Better week than the last, and I pushed close to 100 miles.  Work is getting more and more demanding but I've been able to workout twice a day, although they are short workouts.  Missing running but my cycle is set up in front of my 22" TV w/DVD player so it takes my mind off being immobile.

Less miles this week on the bike but the workout on Wednesday morning smoked me.  I took my foot out of the boot because it was putting pressure on the wrong spots and making my foot throb all day.  I walked around all weekend without it and the pain went away, so it's in the back of my closet for now.  I've been taping my big toe down every morning and it's been helping, no pain throughout the day walking around in boots.

TOTAL BIKING -- 3:56:17 -- 60.06 miles

TOTAL RUNNING -- 2:12:09 -- 16.57 miles -- 140 elevation gain

Two workouts a day from M-F this week, felt great!  I took an entire month off of running and finally decided to head out for a few miles on Friday morning - felt really good, didn't lose stamina or endurance thanks to the biking, but the pain in my toe and foot is still there.  Very disappointing.  I have an MRI this coming Friday morning to help determine what the problem is.  It hasn't gotten any worse but it hasn't gone away either.  So, on Saturday I said screw it and ran 13 miles - I really missed running and I enjoyed the freedom, but the second half was annoying dealing with a nagging pain coming from my big toe.  To make the situation even worse, the foot doctor called me earlier in the week and said the machine he used to scan my feet for custom orthotics last week was broken and I need to go back for a re-scan, thus setting me back another two weeks until I could potentially run pain-free.  Silly technology.  I'm going to get back into running this week, but in the back of my mind I'm wondering whether or not my foot will be back in a boot or be getting sliced open by a surgeon in the coming weeks...
