x-no-archive:yes

If I were not to run for 3 or 4 days to allow my knee to heal, what
would be a good activity to keep my conditioning up? I have a heavy bag
at home and can hit it and get a pretty good workout. There is a
possibility of swimming too.

Trolling newsgroups

That's no way to talk about your wife

Could lead to jail time and an expensive divorce.

And the possibility of drowning, perhaps ?

If you have public pool around, sometimes they have those float belts
you can rent for a dollar or two. You can actually simulate running in
the pool with one of those around your waist, and get a pretty good
workout.
