Day 43 - Running Outdoors

So there's definitely a world of difference between running on a treadmill and running outdoors.  Even more so when your GPS watch isn't working so you have no idea how fast you're running.  Today was a reunion run for Team Challenge, and so that meant running out in the "real world."  Nothing overly challenging, just a mostly flat stretch of sidewalk in Boston.  The total run I did was somewhere between 4 and 5 miles, but I'm not exactly sure how fast I went.  I'm guessing I was at least at a 10 minute mile pace, at least in part because I was outpacing other runners on the stretch.  The next time I get out though, I definitely need to have the watch working because otherwise it's very hard to get a sense of what I'm doing.  That is one of the nice bits of the treadmill, it always tells me what it thinks I've done at least.

Food today:  egg and cheese for both breakfast and dinner (300 calories each), lunch was a bacon cheeseburger with fries (1300 calories) and snacks on the day included some popcorn (300 calories).  Exercise estimate for the run today (500 calories).
