Welcome

30 minutes on the elliptical at home. I wanted more but the kids weren't having it. Thinking about another session tonight.

Lunch

30 minutes on the stairmaster with 2.5 pound weights in each arm for the first 25 minutes. I got breathing pretty good but I truly hate cross so 30 was all I could muster. Also my left calf was uncomfortably tight so I didn't want to mess with that. Good times indeed.

I was told to try a 2-3 mile cruiser after five days of cortisone pills and some PT. Felt ok - minor pain at the hamstring attachment but nowhere else. I ran in front of a car and had to speed up and that threatened to aggravate the hip. 7:52 pace. On we go.

Lunch

60 minutes on the stairmaster with 2.5 weights. I feel like I need a head band and wrist bands to wipe the sweat. And spandex would work better than shorts.

I did arm reps in every direction every two minutes and that helped break up the monotony. With weights in hand and 5 floors per minute, my heart rate climbed into the 150s for the latter half of the workout until I cooled down at 55 minutes. Felt like a good workout. I'm gaining weight. I need to extend my workouts. It's still going to be a while before i can do any meaningful running.
