I did a hill workout on the treadmill. I want to train myself to keep a fast tempo on hills, so I upped the speed to 7:30 pace and lowered the incline to 5. And I did the "Hill" workout rather than the "Random Hill" workout. I don't think the "Hill" workout is as difficult, but the faster pace gave me a really good workout. My theory is that the hills help you to increase your stride length when running on flat but more importantly gives you a great cardio workout.

Boy, I've had four great workouts this week already. Feels great to be in shape. Now I get to rest for 48 hours.
