No such luck. The gym has 9 treadmills. Eight of them were occupied and the ninth was out of commission. Phooey!
So, I got on one of the cross country ski machines. At least. that is what I call them.
OK, so they are called arc trainers.
I used to use them all the time, back when I thought that jogging was for anyone but me. I have been on the treadmills ever since I saw the light, but now that my right Achilles tendon is giving me grief, the ski machine is just what I needed! There is no extreme flex of that tendon and I still get a great, sweaty workout! I didn't go the distance... only 2.25 mile an hour, oi! But I still burned a healthy number of calories and went home feeling great! I think I'll switch over to the ski machines for a month or two to give my tendon a chance to fully recover before going back to jogging.
