Elliptical again

I really wanted to swim again today, but my shoulders were a little tight and sore from their 16 week lay-off.  Instead I went back to the elliptical but I slowed it down and did more resistance instead.  Knee felt decent during but was agitated for a while afterward.  It feels better now.  I still did 3.35 miles with approx. 140 strides per min. instead of my usual 215 or so.  Overall felt good to get in some cardio.  Not as rigorous as I would like but I suppose it did the job and hopefully my knee appreciates the sacrifice.

4.1 Miles on Elliptical

Felt pretty good on the elliptical.  Nearly puked doing some strength reps afterward.  All I could think about was how embarassing it was going to be in front of everyone.  I managed to keep my cookies down and got the locker room.  After a good sit everything settled down.  It was a near miss.

Back on the Elliptical

It’s been 9 months probably since I’d been on the good old elliptical.  Since my knees got better and I started running this past winter, I haven’t really been on the elliptical.  I haven’t been running since I hurt my knee in Sept. so I figured it was high time I got some more intensive cardio.  It went well and the knee felt pretty good.  Off to get my MRI results.
