Monday July 12: Swimming and Exercises

Still trying to rest the Achilles, which are beginning to feel better, so I  swam this morning and attended the latter part of Plycore where I did some the exercises that I thought would not hurt my heel.  When they were doing things that I couldn't I did some rehab exercises and abs.  I think that this will be my approach for the next few weeks or until my heel improves to the point that I am pain free for an extended period of time.  On a side note, I am really enjoying my swimming I think that it will really reshape my workout.  I already feel more eager for my workout than I had been recently, so if there is a bright side of this injury, it's that it has give me a good reason to change up my workout.
