Day 7

Today was the Team Challenge Mock 5K.  Mostly a timed 5K run to give everyone a sense of what a race day is like.  Would have been nicer if it weren't cold and rainy.  I set a personal best for a 5K, improving on my last time by 8 whole seconds!  About half-way through the race I realized I was running too fast, as I'd been trying to match my pace to people with mile times about a minute faster than mine.

Today's run:  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/163286999
At the finish line, getting my Popsicle stick

And as a comparison here's my last 5K:  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/156566594

By the end of the run my knee was bugging me again but it wasn't too bad.  After running though I hit the outlets in Wrentham, one positive of the weather was nobody else was there yet.  I got to pick up some new clothes that should fit me better, at least for a little while.  Eventually they'll probably end up baggy as well.

Food today:  egg and cheese sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch (300 calories each), a couple mini-muffins and a mini-cupcake after the run (300 calories), penne, sauce and garlic toast for dinner (1000 calories).  Exercise was the 5K today (500 calories).

Yes dinner's been pretty repetitive this week, but I'm still trying to load up on fiber a ton.

Today's Results:
Daily Food Total:  1900

Exercise:  500
Points Earned:  1600
Total Points Earned:  10655
Points to go:  189345
