27 miles on my Elliptigo.  Since it took 2.5 hours, I'm giving myself 11 running miles. My quads are burning.

22 hard miles on the Elliptigo along with a lot of uphills. Once the legs recover I need to get my run in.

Later - 2 miles with the dog.

Nine cold Elliptigo miles down to Salt Lake Running Company. Four miles before, during and after the 5K fun run.  Ran with Natalie Pope and then Lori Pope.  Nine not as cold Elliptigo miles home (but uphill a lot of the way). Three miles with the dog.
