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:

-- went on and on about how destructive it is to the body, and said running ages you - that's a first, but runners do tend to have a "haggard" look about them. Still, if I could, I would run every other day, even though I absolutely love to swim.
LOL
I have to agree, but not sure how much is running induced and how much is life style. The group I ran with did a weekly 13 mile loop followed by breakfast. It wasn't long before some started out early to get extra miles in (they got up to 22-28 miles) then breakfast for some of them was Oatmeal and raises, only! or an egg white omelette with spinach (only):shakeshead:
I'm eating steak and three eggs with grits!:wine:
IMHO: too many runners suffer from OCD.
