Running up hill...in high heels (figuratively)

  I love my work, but this week I felt I was running uphill.  Late nights, questions coming at me from everywhere, late nights, etc.  In honor of my week, my "anything goes" Friday workout was running up hill.  I did the work out for 50 minutes on the treadmill at my Equinox

First 3 minutes 4.5mph  at 0 incline
         7 minutes 6.4 mph at 2%
       10 minutes 6.7 mph at 3%
       10 minutes 7.0 mph at 4%
         5 minutes 7.3 mph at 5%
         5 minutes 7.0 mph at 4%
         5 minutes 6.4 mph at 2%
         5 minute cool down 4.5mph at 0 incline...
   I was surprised at how changing intervals (time and incline) made time pass quickly.  This workout helps me with the hills in Manhattan Beach and of course, interval training is always great for your heart and lungs.
   Have a great weekend! 

   FYI...I love my Nike Fly Knits and the new spring collection is available at Nike.com
These are so comfortable to run in...
