Elliptical Wednesday!!!  After two good days of running I thought I'd give my hip a rest today.  Did an hour on the elliptical with intervals.  1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1 with one minute rest in between each.  Pretty much felt like a 45 minute tempo push.  Had the machine on level 10 and it said I went 8.5 miles which is a mile or two more than I usually get in an hour.  Then I stretched really well and lifted weights for 20 minutes (would have been 30 minutes but a very talkative guy chewed my ear off about his wife's lifetime of running since he could see that I was an avid runner and naturally would love to hear about every race report, injury, and training run of his wife, whom I've never met.)

And HERE is a pretty unique idea.  Looks kinda fun, actually.  It would definitely be more exciting than the stationary elliptical and you wouldn't get the saddle soreness of biking.

That thing is wild. It really does look fun. Especially if you can go fast like him.

I would love to see you on one of those. Did you get a lot of stares while you were kicking tail on your machine?
