not quite so bummin'

I got the go-ahead from the podiatrist to do pool running, so I gathered together all the links my running friends had sent me, went to the rec center (and discovered I still had 16 visits left on my 5-year-old "20-punch" pass [not literally punches; it's a magnetic scan card, but the name is left over from an earlier era] and although it had technically expired, the rec center kindly revalidated it for three more months, so yay), got a foam belt from the lifeguards, and embarked upon Adventures In Pool Running.

And to my surprise, it doesn't (so far) suck!

I'm not sure why. I hate treadmill running, and the stationary bike downstairs is torture. But I am finding pool running oddly enjoyable. At least for the moment. And it's certainly improved my mood, for which my husband is thankful.

Anyway, for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I wrote up a short info post about pool running and posted it to runners. If you are curious, check it out.

I saw that you were doing some sort of Pfitz workout and thought- now for xt or injury, that's a great resource. Glad to read that you are liking the workouts as well!
You'll be back on the road before you know it, but it sure is great to have something to keep us crazy runner folks from driving our husbands crazy in the meantime =D .
