I did 30 min of the stair master and that kicked my booty. It also kinda hurt my booty- where I've been hurting for the last 3 weeks. Maybe the stair master ain't such a good idear right now?

50 minutes of eliptical as well. I REALLY wish I could just bust out a long hard run. The stair master delivers quite a good sweat, but running is where my heart is.

I have been toying with the idea of not doing any cardio for a week and seeing if that helps me fully recover. I am even willing to do it for two weeks! If you know me you know this is a big deal that I am saying this. It would be super hard for me, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to heal all the way.

Then I came home and listened to this song. My husband taught me this little trick. When things seem like they suck or not going well, you just tell yourself it's all good. It works most of the time, I must say. :) Apparently he told himself this everyday while serving an LDS mission. ha!

the stair master definitely produces a lot of sweat. nice work.

i think taking a week off is a good idea, even though i know it will be hard for you. it really won't set you back much as far as fitness goes, and the body can benefit from a "hard reset" every now and then.

i like the song. you are fantastic!

I'm so sorry, Lily. If you do take a week off, I hope you can feel okay about it. And I hope your injury gets its butt kicked soon.

And I agree with Allie - you're fantastic!

I would consider that stairmaster equivalent to running....it is hard and always kicks my tail!

You are fantastic, but that song sucked.

Yeah that song isn't that great, but neither is your song Burt.
