I ran a hilly route this morning since I don't think there are a lot of hills  near the hotel we will be staying at in Michigan.

Legs felt good. I was overdressed for the weather since I had tights on (my running capris are packed because they are expecting snow in Detroit). I missed my usual light setup since it is also packed - but had a backup headlamp I could use.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing....

My boss and I just got back from dinner at Bahamanian Breeze. Seafood Chowder and 3 seafood appetizers. Oink. Oink. (But it was sure good).
