Elipticaling

Is that a word?  It's similar to bicycling. See, elipticaling / bicycling.
.
I started a few days ago. It's an older model elipical.  But it works, and a new one wouldn't get used any better or any more than this one. So I am happy with it.

This is me starting out this week.



I made .50 miles in 10.48 minutes.

That is a half mile in almost 11 minutes. That's good for my first day this year. Last summer I was walking the street at a fast pace and did 1 mile in 20 minutes. So my goal for this summer is a 3K somewhere. I know there is some smiling family members out there who wants to participate with me.

I will be up to 1 mile in 20 minutes in 1 week. Stay tuned.

  1. Wow, one mile in 20 minutes...you are really going! Now I feel challenged to click up my speed a bit. It's rainy here tonight so no outside walk...I'm going to see if I can increase my speed a bit on the eliptical! Thanks for the inspiration!

  2. I have one of those! I think? I'll have to take that layer of dust off of it to make sure! You've inspired me to start up again. I love walking but my knees have been bugging me and the eliptical is better. Good luck and keep up the good work! Have a great weekend!

  5. so you go girl! I just started back to water aerobics a week ago and felt really good about it. I have neglected myself for far too long. We used to do road races all the time and I miss that. Keep up the good work!
