The nice thing about working out in the afternoon/evening is that I can get a longer workout it (in the morning, I have to get home so my hubby can get off to work).

Stairclimber - 1.75 miles (ankle felt GREAT!! I am going to try 2-2.25 miles next time)

Elliptical - 1.75 miles (ankle still felt GREAT!!  Again, going to go longer next time)

Bike - 33 minutes (10 miles)

Swim - half mile swim 21 minutes ( I wore my watch in the water and timed myself - I was much faster than usual.  Hooray).

Nice big workout! How did the stairs treat you? They are tough huh?

I LOVE doing the stair climber. It is the closest "machine" workout I can get to running.

Another great one! How long until you can run on the ankle?

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 00:14:44 from 24.8.167.243

That's quite the multi-sport workout you've got going there.

From Smooth on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 01:20:13 from 174.23.198.220

WOW! You got your money's worth tonight at the gym! AWESOME BIG workouts! SO HAPPY to hear the ankle is feeling good!

NICE JOB!!!! I say once you are there and sweating you might as well mil it for all it is worth. If I did not have daycare restrictions, I would probably be there all morning reading a book on the bike or something!
