Running to Stand Still

Yesterday AD and I decided to hit the gym after work, I've been working late every night and haven't felt much like training but sometimes I just need a swift kick from Amber to keep me motivated. Once I was in the gym I was ready to roll; I started by taking it easy on the treadmill 2% @ 8mph and gradually increased the incline by 2% every five minutes until I was doing 8% @ 8mph. At that time I was hurting and had to back off to 4%, but I was ready to gear up again during the 2nd half hour and hit 8% again.

Amber pushed herself too (I could tell by the strong running) it's probably not the best time of year to be doing intensity work, but damn we are going to be FAST for the early season races!
