here I'm gong to record my ellpitical work out in case I forget that for every time I have not blogged a run, it's due to an ellpitical work out.  Today's work out consisted of 60 minutes of 5 minute intervals  On the 4's and 9's (every 5 minutes) I  push incline to 4 (out of 12- got to be careful of the hamstring on the higher incline) and to 12-13 (out of 15) resistance trying to maintain 150-60 steps a minute.  This makes me sweat bullets and cry a little.  Then I'd recover for 1.5 minutes hanging onto the handles and trying to keep my feet moving at 2/7 until I can breath again.  Then I'll push it back up to 3/9 for the remaining 3.5 minutes until the next interval. It's a good work out.   It scares me and makes me sweat without hurting anything (except that vague pain in the hamstring that will always be there until I die).
