XT elliptical

Was actually a LSD day, but slept at 2 AM last night... or this morning, and woke at 7 Am. Felt groggy thru out the day till noon, when my 6yo insisted that I do the laundry because her favorite shorts were in it. Really, if i had no kids , I would spend my days in food and laziness induced stupor.
So got up to do the laundry and then woke up enough to get on the elliptical. Did it slow and steady, even tho Random program , still did not huff or puff today. One of those days when I just enjoyed the program on the t.v. and did not look at the numbers till the end of the session.
Will try to do the LSD tomorrow, surely!!12 miles...really!
