134th One 5/16/24

I hope you enjoy these. Leave a comment if you do. If you do, maybe I'll send you a gift or something.

I did another 60 minutes on the elliptical machine last night. Now, in my head I'm doing some great big exercise and climbing mountains but I dont think it's as much as I think. The machine's screen said I walked/ran 11.6 miles. What? There's no way I could walk or run 11.6 miles in one hour. If I were to stand up right now and do a slow jog 30 feet I would probably pass out from exhaustion. I wish I could run on a treadmill or even on the street but I get bad shin splints and my knees definitely feel the pain. That's why I chose the elliptical because it does not put too much pressure on my knees or shins. I'm not going to sacrifice my poor old bones because of some stupid challenge I made for myself that not alot of of people even know about and the ones that do know about it literally don't care. My family is happy I'm taking care of my body a little bit but that's about it. 

Sop to recap-the machine says I'm running/walking 11.6 miles in one hour. I say no way because if i jogged that far or even one tenth of that distance I would fall over. I'm doing my best. I've actually started to enjoy the beforehand stretching more than anything. I have a goal to be able to do the splits but I would be shocked if that ever happened. I did bend down and touch my toes without bending my legs-that's a huge deal to me. 

The Artwork-Well this one is a definite change of pace. I think it may be the last black and white one I did. It appears to be an eskimo bundled up for the winter time. I maybe should have drawn some snow but I don't know how so I didnt. I enjoyed drawing it and I hope you enjoy looking at it. 

Day 28 of the elliptical-Day 11 (out of 60) of 60 minutes straight on the elliptical. I did most of it on the second setting again last night.
