Saturday - Instead of doing the 11 mile long run I had on tap, I did an hour on my bike. Not the same at all, but it is what it is.
Sunday - Rest. Lots of rest. I had a bit too much fun at the wedding on Saturday night, so physical activity was limited to the bare minimum today.
Monday - 45 minutes on the bike. Boring. Also pilates lower abs/butt, back & arms.
Tuesday - 42ish minutes of pilates cardio and abs today. I also started doing more therapy exercises for my posterior tibial tendon. Calf stretching, sole to sole touching, and theraband exercises detailed here. For review, the posterior tibial tendon is this:

| That red tendon is the one I injured. The bottom part and where it connects in the foot is usually what hurts the most. |
Wednesday - 50 minutes on the bike, and pilates leg day.
Thursday - 65 minutes on the bike with 10 one minute "sprints". This was kind of fun and nice to change things up instead of just pedaling away. I also did all the HIIT exercises on my Blogilates calendar, and man was it a workout! I burned 610 calories total for the day. Crazy!
Friday - Rest day? I'm actually kind of sore from my workouts yesterday, so I may just do some foam rolling and stretching today. Mayyyybe pilates.
What do you do for cross training? Have you dealt with tendinitis or another injury?
Sorry to see that your foot is still bothering you! Hope you are back to normal soon!
