Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
7.000.007.00

Bike 10 miles in 33 minutes (3.3 running miles)

Elliptical 1 mile in 10 minutes (1 running mile)

Swim 32 laps (half mile) in 27 minutes (2.7 running miles)

I thought I would try the elliptical over the stair master to test my ankle.  It felt good, but I didn't want to push my luck.

Today, my 4 kids official ate 1 ton of food - I swear it!  30 minutes after breakfast, they were complaining of being hunger.  They ate HUGE adult sized portions of left over from last night, plus a fruit for lunch.  Then tonigh,t there was NOT a drop of food left.  They must be going through a grow spurt.  This "spurt" is going to cost me a fortune in food :)

NICE spin, ellip and swim today! 1/2 mile swim in 27 min. looks FAST to me. Sure you're not training for a TRI?!! :)

Cracks me up picturing your 4 little ones c/o hungry and cleaned house on the food budget. I hear ya on costing a fortune. I have 5 boys who are ALWAYS hungry. The fridge and cupboards are opened and emptied perpetually! :)

Smooth - 5 boys would require us to own a grocery store :) Because of all the cross training, I think I might try a mini sprint in April - just for kicks and giggles :)
