Seven Miles

I cannot even believe that I can title a post “Seven Miles”. Today when I went to the YMCA, I had a goal of getting in seven miles on the elliptical. I knew that it was ambitious considering my workout yesterday of five miles on the elliptical. Normally I wouldn’t workout back to back on the elliptical but I knew that tomorrow (Thanksgiving), I wouldn’t have a gym available. So tomorrow it is a run on the schedule.con
When I got on the elliptical, I noticed that there was a rattle on the machine I was using. So after a half of mile, I jumped to the machine next to me. I really noticed that my legs were tired. They weren’t sore so I kept going. I seriously need to work on adding to my play list. When you are working out that long, you listen to the same songs over and over. Seven miles resulted in 544 calories burnt. Not too shabby.
Tonight I notice that I have noodles for legs. Well, maybe it isn’t that bad. I can feel this workout more than any other workout I have done since I signed up for the race.
It is funny what my mind wanders to while I am working out. If only my thoughts could be automatically posted to my site. I write some great things in my head when I am slaving away. I am working on a post that hopefully will get posted soon. (more laptop problems but that is another story)
I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Remember that it is only one day. Don’t ruin a hard week of work with one meal.
I am finalizing my plans for the contest.

You are an inspiration! I did my couch to 5K assignment today and was pretty proud of that, but I can’t even imagine that I’ll ever be at a point of 7 miles on the elliptical! I very much doubt I could do 7 minutes!!! ACK!
