I tried running on the treadmill but every joint and muscle in my legs were shot. My legs almost feel the same as if I ran a marathon. I guess that can be expected after running 15 miles on the road after a 2 month road running hiatus. Rather than I running I did my next favorite thing, i.e. hundreds of floors on the stairmaster and then the elliptical.

Elliptical Miles: 5.25	Stairmaster Miles: 11.25

Hundreds of floors on the Stairmaster on beat legs? That sounds like a real treat. Glad you lived to blog about it. Seesh.

Ah yes, I love the stairmaster, too. HOw do you count your miles, though? Do you just go by what the computer thing says?

yeah, do you have another method? I know it's inflated.

I've just counted one mile for every fifteen minutes on the stair stepper. It's a bad system because it makes no allowance for the level of intensity. But I don't trust the computer all the time because when I'm going hard I can cover well over 10 fake miles in an hour.

It seems like you have some system worked out for converting cycling miles, so I was just wondering if you had something similar for the gym machines.
