I've heard that running in the deep end of the pool with a floatie belt is a great zero impact workout also, but I have never tried it. Maybe if you strengthened up your legs a bit on an elliptical or in the pool, and bought shoes from a specialty shop, you could still get out occasionally on a nice day without having to hobble for a week afterward. Sorry I'm not much help.

Turns out that I have been talking to a fellow RA here at work, and she is interested in getting out more, so were running together this afternoon after work. I'm going to do Marion's Freeze Fest 5K this Sat, never tried a Feb run before. It's on a trail that I usually run, so since I know the route, I am expecting it to be fun. Curious what my time will turn out to be. I'm shooting for under 29:00 minutes, not terribly fast. We'll see.
