50 minutes on the elliptical (names I'd like to call it are not appropriate for this blog). It wasn't too bad, really. This one was a new fangled one with a touch screen and I didn't like it. Give me the basic red LED lights that tell me the intensity that's coming up and how long I should expect the intensity to last. And let me set the level myself. This one I set the "average" level so it would adjust up or down based on the average. Bull! I want to know exactly what I'm doing and what to expect. Especially when I'm stationary. Grrr. Anyhow, I powered through for 50 minutes of it, even thought at times it felt like an eternity.

2X60 planks, some bicycles and toe touches; 3X10 curls, triceps; 5 pullups. 25 pushups this morning while waiting for the shower to get hot.

Good job getting some cardio done on the elliptical - I'm not a big fan of it either but I think it is the closest exercise to running when recovering. Do you feel almost ready to run?

Thanks Claudio for checking in and great timing! I ran today but hadn't logged it yet -just did. I'm not sure how to keep my miles in check while ramping back up but I'll play it by ear. It sure felt good to get some miles on the feet today.
