After my workout last night my right glut was extremely tight so I rolled it out on the foam roller for a while and iced it. This morning it was still super tight and I didn't want to make it worse so I decided to cross train today. Went to the gym and my 18-month old was not feeling well and was super clingy when I left her in child care so I resolved to getting my workout done in one hour. Jumped on the elliptical and made every minute count. You can really get that thing whirling if you put some muscle into it. I bumped the level up to 14 and kept my heart rate around 140-150. It said I did 7.5 miles in an hour and I'm counting it. My arms and quads were throbbing when I got off. It may not have been a true "recovery" effort, but at least it didn't hurt my glut.

Use the stick on your glute. Just be careful not to [insert jr. high joke here.]

I'll bet you really had that elliptical flying.

Burt-I guess I'd better use the stick since you can't handle hearing about Aaron rubbing it out.

Carolyn-It sure felt like I was flying. But I'm not a pro ellipticaler or anything so for all I know my pace was pitifully slow. I took it a little easier on the elliptical today and it felt more recovery-ish.

Nan, you have an astounding vocabulary.

Thanks, Burt. My only hope is to some day be as smartish and vocabularific as you.
