It was just another light day of running; that is, overall a 10k with 3.5 miles of this distance on the treadmill and the remaining 2.7 miles consisting of an evening jog around the neighborhood.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 (50 lbs) curls.

Hey Rossy,

Since I hurt my knee I've been following your exercise with the eliptical and non-running workouts. I've been using the eliptical and lifting weights a lot more. I forgot how sore my muscles can get with weight training. I used to lift a lot of weights but haven't done it much since I started running. Also I had never used the eliptical machine...WOW that thing can really give you a workout. I'm going to stick primarly to it for a while since it doesn't seem to irritate my knee as much. I'm telling you about 2 miles on the eliptical is a good workout!

Anyway...have a good weekend.

If you put those peas in the oatmeal, so help me Rossy, it's over between us.

Allie, yes it looks like we are going to luck out with the weather tomorrow. Best of luck with running a speedy 13.1 miles!

Preston, the elliptical is great to use when recovering, it will get old after awhile since at least for me it seems to be a lot more time consuming (i.e., it's tough for me to get in 7 miles in an hour). Someone told me it is much more time consuming for me since I'm so tall it forces me to take much shorter strides. This might be true. Anyway, good luck with the recovery!

Burt, it's not over between us, no peas in the oatmeal. I still don't like oatmeal; however, now I feel guilty if I don't record a healthy choice everyday on my blog.
