A tale of two walkies

My 4pm meeting was canceled today and we opted for leftovers which were easy to reheat. I didn't have to cook, so I opted to run to the gym. I know we have dogs to walk, but there's a reason that the gym has become a better option for me. 

I get more steps and distance in. Screenshot below, but, you can see the treadmill time and distance, and the dog walk time and distance. I can jog to certain songs (Mr. Brightside, In the Middle, Song 2, all bangers and all good pace songs). I can't do that with the dogs. 

Obviously, one is far more productive. I don't mind doing both. When I got home from the gym, we ate, and I asked Doug if he wanted to walk one dog and I'd walk the other but he said he didn't feel up to it, and... hockey was coming on. 

I took Dahlia first, because she needed to poop, and she did, literally 3 houses away. Thank you. Now we can do the whole block because that's what I was mentally prepared for (8 minute loop). And then I went back and got Toffee and walked to the end of the street and back at our leisure. 

All told, slower, more stopping to sniff, stopping to poop, stopping to bark at other dogs, stopping to talk to some neighbors along the way.

None of that on the treadmill. Treadmill is all business, all focus, no leashes moving from hand to hand, no bag of poo to worry about. Just progress.

In other news, our first day of a 3 day training went well. I love my colleague, running the class with me, and we switched back and forth on tasks. Made it so easy for us to be able to sip water while the other was talking and go through the comments in the chat and answer questions. 

Tag Team Delightfulness.
