Hey guys and gals.

Yes, it was a dreaded fracture of the 3rd metatarsal which has more than likely put my outdoor track season to an end.
I have had a cast on for 3 and a half weeks and am now in a hard shoe, I guess that is the only way to describe it.

My question or query is how long until I can get running again? From varying sources I have heard 6 weeks non-running/much weight bearing and then begin again on a day on/day off basis.

Has anyone had something similar and what is the dealio with aqua jogging in deep water? I would like to at least try to maintain fitness. I was at a high level of fitness prior to injury so if anyone has any advice on how I can safely mantain it, I would appreciate the socks off it.

Thanks folks.
