55 minutes on elliptical. Did simulated 3-mile tempo run in the middle and really pushed it at the end to see how high I could get my HR.

Elliptical is very boring but legs feel really good, no aches and pains even when going all-out. Running is not boring but painful and feels worse as the run progresses, even at slow speeds. Probably should stick with elliptical.

Ave/Max HR: 162/193

50 minutes on elliptical with simulated 1/2 mile intervals (6 of them) every 4 minutes just to keep things from being too boring. Felt really good at the end.

Ave/Max HR 164/192

2 miles on treadmill, 65 minutes on elliptical. Elliptical feels good, running just fair.

3 miles very slowly on JR parkway with Kim. IT band gave Kim trouble after about a mile, I can feel the ab/groin/glute pains but each run I do seems to feel a little better than the last.
