I felt better after heading to the local pool Tuesday night and doing 40 minutes of pool running. If you think watching paint dry is boring, try wearing a buoyancy vest and moving your legs like you are are running but barely going ANYWHERE while swimmers keep buzzing past you doing their laps in the pool. I go about 13-14 yards in 1 minute until my feet start touching in the shallow end and then I turn around and head back to the deep end... lather rinse and repeat about 20x.
I have to say though, its a great workout with absolutely no impact effects and because you have to pull your foot forward through the water you strengthen some muscles even more than normal running.
Yesterday morning I did 45 min on my bike on the rollers just spinning fast so that too was a good feeling though my knee did get a bit sore right at the end. If I have to get my knee repaired, I'm going to do everything I can to remain in top shape and have the best shot at still doing my AT run ON TIME! Either way, it will happen in 2009, even if I have to do it end-to-end solo during say September with no support.
