Ta-da!
So, today I did my long quasi-run for the week. Actually, for last week. I planned on doing 12 "miles" on the elliptical. "They" say that the elliptical is just as good for you as running. But, I don't believe it. Running seems harder.
I did 9 miles on the elliptical in 86 minutes. Then I ran 1 mile on the treadmill which took me 10 minutes or so. ....In my brand new kicks. I am certain that 96 minutes is the longest I've Ever done cardio indoors. So all in all, I did 10 miles. I had planned on doing 12. But honestly, I was just *Tired.* Even as I got off the elliptical and onto the treadmill, I planned on doing 2 miles on the treadmill. But half a mile in, I was begging to be done. So I let myself quit at 10. And I was so completely exhausted once I finally got home, I had a lovely bowl of cereal for dinner. Ain't no shame in it.
Nothing better than new running shoes! We should purchase these more often;).
ReplyDeleteI to-tally agree with you about the elliptical...just seems like it would take twice as long to feel as good as running outdoors. I wonder why that is?
Love!
Now, now. I didn't say Anything about running outside feeling "good." I said it was harder! Ahh, I wish I loved running like that 5-miler in 38 minute 'not-so-great' runner you are! I need a "runner's high" gene implant! Oh, Doctor??
