Veteran  324  Spokane, Washington |  Subject: Broken FootTuesday my 1200lb horse stepped on my foot and "crumbled" a little bit of the distal end of my fifth metatarsal. I'm now in an orthopedic shoe and have been instructed not to run for at least 4 weeks...I can't even switch back to regular shoes for at least three... Does anyone know if there is something I can be doing to work on my running in the meantime? Also, it lookslike it may interfere with my biking. I was wondering if it might be okay to use the elliptical...(I hate it, but it's something). Anyway, I would appreciate any ideas. |

Extreme Veteran 311 St. Albert | Subject: RE: Broken Foot Ouch!!! So sorry to hear about your foot  Is it possible to tape it and do some pool running. I have heard great things about pool running although I have never done it personally. Perhaps someone else here as done it and can offer some advice. |

Champion 7704   Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: Broken Foot You might be able to run in the pool. I'd lay low for the first week at least. Try the elliptical and see how it feels...I make it a policy to stay away from animals that weigh that much with little tiny brains...but thats just mee...beautiful animals...from a distance |
