Back on the stair climber, eh? How did your ankle feel?

Nice workout today.

From RAD on Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 19:42:19 from 67.172.229.125

So are miles on the stair climber measured in vertical miles? :) If so, you climbed a stairway to heaven today!

Nice workout, hopefully all is feeling well. You'll have to bring your book and join us at the Legacy Center spin class next week - it's loads of fun! :)

Very impressive workout!

I love your quote from yesterday; waiting for my husband to run long enough to "get" it.

From TBarlow on Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 22:17:48 from 216.194.124.36

Carolyn- not really back on the stair climber. I'm going to try once/twice a week and see how it goes. It is the closest "machine" workout to running.

RAD-I totally want to join you guys next weekend at the LLC. I'm afraid your going to kick my tail :)

Aunti-How is your garden?

From Smooth on Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 22:53:04 from 174.23.239.148

AWESOME workoutS today! I love that Nike poster quote yesterday!

From Teena Marie on Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 11:05:31 from 174.52.45.85

WOW!!! Check out that workout. 1 mile swim amongst everything else ...

Seriously -- so impressive!!!

From Kelli on Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 11:51:27 from 71.219.89.82

GREAT workout, you are tough in so many way. The rest of us only know how to run! I would drown in the pool.
