Despite the fact that my post Pig self would scoff at my workout today, I found my RUN enjoyable.
I ran 2 miles in 18:27. (9’14″ pace)
To complete the workout, I biked 10.88 miles in 30 minutes at level 20 resistance on the StairMaster bike downstairs. Until at full strength (and maybe even afterwards), I will try supplementing my runs with bike activity.
I’m not so sure about the elliptical anymore. It’s a tougher workout, but it seems to be causing more stress than the bike or even the running. From now on, I’ll bike afterward as a “cool down” and see how that goes.
