Let's just add to my misery having to swim indoors after a glorious summer of outdoor swimming--I walked into a box the first day of my vacation and fractured a bone under the baby toe. It hurt to do breaststroke and backstroke kicks but not that bad--fins actually helped stabilize my foot. I can't run (also run and play tennis) or walk or play tennis, or use stairmaster. Any one have this problem? Did you/would you continue to swim? I don't want to prolong the healing process but I WILL JUST LOSE IT if I can't even swim.:cry:

LOL, we don't want to rile these veteran swimmers here -- for sure I love swimming and it wins hands down as far as a much better workout for the entire body :bow:. But, I had the best legs around when I ran, but everything else needed work. Now the legs aren't hard as rock, but I'm in a lot less pain (except for this stupid fracture). I did spin class last night and am elated that I was able to get my heart rate to 85% with no pain and I feel good today--a very good sign. But there's always that nagging temptation to get out a run...........
Hey, nothing wrong with bigger shoulders.......
Why Run when you can take the car to the pool?
I'll take a swimmer's build over a runner's "Skeletor weaing Nikes, and a number vest" look.
