Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

I think its 4.5 miles, it was 45 min. on the eliptical and i burned 680 calories. So, my question is what does that mean? Bc if im going by time it would be 4.5 miles, but if im going by calories burned it would be 6 miles or so. Maybe its equal to 4.5 miles at an incline? Probably that one.  Anyway, just signed up for a 5K in Draper on May 16th. Its called signs on the trail, its for deaf kids which is awesome! I love running for a cause, especially that one since my bros deaf.  Also just found out my pregnant running friend is having her 5th girl!!! aaahhh HORMONES in the Haddock home!! Not to mention paying for 5 weddings, ouch. But its all good, everything is healthy so thats all that matters.

Nice workout today. I've never tried an eliptical. 10 mins. per mile is the conversion I've seen other bloggers use for several different crosstraining activities.

The ellipticals at the gym where I work out actually have miles on them. But I think I go way farther on an elliptical in 40 minutes than I do running, and it is definitely not the same movement. I would go with TIME=MILES.

Congrats to your friend!! 5 girls is crazy, POOR DAD. All of the hormones at that house will be fun. But nothing beats a dad and his daughter, I tell ya! NOTHING.

Have a great evening.
