Homework is piling up ridiculously, so I only did a 20-minute walk/run stint on the treadmill (ow, ow, my shins hurt) and 20 minutes on the elliptical tonight. Nothing remarkable other than the sad state of my shins at this point.

The half-hour on the elliptical did a good job of releasing some of the major kinks in my calves, but they’re still going to require some care and watching for a little while. The run was abortive because I wore my old running shoes (now used for general purpose wear and elliptical workouts) rather than my newer running shoes, and I was just three minutes into my run when it started to feel like flames were licking up my lower legs with each step.

I just did a “maintenance” workout of thirty minutes today because I’m getting behind in schoolwork.

I’m liking this late-night workout routine. After work last night, I got in an hour on the elliptical and 2 km (fitfully) on the rowing machine (burn, baby, burn). The SRC is nice and [fairly] empty, and I had enough energy to do homework for a couple more hours when I returned to my room. Tonight, I think I’ll do a little running…
