Well, I did it. For those of you who don't know me (pretty much everybody except Paul), joining the gym is a big step for me. I wasn't even bored. Paul showed me some hip/leg weight machines, then I hit the elliptical for 20 minutes. I was surprised that I really enjoyed the elliptical. I was half expecting to not be able to support the weight of my body for that long on my left knee and right ankle (since I almost fell down when I got out of bed in the morning) and was pretty much set on the fact that I would be on the bike, but when I got on the elliptical it was awesome. I can't walk right now, but I can do 20 minutes on the elliptical like it's nothing. I'm not sure how elliptical miles convert to running miles, or I'm not actually sure that they do, but at least I'm getting some cardio in while I'm on a hiatus from running. |
