I had to go back to the elliptical.  My tendon was so sore from Friday and Monday. But I will persevere.  I'll walk/jog once or twice a week as I build up my ellpitical minutes from 30, 40 to 50 minutes (and so on).  I continue the stretching they taught me in PT.  I don't know how to read mileage on my elliptical.  The reading says I did 5,354 steps in 40 minutes (I used to only be able to do about 3,000 in 30).

40 minutes elliptical 5, 662 steps.  300 sit ups, 50 push ups, botsu ball, weights and stretching.  I've been recalling my training for Boston two years ago a lot this past week since it's coming up.  I did much of my winter training runs from work during the afternoons because it was just too cold and dark in the morning before work.  The whole Boston experience was a really good one for me.  I hated the winter training--but being with my friends there, taking my kids to Concord and Lexington, to Walden Pond, to Louisa May Allcott and Ralph Waldo Emmerson's graves, walking the red line, and then also running from Hopkington into  Broylston Ave with all those amazing Boston Marathon supporters--including my personalized message held by a few of Boston's finest police officers--then having one of my better marathon times...it all added up to an amazing experience.  It is something I can always look back on and be proud of having achieved. That folks is what I think about as I'm pumping and sweating away on my stupid elliptical while watching the last few episodes of Archer.

6,500 steps/57 minutes/9 resistance/2 incline .  I'm scared to go back to the treadmill-- the tendon is only just feeling normal after my attempt at 2 miles last Friday. But I'm going to try it again tomorrow, or Friday.
