So tomorrow is my first 5K. I'm doing it with friends from work so I'm planning to pretty much match my pace to them, but I'm curious to see how I'll do. I'm kind of using it to see if I can't set my pace and stick to it for the course. If I can, then it becomes merely a matter of stretching that ability out for another 10 miles. On the other hand a 5K just seems kind of short. I regularly do longer distances on both a treadmill and out in the real world. Last week's Team Challenge training did more than 5 miles, so a 3 mile distance just seems a little weird. I'm not going to try and sprint it or anything. If I can finish in 40 minutes I'll be pretty happy with myself.
Food today: egg and cheese for breakfast (300 calories), PB&J for lunch (600 calories), snacks were a granola bar, a couple tootsie rolls and a couple jelly beans (150 calories), dinner was penne, sauce and garlic toast again (1000 calories). Exercise was a lunch time walk and an hour on the treadmill at the new speed (1059 calories total).
