That was AMAZING!!!!

This morning, I decided to stop pussy footing around with the treadmill and just go for the burn...quite the feat since I haven't even looked at the gym in close to three weeks!

Rather than just do my regular walk at 3% incline and 3.8 mph, I decided to go back to where I was last year and do the cross country routine. It has hills as high as 12% incline - CRAZY!

I did all but the last 2 minutes or so at 4.0 mph and even ran the flats at 5.0 mph (there is 5 minutes worth of "flat terrain").

The result? 2.23 miles walked and over 300 calories burned!

Like I said, THAT WAS AMAZING!!! WOOHOO!!!

  1. I was thinking about "skipping" the gym tonight...but you've inspired me. You kicked A$$ girl! I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do that incline. Awesome work!
