76:00 on the elliptical glider this beautiful morning, I took the glider to places unknown today... I have never taken the calories counter pass 999, I for sure thought that my machine consel would blow-up,or something close to that. But it didn't it just turned back to zero and started over.

I was about 50 minutes in to the workout and I started to fade (attention wise) but then this song came of Journey, the classic 70's rock band and it just energized me... The song was "Anytime" and the album was "Captured". Now being 44 plus and being at the end of my rope, that song really got me going. You have to get the song and listen to it sometime because the last 2 minutes of that song is so fast, Steve Perry's voice is going 100 miles an hour and Niel Shoens guitar is keeping right up with his voice, a live audience, its just amazing. Now in your mind picture this, an old 44 year old man with long hair and that song blaring and my feet are rotating at 120 miles per hour on the RPM meter, sweat flying off hitting the walls, GOING NUTS!! It just doesn't get any better than that...

My average RPM was 95 to 110 so I really pushed it today. Get the Album that I talked about earlier, you can't go wrong.

See ya Monday.

Nice job putting in that much time on the elliptical. I remember putting in 2 hours on the elliptical once when I had my stress fractures. It certainly takes more mental toughness than running. As long as you keep your fitness up and your weight down, you are going to be fine when you come back in a few weeks.
