Day 255-13

Good day today. I’m still feeling the burn which either means I worked new muscle groups or I didn’t stretch well enough, or I just need a nice hour in a hot tub to loosen things up.

Tried the X-Train Reverse on the Elliptical today for 15 minutes at level 5. I was a little disappointed because I started going forward first (which maybe was wrong) and it wasn’t until 5 minutes that it had me switch directions. Then it switched back after 2 or 3 minutes it told me to switch back. But then, nothing. I finally switched back to going backwards at 12 minutes for 2 minutes and then one minute going forward again. I probably did that all backwards though. Maybe I’m supposed to start backward first. I’m not sure…does anyone know?

Anyway…Elliptical I burned 185 calories and went .99 miles. I avg’d 67 rpm’s going forward and 60 going backwards.

After that I moved to the treadmill because I realized I hadn’t run in awhile. 18 minutes total – well 15/3 – with an ending of 163 calories, 1.41 miles on a 1.0 incline and random speeds. It felt good to run again and I realized I’m really not doing well on breath support. I had noticed this last night singing, but I’m not sure how to work on that. Maybe running will help.

I get to see Keith tomorrow. YAY!
