Montreal Day 1!


Hello from Montreal! We had a great first day! The day started at 6:30 am when I dredged through the rain to the gym. I had a 40 minute tempo run on the agenda and completed it on the treadmill. Here is the workout:

Incline         Speed        Time
.5                 6.0             0-3
.5                 6.5             3-8
.5                 7.0             8-10
0                  7.1            10-12
0                  7.3            12-14
0                  6.6            14-16
0                  7.5            16-18
0                  6.8            18-20
0                  7.6            20-22
0                  7.8            22-24
0                  6.8            24-25
0                  8.0            25-27
0                  6.8            27-29
0                  8.5            29-30
.5                 7.0            30-32
.5                 6.5            32-37
.5                 6.0            37-40

This work out was hard!!! I do not know if it was because of the time of day (I don't usually work out first thing in the morning) or the workout itself, but I was dying during this workout!

Once homed and showered I had a bowl of Instant Oatmeal with Flax. I only use these packets for emergencies when I am in a rush. My oatmeal included a banana, peanut butter, blueberry jam, and a handful of granola.


After breakfast a hot man in a car came to pick me up and we were on our way to Vermont (Magic Hat Brewery) and Montreal, Canada.

The car minus the hot man

It was a perfect first day to our vacation (and NO rain)!!!! Cannot wait to go explore more today!!! I am finishing up a Luna Bar and heading to the hotel gym with Evan to get in a quick workout before we head out for the day. Have a great Thursday!
