Swimming! January 3rd

One of the best crosstraining exercises and things to do when you are injured is to swim. So just call me a fish...or a dolphin..or whatever. I did a back and bi workout and then hopped into the pool. Running 18 miles is way easier than swimming to me! I swam 550 meters on my first outing. I'm hoping to do 750 tonight.

One of the trainers at the gym is going to meet with me tonight and go over some exercises I can do to strengthen my knees and legs. He has trained marathon runners and triathletes so hopefully he can give me some good advice. We're treating this as an IT band injury until I get to the doctor, since that is what things seem to point to.
