What can an injured runner do for cross training? I can't do anything that will involve the ankle. No bending, no weight, no nothing. I have seen those hand bikes at some gyms but mine doesn't have one. I can't swim but was thinking that it would be great if I could somehow be suspended in the pool where I could use just my arms. I have one good leg but that doesn't do me much good either.
I've never tried this so if you're going to do this start very cautiously, but I think you might be able to use a rowing machine one-legged. put one foot on the foot rest and just rest the other foot on a cushion or something.
cheers.

You can. It's called water running/aqua jogging. Google the term, and go buy an Aqua Jogger Belt. Won't keep you in perfect shape, but better than nothing. Try to extend workouts by about 20-30% the time you'd normally run
