a few weeks ago i tried out the new elliptical machines that appeared in my apartment complex’s exercise room, and i didn’t like it at all. it made my legs burn, and the stride just didn’t feel comfortable. i couldn’t figure out why people like them so much, and i was telling my sister about this when i visited atlanta. she said i should give it another try, because it takes a little while to get the hang out it.
so last night i didn’t feel like beating up on my shins, and it was too chilly to go swimming, and i don’t have a helmet nor did i want to bike in the dark…so i decided i’d do what katie suggested and try the elliptical machine again. and this time it was cool! and best of all, my shins don’t hurt. so i think i may be adding the elliptical machine to my repertoire to give me periodic breaks from running.
this week has been crazy, and it’s not letting up. sigh. tonight i have a yuri’s night meeting, and a late softball game. then i am living at gavin and jen’s house for the weekend to take care of three dogs while they go to colorado. and ron and buzz’s wedding is on saturday. and there are other plans for sunday. whew.
it is definitely a blah thursday. i’m ready for the weekend.
