Don't make a mole hill out of an f'n volcano...

So since I was late working today I decided to hit the gym for my workout / training session.
I was reading on www.runnersworld.com about a good treadmill hill training session, so I thought I'd give it a try seeing as how I felt I needed to switch it up a bit on the treadmill tonight, and seeing as how I'll have to run around a volcano in 13 months I thought it would be good practice.

Here's how it goes...
Warm up - walk/run - 10 mins
Run at marathon speed (since I have no idea what my marathon speed is, I decided on a 10min/mile). You run on a number 1 incline for 2 mins, then go to a 2 incline for 2 mins, then back to 1 for 2 mins, then to 3 for 2 mins, and continue until you've reached an incline of 7.
Example - 1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5,1,6,1,7 in 2 minute intervals.
Finish with a cooldown - 10 mins walk

I'm telling you, this was intense. If you've never tried running on a treadmill at a 7 incline, I suggest you don't ever do it unless you're training for a marathon that involves hills. I've ran hills outside, before and it was nothing like this, but I suppose, no pain, no gain. Right???

I spent then next 45 mins in the gym doing my strength training. There were a few beefcakes in the gym tonight though which made me feel kind of weird as they were lifting crazy amounts of weight and then there was me lifting not so crazy amounts of weight as I'm trying to simply tone, not bulk up.
Have you ever noticed how weird some of these beefcakes are...all these guys talked about was getting laid, but the funny thing is that they probably aren't getting any as they spent alot of time flexing in the mirror and planning a trip to the titty bar. Maybe someone should tell them that steroids cause your dick to shrink...anyhow, once again I digress, so I'll quit now.

Take some time tomorrow to remember those who fought for our freedom ...it's important that we never forget...ever!!!
