Since I'm resting my right leg from a slight strain/ shin splints, I am cross training by riding the bike. This morning I went on a 25 + workout on the road. I'm definitely stronger at cycling than running! Heart rate stay below threshold, average 145 bpm, burned about 1000 calories. 

Right lower leg still sore but now more along the shin than the ankle, specially when I lean forward.

Complete rest today, no cycling, swimming, and definitely no running. Still recovering from the ankle strain; it feels more like shin splints now. I can run on it but I'm letting it rest for the time being. I'll continue cycling for now.

Went on 25 miler today with hills and wind, felt great! Could have done more but I didn't want push the ankle too much. We cooled down today, temperature was in the 80's and dry. Still recovering from shin splints on right leg. Felt better today! I continue icing it and taking ibuprofen, along with a vigorous stretch program and core workout. Enjoyed a nice protein shake after the ride to recover. Cycling really helps and is my strong event to begin with, I'm afraid I'd much rather ride than run!

BTW does anyone know how to get your cycling and swimming miles to add up like your running miles on the workout calendar?

Completed a hilly, hot, and windy ride. Continuing with my cycling routine while I recover from the shin splints on my right leg. The ankle actually feels better than it has in over a week. I plan to continue cycling and swimming all of the next week, re-introducing running very slowly.

Complete a 50 mile bike ride. excellent workout with the local triathlon club. I've been cycling now for three weeks as a way to strengthen my leg muscles to support and strengthen my ankle as well. I may just cycling!
