ReDbEaN 654 Posted January 3, 2014 750 yards swimming. Really was not feeling it. Fluff...I know you can relate to this since you swim regularly....but it hurt my broken toe to kick my feet in the freestyle. I could do side stroke and breast stroke with no pain. Those frog kicks didn't seem to bother me. Unfortunately I suck at breast stroke....and both of those strokes are more tiring to me so I did not get my full distance. I hope I can return to running in a couple of days. Meanwhile...here's a little piggy that is nicely swollen. OMG BUTTER!! And you still go on...you're my hero! 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fluffnomore 1,235 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Poor Butter. I can relate. I was thinking you might try to buddy tape that, but I'm not sure if it would work. Does your pool have swim fins? It might hurt like a b***h to put them on but they would probably support that toe. Even so, 750 m is completely respectable, especially doing uncomfortable strokes! Good for you. Maybe try taping across the foot, just to support it? Edited January 3, 2014 by Fluffnomore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJL 222 Posted January 3, 2014 Man, Butter, that looks painful! Does icing it help? Maybe taping the toes for support? 750 yards swimming. Really was not feeling it.

TJL 222 Posted January 3, 2014 OK, so I've still got bronchitis and a really nasty cough, however I made myself use the treadmill got in 4 miles before I felt like dying, couldn't make myself go to the gym(on the plus side we're having a huge snowstorm so I think they closed early anyhow) so MTD- 6 miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumorMe00 127 Posted January 3, 2014 My goal for January is 16 hours of exercise. I'm hoping to start c25k too, but that will depend on my back getting/staying healthy. 1 Bandista reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
