Pool Running.

So, in the interest of both training for a marathon and letting my toe heal up (on which subject, by the way, I feel compelled to comment: Why does a strip of bone no bigger than one inch long take so long to repair itself?), I have decided to take to the pool and do a little running there. All of my favorite running websites have condoned this course of action as simply another form of running, a la the treadmill, and I was looking forward to giving it a try.

A word of advice regarding pool running: It ain't no JOKE!

I have learned not to expect to break any speed records in the pool. In fact, the act of running in water is akin to running amid molasses. But I'm working hard, and I'm certain I will see results when I hit the ground -- the hard, waterless ground -- running again next Tuesday. Stay tuned!
