressive and pushed the watts up around 61% effort and paid for it later.  Foot was pretty achy after that.
Walk - Up to a 17' walk.  Progressively increasing daily.  On or about Sept 19th I will attempt to run for 4' during a walking session.  Truth is, I'm terrified of running right now.  Before I do my first run I will get it pre-authorized by Dr. Van Boerum.
