VIDEO: Hillcrest is strapping on its heels and getting ready to race

SAN DIEGO -- While it would not necessarily be considered abnormal for a community like Hillcrest, if you happened to see teams of people jogging or working out wearing high heels over the last couple of weeks, they were most likely training for the first-ever Amazing High Heel Race, to be held tomorrow, June 18.

Fitness trainer Chris Tina Bruce of Discover Health & Fitness, along with her friend Jess Colyer, even created a YouTube video showing the pair getting an "intense" outdoor workout in at Balboa Park, in heels, as they prepare for tomorrow's scavenger hunt.
