My New Best Friend

I wish I could say it was a person.

Or even a dog.

Or something, but no, welcome to my world.

My new BFF in the whole wide world is:

HIIT

That's right.

I wasn't going to go to the gym, but then I remembered, oh yeah, I wanted to.

I went to the library, picked up my books and headed to the gym.

My workout went like this:

10 mins of running (9:30 min mile which is a personal best, hey, I run slow).

Thought about using the Step Mill (did about 4 minutes).

Changed my mind and said, treadmill, we're friends (most of the time) let's see if I can do some pyramid intervals or rolling hill intervals.

So, what's a girl to do?

Both.

It went a little something like this:

2 min - 4.0 - 4 incline

1 min - 7.0 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 5 incline

1 min - 7.2 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 6 incline

1 min - 7.4 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 7 incline

1 min - 7.6 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 8 incline

1 min - 7.8 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 9 incline

1 min - 8.0 - 0 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 1o incline

1 min - 7.6 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 9 incline

1 min - 7.4 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 8 incline

1 min - 7.2 - 1 incline

2 min - 4.0 - 7 incline

1 min - 7.2 - 1 incline

5 min - COOL DOWN

That's right, I might not be as fast as some, but I think I rocked it out.

It also felt WAY different than my 5 mile runs, but I sweat my butt off maybe even more.

We'll see what crazy ideas I get for tomorrow's workout.

Happy Short Work Week!
