Long Road Back

Its been a boring and somewhat painful 2 and a half months back from the ankle fracture.
After the first week i bought myself an exercise bike and used that daily with some core exercises.
Did this for about 6 weeks. Boring but at least I could watch TV and movies and then some olympic coverage.
The next stage involved water running and swimming at northbridge leisure centre. It pretty much doesnt get any more boring than this but I guess it does let you keep a certain amount of fitness.
The latest stage is alternating sessions on the treadmill with sessions in the pool. The treamill sessions were painful to begin with, but each week there is definate improvement, with 20km on sunday morning. I never thought a 44 min 10km could be such hard work.
