Runners - favorite cross training?

JoBell123

I know I should be doing some cross training as I prep for my half (and just in general).  I hate the elliptical.  What are your favorite ways to cross train?

Yoga, hot or otherwise

I love my bootcamp class.

I also like the rowing machine and strength training.

does running count?

Seriously, I feel trapped on the elliptical. I don't mind spin class but it's a pain in the @ss to get there with small dcs. I do like yoga but I don;t really think of it as cross training since it's not cardio (at least not the classes I go to), ditto weights. I think I would like swimming, but I don't usually get into the pool without having to prevent a kid or two from going under.

Swimming.  Cycling.

I am anti-elliptical.  I don't feel like I get anything out of it.

Boxing/Kickboxing the classes have some sprints but not real running per se - it's mostly squats, lunges, plyo, and the bag work.

Some sort of class-kickboxing, circuit training, boot camp, les mills, etc.  Or just strength training.
