Wahoo! I'm starting to get that whole exercise endorphines thing. I did my usual elliptical trainer this morning. I managed to stay in the high 150s low 160s the entire time (that's strides/min). I think this is the first time I hovered so high. Like I've managed high 140s low 150s but I crap out on the 150s pretty quickly. I am very pleased. My coworker Jessica and I have been doing this for the past 6 months. People claim they can tell I'm working out. I can't. In any event, I feel better. Now if I could only get up that damn hill! (I think I've mentioned it before but I live on top of a hill and the university I work at is at the bottom so there is this one hill I walk home most every day and by the time I get to the top I want to DIE... someday I will conquer it!) Ooh... and my calves are feeling better. I am making a much more conscious effort to stretch before and after the workout so that they stop cramping up all the time. Life is good!
I think I want to go to the zoo this weekend. Maybe if I clean in the morning, I'll reward myself and go. I like the zoo. I know, I'm 5. I'm also going to the grand opening of the over 100 million dollar library. Why, since I'm philosophically opposed to it, would I go one might wonder? Well since it is built, there's nothing I can do about it now. And there might be free food! :) Plus I've got books to return and since that is now my main library they have to go back there.

Good for you for sticking with the work out for six months. I am sure people can tell you have been working out. You just can't tell because the change has been gradual. I am sure I won't recognize you the next time I see you.
