I saw the podiatrist today. Everything was going very well until she asked me to hop on my bad foot (barefoot on a hard floor). My heel was not happy. So, she said let's give it one more week, and then I can start walking. 15 minutes at first, on track or treadmill. Sigh.

Spent an hour helping to dis-assemble the displays at the Kaw Valley Quilt Show. Logging part of the time because it was unexpected that we would do it in the first place and it was harder than it looked at first.

Worked up a good sweat while jogging. Hamstring felt fine.
Back to Lawrence tomorrow for more house hunting. We have decided to only buy if we really want the house, and ignore the time pressure. If we have to, we can rent an apartment for a month or two.

I could tell I hadn't done this is a while--I got tired. Definitely slipping out of shape. Hamstring still felt funny once or twice, but the time off helped.

Felt a twinge or two in my heel this morning, so I decided to stay and visit with my parents (rather than walk a yellow course on a familiar map)

Event: West Point A-Meet
walk 30:00 1.4 km (21:26 / km) +140m 14:17 / km
Walk to the start of the West Point middle course. This just about wiped me out. I'm so out of shape. I had to stop several times on the uphills. When I got to the top, I sat and rested for 20 minutes.
orienteer 30:00 [3]
I walked part of the yellow course. I was tired, and I didn't want to over do it on my first day back on my feet. Still think I did too much; we'll see how my foot feels tomorrow.
Beautiful sunny day to spend sitting around watching O and talking to friends. Only bad part were the injuries, of course. Especially poor Kissy who really damaged her knee. Hope it's not as bad as you fear; get well soon.

They "progressed" me tonight at PT from stretching to strengthening exercises. Even rode the bike fro 3 minutes. Also, the knot in my calf appears to be diminishing, finally. Probably due to the orthodics?

Didn't know classes had started again at the pool, so I had to leave earlier than planned. Hamstring is acting up again, foot hurts for the first time in days, work sucks, Mike is spending the night in Lawrence, no one wants to buy our house, whine, whine, whine,.......

Thank goodness Peep season is over.
Although I still have my addictions. Just discovered that you can search Zappos for "removable insoles" shoes. Already ordered two pair...

Had the whole pool to myself today ---- not even a life guard.
Followed by another wonderful Eglinski family dinner (including cute Atticus, 2.5 years and beautiful Vivian,, 3.5 months).

I asked my physical therapist if I could start rowing again. I tried to demonstrate how my foot would flex, using my hand as a model. She wasn't getting it. Then I remembered my amazing iPhone. Pulled up a video from the Concept 2 page :) She said I could try it, but for no more than 5 minutes at first.
Felt weird, but didn't hurt. Just rusty, I guess. However, it was just enough to make my hamstring unhappy again, so I bagged my intended aquajoging fo tonight.

Note
Picked up my orthotics from the doctor today. Will start wearing them for one hour more each day. While I am glad that I am doing something to prevent future injury, it's still a bit depressing knowing I've added one more aid to keep my body going. Sigh.

I had planned to be in the water for an hour. But there was a kids classes off one diving board and a group of big teenagers doing cannonballs off the other diving board. It was hard to find enough room to move around. Plus, I tweaked my hamstring the other day, and it started to feel funny again, so I packed it in early.

saw the podiatrist today. Good news: I can start wearing the boot one hour less per day. One more week and it's gone. Then I start wearing the orthodics for one hour more per day. Follow up visit in three weeks. Jogging is at least 6 weeks away.
Good thing I signed up for Yellow at West Point.

I decided to try to find a pool today. So I went to the county YMCA, which allows residents 3 free passes per year. I thought it would be empty on a cold miserable day: not. Everyone who is afraid of the cold (or wanted the kids out of the house for a few hours) was there. Used whichever weight machine was available, in any order (as long as there was no weight put on the foot). Then I jogged in the lap lanes.
I miss my private ice rink and pool. On the other hand, there were lots of sights to distract me and make the time go faster, and the turbulent water helped raise my HR much higher than usual.

The pool is closed this weekend (so they can use it for a swim meet, those pesky HS kids, sheesh :) so I had to be creative in finding ways to train without too much weight on my feet.
I decided to go for a walk at PNS, partly because I really needed to get back to the woods, and I wanted to test how it would feel to walk without the boot. I did a brisk walk, but I think I should have stopped after 20 minutes. My arch is hurting now, although the heel is OK.
Then a shortened weight routine (no leg work).

We looked at few houses in Lawrence tonight. It will be harder to find a house we like in our limited search area (east of Iowa and south of 15th).
