The Big Winner

Well, I've pretty much recovered from my Saturday long run. I still have some pain behind my right knee. It's a muscle type pain, so I'm not terribly worried about it.

Yesterday (Sunday) I did 35 minutes of elliptical. I could tell my body was not fully recovered...I felt a little weak. Even though I was sore the elliptical did not hurt much more than normal. I was glad to get a good workout without pain, but it also made me think a little. If doing elliptical is not hurting my muscles that are sore, it's also not training those muscles. So I'm not sure I'm getting full benefit from my elliptical workout. But the cardio aspect is good, and my body is not ready for running 6 days a week. So for now, I'll continue with the elliptical.

Tonight I'm going to shoot for a 4 mile run. I'm going to see if "The Boy" wants to run with me. It will slow me down a bit, but I think the bonding times are good.

Last Friday I mentioned that "The Wife" had won a sweepstakes. She won the grand prize in the Cinderella sweepstakes: a trip for 4 to Disneyworld! We're all pretty excited about it. It'd tell you when we're going, but I think posting the days we'll be on vacation might be an invitation to burglars. Anyway, we're looking forward to the trip!
