Speshl Day

My daughter's new thing lately is to mark each day off of the calendar.  I looked at it this morning and she had written "speshl day" under Monday.  I told her that we were going to make eggs and bacon, go to the gym, play putt putt and then go to lunch.  I guess in her eyes that's a special day! 

Today was also Day One of my new diet and exercise plan.  I trained from last October to this past February for my first half marathon.  I did it in Feb, a 15k in March and then absolutely NOTHING since.  So, my new goal is to see how fast I can run a 5k.  I'd like to do it at close to 30 minutes as possible - I am a 12 minute mile runner (not very fast!) so this is a big goal.  I jog/walked on the treadmill today and it took me 45 minutes.  I have a llllllooooonnnngggg way to go!  I have until the end of August so we'll see!

The "diet" part didn't go so hot.  There's always tomorrow ;) 

New learning for today: It's not helpful to celebrate going to the gym with a birthday cake milkshake.
