14 and 1,400

14 miles on the eliptical today. I went for an hour then got off and did some weights. My weights are not intense. I have had shoulder problems in the past so I am trying to do the same exercises that I had to do in the past for physical therapy. The next 1/2 hour on the machine I bumped it up from level 4 to level 5 and I also went faster and did 6.5 minute miles.

I hit 1,400 calories burned at the gym today. I'll work out tomorrow and then we'll find out if any of this is worth it. Once we have health insurance again I will be going in to get my cholesterol checked. I want to have my total cholesterol to hdl ratio be under 5. I know that the longer that I exercise the better this ratio will be.

If you have read this you know I am planning on doing the running portion of a relay triathlon. I hope to be in good enough shape to do an entire triathlon by the end of the summer. Good luck self! I hope to inspire Carley to do a 5k or 2 this year too.
