60 Minutes on the elliptical trainer, a little faster than normal trying to keep my HR at 140. Then I did something I've never done before, the rowing machine, can't say it's my favorite cross training machine, 6400 meters in 30 minutes, I'll have to check Fritz's blog to see if that's good or not, my shoulders are going to be sore tomorrow.

I can run faster than that so given a choice between rowing somewhere or running I pick running, unless I have a stress fracture, or I'm going to an island. Plus, what kind of sport do you go backwards to go forward? Seems odd!

It's a bummer I can't run, the weather has been great up here in Wyoming and I have a whole lot of spare time. I've been taking lots of naps.

I would definitely choose running over rowing, although you do get a better workout for your arms with the rowing!

Bummer you can't run, but nap is a good alternative! Have fun in Wyoming - enjoy relaxing. Happy holidays.

I've thought about the rowing machine myself! Something I may be able to do in these next 6 weeks. Sorry about the lack of running, but a week off is better than a stress fracture, right? Maybe take the rowing machine outside :)

Thanks Andrea, when do you guys come back? I was going to ask if there is a Saturday group run but Jake just answered that.

Rachel, maybe I can start rowing the Jordan River, and wave to the runners on the trail.
