30 minutes on the elliptical after a pretty decent adjustment at the chiropractor.  I like to do the hill program because it varies.  I can't stand when things just stay the same.  I like the Planet Walk because there is varied scenery, whereas running through the neighborhood feels repetitive.

One of my co-workers tried to tell me that you can't get a very good workout on an elliptical.  I told him that my heart rate, which I kept between 160 and 180 today during my workout, said otherwise.  This from the guy who wants to run St. George next year and only runs on a treadmill and usually only 2 miles a day.  I mean, I'm running zero miles a day, but I'm not kidding myself into thinking I'm running a marathon next October.  I guess it's good to have goals, though, but I'll keep my goals realistic.

Tell him to join the blog and start logging his miles here... I'm sure there are a few runners that could bring a little reality into his life! Starting with the elite at your house (he, he!!!)

The elliptical always seemed like a good workout to me. I credit any cardio/lung capacity I have to it. Plus, it got rid of my "baby fat" once!

So, there. You are doing great.

How often do you head to the chiropractor?

Ignore the moron--elliptical is a great cardio workout!

Michelle--I've tried to get him to join the blog, but he just says, "I never go online."

Bethany--I have been seeing the chiro about every four weeks.
