Another big calorie burning day

This morning, I ran the C25K. This was day 3 of week 5 and it was a pretty big milestone. This is the first time that I ran for 20 minutes straight. I was nervous heading into it, but really had no problem once I was out there.

Then, I mowed and edged our lawn. It was interesting because I used to dread that chore. I still don't like it, but I think now that I'm in better shape, it wasn't as bad. I did the whole thing and didn't have to stop (I stopped to drink some gatorade because on days where it's 90+ degrees out, I tend to sweat a ton).

When I added up all of my activity, I burned 1,400 calories. That's huge!
