25:17 - not bad!

It's Thursday, so it's 5K fun run day. Nancy and I ran 6 miles first on a very hilly route, I ate one GU (Espresso Love, 2x caffeine, yay!). Then I did my 5K in 25:17!

Here's how it's been for the last three weeks:

Mar. 9 - 26:34
Mar. 16 - 25:48
Mar. 23 - 25:17

So that's all goodness. I'm supposed to take next week off of the hard run, but I might do it anyway. This time I did it at 7.3 until the end: there's a 4% hill at the very end and I pushed things up to 7.4 then 7.5, then 8.0 at the end of the hill, then 8.5 then 9.0. Fun.

So here are today's data:

Food:
Pre-workout: Banana, 60 cals (no coffee, boo hoo)
Workout: 1 GU, 90 cals
Breakfast: Banana bread, ham, cheese, milk in coffee: 495 cals
Lunch: Shrimp and veggie stir-fry, 250 cals
Snacks: 2 pieces candy with peanut butter, turkey and cheese: 250 cals
total so far: 1145 calories
I'm not finishing today. Let's just say this: I had a healthy dinner. Then I ate everything in sight.

Exercise:
Run 1.5 hours
Lift weights (mostly upper body - no abs, I'll do that tomorrow since I missed it on Tuesday and did it yesterday instead) 30 minutes
Calories burned: 850
