I ran today
Yes I know, I am being treated for a stress fracture.
Yes I know, I am having more pain in my ankle than from stress fracture.
Of course I noticed that it's 103* and 26% humidity. You may scoff at the humidity but considering the norm around here is 3%, thats a big increase.
I had a two hour walk planned and I did start out walking, for a mile. Then thought lets just see what happens. I ran three miles at 10:30 pace. I walked for a mile then did another 3 miles at 10:30 pace. My total pace time with the whole 9 miles was 12:30 per mile.
I have no illusions. This was not smart and I am not planning on running on a regular basis from here on out. This was just a test. A small step if you will to moving gback the shadow in my conscious mind that is doubting Florida.
Mission Accomplished. Time to rest.

Take it easy with that running! And if you just have to run, try using scheduled walk breaks. It's no time to be a running purist when you're injured or recovering from an injury.
Good luck!
The only thing harder than running is not running.
What does your PT say about this???
BE CAREFUL!
I kind of feel the same way. I had that shoulder muscle issue, except for the fact that it is not a fracture, so it healed faster. I tried it out the other day, and felt ok. I am still a bit sore, but I am taking it easy. I am still worried though, I have that race soon. Get better. We want you well for your IM race in November.

Brad has a good point. I hear that aqua running is a very good way to maintain and improve real running fitness. It's supposed to be boring as all hell, but it works!
