Exercise: "fast" 5K run around back cove, (606 cal)
Weight: 208.5
Hacker's weight:
Net calories: 1592

Not sure why the scale dropped two pounds today, but I'm not complaining. I overslept today, and ended up missing a lot of an absolutely gorgeous day. I was really excited by my run, it was the first time since resuming running that I pushed myself to do more than my super-slow pace, and I did the 5K distance in 40 minutes. While this is nothing to write home about and shy of my personal best, it felt really great to be able to rise to the challenge, and to run a distance at a more reasonable speed without stopping. I wish I had easier access to running the back cove, it's such a great run!

I ended up with almost all my run calories to eat back late in the day, and ended up overdoing it a bit, partially to avoid undereating for the day. This keeps happening where the extra calories that I earn I end up eating back with indulgent sorts of things later in the day, rather than spreading them out with healthy filling foods throughout the day. If I can, I'm going to try to exercise in the morning as possible to try to avoid this problem.
