30 minutes on elliptical w/arms, interval hills and resistance. HARD!

30 min. interval speed workout on treadmill (6.0-6.5)
ab workout, lifted arms and chest
watched 2 highschool girls race on the treadmill for 30 mins. man am i slow! at least i felt better when their coach came in to get them. i forget sometimes that i am only an amateur lucky to be breathing while running these days. this was never a sport i excelled at as many of you know. but its good to go out of your comfort zone once and awhile.
