Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

My running session with VH had to be cancelled yesterday.  I ended up getting off work very early and had no reason to stick around so I drove home.  I took a nap, got up....and went for a run.  I couldn't bring myself to run around the lake again.  I wanted to take a different path.  The one I tried last night was really a lot of fun.  It didn't have any big hills but it did have some pretty good inclines.  I think I will keep that run as my plan b.

My time was nothing special.  Finished over the 30 minutes for 5k.  The reason for this is a very slow start and the new running path sends me across some roads and I had to wait a few seconds to make sure it was safe to cross.  I'm hoping the next time I run it will be quicker.

A few weeks ago I downloaded an app called my fitness pal.  I use it to calculate my food intake so I can see how many calories I am eating a day.  I have set the threshold to 1800 calories a day.  I've really enjoyed using it.  The app also has a bar code scanner so I can scan food and it will calculate all the calories for me.  Since I have been using it my weight has gone down.  The weight kept fluctuating around 91 +(201 lbs)  kilograms.  But since using this weight I'm down to 89.5kg (197lbs) and staying there.  The longer I use it I can see the weight continuing to come off.  As you can see from the picture below there is a nice downward trend.
