3.09 miles on the elliptical, level 1 resistance, 45 minutes. I've been on ellipticals that when you put the ramp down to one it's flat, but the ones at my gym still have an incline at the lowest level. Hmm.

Same things I did on Tuesday, with some added weight on some machines. It's been a long eventful day and my brain can't pull up the numbers now. I felt great afterwards, though.

Walked the first Hill Topper 5K, 3.2 miles, 1 hour 7 minutes (hey, that's faster than I usually walk).

(enters, blows dust off)

So a couple of weeks ago I started exercising again. For the first week or so I just walked around my neighborhood, which can be challenging due to the combination of hills and brick/cobblestone sidewalks. I averaged a little over two miles a day. Last week I started back at the gym, though I still plan on keeping up the "urban hikes" on the weekends.

Cardio day on the elliptical:

45 minutes, 3.16 miles, crossramp level 3, resistance level 2
