I am starting to have a love / hate relationship with the elliptical machine. In an effort to keep up my "mileage", now that I have been cleared to do everything but run, I have been spending a lot of quality time on the elliptical to simulate running.
I am headed to the PT tomorrow morning for another session and I am hopeful that he sees improvement in my leg ... but the real test will come when I get to go for my first test run, hopefully Saturday.
In the mean time, I will be spending a lot more quality time on the elliptical machine. Fun, fun, fun! I will never complain about a long run again ...
Mileage for Week Ending 1/3/2010(!)
Swim: 2200 yards in 1:00 -- toughest, slowest swim I have had in a long time! Serves me right for skipping the pool for 3 weeks.
Bike: 12 miles in 0:45
Run: 0 miles in 0:00
Elliptical: 5:00
Total Active Time: 6:45
Stretching / Foam Roller / Push Ups / Core: 0:50

Nice job on the stretching!! Have you thought about aqua-jogging instead of elliptical?
You've got me beat. I haven't been in water since PC. My plan for St G is to strap a harness on Arnie.
I just have a hate relationship with the elliptical machine which has made my latest running injury a rough one to deal with. Best of luck to you!
Hang in there! I'm a fan of the aqua-jogging too!
Think about just swimming instead of hitting the elliptical if your schedule will allow it. If you are having trouble swimming with your leg, don't kick!
hang in there ! .. have you thought about deep water running?
