Fourteen days later...
I got off my butt and did DDR again.
Did I have complications from the last session? No. Did my foot actually heal any more since last time? No, not really. It's been about the same with slight daily variations. I think I've figured out the exact spot I might have a microfracture though.
No, all that happened for two weeks was I had the habit of not-doing DDR to fight. There were several times I thought of it, but much too late at night considering I'm in an apartment.
This past weekend I thought of it several times but I needed extra rest; the last week or two was grueling at work and stress cut into my sleep. However, things have been better this week and my energy was good today. Time to buckle down and get going. I've definitely felt that even walking in to work in the morning has left me a little out of breath so it's urgent I reverse the cardio fitness decline and drop some weight.
Tonight was 40 minutes of DDR X2. I turned jumps into single steps which vastly reduces the impact, but I did some 6-7 foot songs and that was a decent tradeoff. I got a good sweat going and my HR was in the 110-120 range most of the time.
