Chutes and ladders

On Saturday, I ran inside. :( I had to because it was cold and dark and whenever I run outside, I never make it into the gym to do PT exercises like I'm supposed to. BUT! I did ladder intervals, which is a fun way to get in several miles on a treadmill without even realizing you're doing it! I did a 1/4 mile at speed=8, 1/2 mile at 7.5 and 1 mile at 7, then back down - 1/2 mile at 7.5, 1/4 mile at 8. In between each one, run slowly or walk for 2-3 minutes while your heart rate goes back down and your breathing recovers. And presto! 4.41 miles all done!
