Cross-training day

I still felt a bit weak this morning, but once I got going, things were fine. I did 20 min on the bike, 25 min on the elliptical, and then weight training. One-legged squats against wall w/ball on back/push-ups on ball; hip abduction on cybex machine/lat pull-downs; eccentric calf exercise/shoulder press while sitting on ball; PT balance exercises/easy RW on treadmill (just tried a minute or 2 to see how toe would feel; it was OK though not great); then lots of core: V-sits, crunches on ball, oblique exercise with 15 lb weight, leg lifts/isometric holds for lower abs, "ski" crunches for lower abs. Stretch. Ahhhhh. Done!

Toe is better today but still pretty tender. Hoping for enough improvement for a track workout tomorrow.
