You guessed it...time to get wet. At least the outdoor pool is open now; I took this photo last summer, but this is where I swam this morning. I swam for 45 min; I have really no idea how many laps I did because my counting was totally off. It's a 50m pool, so it's a very different feel than swimming in a 25yd pool. Slower, by far, because you don't get to push off as much, but very nice because you don't get interrupted so often. Plus I enjoyed being out in the sun and being able to see the mountains a bit with each breath. I did all freestyle except for 2 laps of breaststroke, just to mix things up. I didn't really try to go hard or do anything fancy; the Masters' workout was at 11:30 and we had brunch reservations at 1 pm in Midway, so I had to swim earlier. So it was a bit boring, perhaps, but it was very low key, which is what I needed.

i followed up the swim with a 35-min ride on the stationary bike, which is all I had time for. Wish I could have biked outside, as the weather was great, but again, no time. I amused myself by reading while biking; I still have to finish this month's book club book.

My foot is still sore today when walking (not racewalking, just walking). Not like yesterday; I don't think I'm limping much if any, but it's a tad sore. Interestingly, wearing heels is more comfortable. I read online that peroneal tendonitis feels better in shoes w/a heel lift. I took it seriously and wore high-heeled sandals to brunch; it felt better that way. Seems I have a culprit, then...but how long will this round take to heal? I had peroneal tendonitis on the other foot but on the medial side, where it attaches into the 1st metatarsal. On this foot, it's on the lateral side, where the tendon goes under the cuboid bone. I really hope it doesn't take months to heal like the other foot, but it's a different injury so maybe I'll get lucky. I massaged my calf with "the stick" and plan to take another day off RW.
