I was going to go swimming but swimming outside in 50 degree fog/mist seemed unnecessarily cold, so I decided to elliptical instead. It turns out that UC Berkeley has weird, fancy ellipticals that mimic the running gait better but the running muscles less well. It was sort of like running through molasses. The hard part was bringing my foot forward more than pushing back. Still a good workout, though. The knee felt good until the very end.

Briefly checked out a stationary bike to see if it would be any better, but either the resistance part of the bike I was using was broken or it would only increase the resistance if it could sense your heartrate (which for reasons I assume are associated with dry skin, never works for me), so I gave up pretty quickly. Biking up the hill after work every day is WAYYYYY more difficult than the stationary bike.

Then I discovered that the downstairs ellipticals are more like the ellipticals Harvard had. I will keep this in mind if I come back.
