activities: 5 mile walk/run @ the gym (34 minutes on elliptical trainer, 14 minutes jogging pace, 20 minutes walk pace + 29 minutes on treadmill, 16 minutes jogging, 13 minutes jogging = 63 minutes to run 5 miles/12.6 minute pace)

calories consumed: 2047

so it was my second long run day, and i decided to go to the rec center for a fitness expo that was going on. i got there early, at 9 when they opened up, and got over an hour of exercise in. i also got a free body fat assessment (30%) and a free 15 minute massage! fantastic. i do have one concern with the body fat percentage, though, 'cause i had just finished a workout and was told that might cause problems with the results. i plan to go back in a few weeks and get one before a workout to see what the difference is. hopefully it's lower either way!

after working out, i headed to joy's to pick her up 'cause we were meeting all the girls (except melissa) in hampton for lunch at joe's crab shack. considering the whole day (breakfast early before workout, a spinach wrap salad after the run, a huge yummy salad at joe's, and pizza and beer in the evening with wendell and kelley at cogan's), i think i did pretty well calorie-wise. it was my second 2000+ day since i started eating more healthy food, but i could have done much worse. i made good choices, ate very little dressing on the salad(s), left most of the pizza crust on my plate, and had light beer instead of what i would normally have had at cogan's. :) we'll see how the scale responds tomorrow morning...
