Wow you have received some really great advice from everyone especially CJ and Doc, of course CJ is the man around here as far as I am concerned. The only thing I would add is that sometimes forced rest is not necessarily a bad thing, it allows for time to reflect on how we are training and better avoiding future injury. I blew my right shoulder out surfing two weeks ago but just completed a biathlon with a 1500 meter rough water swim this last Thursday. I just took it nice and slow and was gentle with myself and as a result feel good at the moment. Of course I am no spring chicken anymore (46). Finally I would concentrate on keeping your strides very short when you do return to running, keep your feet under your hips and work on increased cadence to better your times. I have discovered that truly amazing people are triathletes because the sport is so much more than running, cycling, and swimming. Due to the sports rigors and required commitment our character is tested and our virtues strengthened. One of the things we may run up against is our own lack of patience, we are get it done people and its tough when we can't follow through because of injury. Be patient my friend and heal. Good luck!
