Day number 11; Did the early run today by default. Got up at 0530 and hit the elliptical at 0603. Went at little to no resistance for first 20, then kicked it up to a resistance of 2.0 and alternated with various position/movement through 60 mins. Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Day number 10; Not terribly stressful, just a nice long workout on the elliptical again. Really great on the knee. Set it at a resistance of 2.0; I did go up to 4.0 for a very very short period but when back down quite soon thereafter. Body does feel good tho already a long slog. Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Day number 8; Pretty good workout on the elliptical today. I just set it at resistance of 4.0 and plugged away at a roughly 70-step per minute pace.
