Unfortunately, the injury to my right leg is not going away (not getting worse, but not getting better, either) on less running/more cross-training, strengthening and stretching, so, for the first time since 2008 (surgery on January 2; wasn't running regularly again until July), I feel forced to take off several weeks from running.
I really want to run a fall marathon, but if I continue to run with an injury, I may not be able to. So, I figure I should take off the time now and let it heal properly. By the time it heals, I'll still have plenty of time to prepare for a marathon.
Biking doesn't seem to aggravate the leg, so I plan to do that four times per week (4 to 5 hours). My plan for the next several weeks (perhaps all of April):
Monday: Gym
Tuesday: Bike (1hr)
Wednesday: Gym
Thursday: Bike (1hr)
Friday: Gym
Saturday: Bike (1hr)
Sunday: Bike (2hrs)
I'd also like to do some hiking. Let's plan a hike!
