Biking: I was on a biking kick today for some reason and went a bit faster than I have ususally been going. I managed to get in 22.25 miles in my hour today, still on level 10. This is a new biking 'PR'.

Injury: It's been 2.5 weeks since the injury and my foot has shown some noticeable improvement over the last week. I am now able to briefly stand on it or walk very short distances without pain. I think I might be able to walk in a couple more weeks. I have October 30th (8 weeks) penciled in as the day I can start running token mileage again. I may consider starting as early as October 16th (6 weeks) if all goes exceptionally well.

My fitness level has gone down somewhat since my injury and I am annoyed to find myself breathing a little harder than I am accostumed to when walking up stairs. I see this as unavoidable in my current state and think that considering this in great detail will only serve to deteriment my mental state and ability to make sound decisions. My weight has been ~142 over the last week, which is slightly lower than before I got hurt so I seem to be fine on that front. Last week it dipped down closer to 140 for a while and I don't think I want to let that happen either. I need to get more calcium so on Saturday once I get my car back I'm going to get some more Tums.
