Okay, I know it’s Monday, but I was so excited to share pictures of the deck that I forgot to tell you about my Saturday run.
I ended up splitting it between outside with Ruger and the treadmill.
My plan was to run for around 50 minutes and not worry about how I split it up. I started outside with Ruger and ended in front of my house at 3.7 miles. You can see on my watch that my average pace was 10:26/mile. 
I tried to keep it nice and easy and wanted to stay in the 10’s but you can see that didn’t quite happen.
Ruger thought this stump was a rabbit on our run and then was mad when I tried to take a picture of him next to his mistake.
My watch will track distance on the treadmill using cadence if I turn the gps off in the settings which is a cool feature. I’ve used my watch enough that the cadence is fairly accurate.
For runs under 90 minutes, I don’t usually eat ahead of time. I’ll have coffee before and a smoothie after. Next time I make one I’ll show you what I usually put in them.
This week I’m in Chicago with a colleague for training on a data analytics software that we use at work, so no smoothies. Also, the fitness center is in a creepy basement so I’m doing tabata workouts in my room instead of running.
Lunch was at Berghoff’s
where I had a giant Cobb salad. I’m on what Seth is referring to as a “vegetarian kick” so I asked to keep the chicken off but – oops – I “accidentally” still got the bacon. Shhhh!
The salad looks disgusting but it was actually delicious. I inhaled it. 
Supper was mules and sushi at Union.
A trusted friend recommended Union so I brought my appetite and tried the black rice sushi roll sampler. It was amazeballs. Oops, three of the rolls were not vegetarian. Meat Monday, anyone?
At least they were tasty!
So, that’s all for today. Tomorrow is more training and then, home!
