40 Minute Cross Training

I'm battling down a terrible cold which has now manifested itself with a nasty cough which kept me indoors all day today. I did manage to get myself up off the couch at 9PM and head over to the workout room since I knew tomorrow was a plane day all day.

I pushed myself for 30 minutes on the elliptical at a set pace. I completed 2.1 miles in 30 minutes and then went over to the treadmill and did a 1/2 mile in 10 minutes for a total of 40 minutes. I wish the pace on the treadmill could convert to pounding the pavement, but I'm pretty sure endurance is getting better. Watched SuperNanny throughout the workout -- we had a naughty step when I was a kid at 3213 -- but mom never made us stay as long as our years. I wonder what 48 minutes would be like on the naughty step now!

Headed back east for Big Red Softball this weekend and will connect with the DC Chapter of TNT. Plan to sneak my cousin in to run with us and am really looking forward to someone who will stay with me (despite the fact she could run right by). Also looking forward to seeing all the GGNrs on Friday night at Belva's.

Big Shout out to Dictor/Martin and Team who weighed in with a contribution to LLS. Just when I thought I had squeezed every last penny out of my mailing, in they came with a strong show of support. Thanks!
