The winter blast worked its magic and got me released from work three hours early yesterday and off all day today :) Silly and unneccessary - yes, but am I complaining - HECK NO!!! I slept in a little bit (about an extra hour) and then decided that it was about time that I stop using the cold as a pathetic excuse to not get off my couch. So, I went down and used the elitpical machine for 30 minutes plus a 5 minute cool down that I did backwards. I think I have finally gotten to the point at which excersise feels good :) I am still not a full blown athlete or anything, but I don't hurt and I feel more accomplished than I used to. Today I pushed myself to do 3 miles in 30 minutes. Jogging outside I average about 36 minutes for that distance. The eliptical is a different movement so I can usually go faster. I was pretty impressed with myself really - I kept my pace pretty steady and was able to speed up at the end as I needed. I didn't QUITE make the 30 minute goal, but was only 18 seconds over it so I am going to count it as a success anyways. :)
1st mile - 11:14 min
2nd mile - 21:24 min
3rd mile - 30:18 min
.34 mile - 35 min
