now since I Cant run ( forced not my choice ) ive been doin others things

i did 2 and a half hours on the elliptical to compensate the cardio and affect of running ( it works plus it wont strain my muscle plus when i start really running it will be easy since the elliptical works the same muscle ) :)

then as friends and family told me i should hike ( even though ill be alot slower bc ill be basically working on my left leg but it is still worth it)

lifting weights and abdominals ( crunches sit ups , etc. ) so i can gain more arm muscle so when i get back into runnin ill have more upper body strength

i wont let this cast bring me down , make me lazy ( no excuse ) nor let it get the best of me

instead im going to learn from it and that is never take things for granted, LISTEN to your BODY! , anythin can happen and it only takes a second to change your life completely ( trust me it happened to me in other aspects too ) , take the time to learn new things about ur self ( different exercise ) , compensate ( elliptical hey it is sooo much better then nothin as of now )

and not to over do it

well im off im going to work and im feelin better mb if i remain optimistic and heal properly i can get back into runnin in 3 weeks :) :) ( last time i healed very fast the doctor was surprise he said a month ad it only took 2 weeks and i was using the elliptical so :) )

cant wait and i want to thank the site and everyone for inspiration and supports

were all runners here ( no matter how far , fast , or much ) it is about gettin out there and doin it . and if our running comes to a halt ( due to injury or illness) it will not stop our runnin completely
