The Half-Da-Man Project

Whew! What a first official day of summer!

Up with the sun for a treadmill workout, then shot some hoops with The Boy. The spirit is willing but the knees are WEAK, y'all.

So I lost my glasses at the kids' dance recital last week, and I hadn't had an eye exam for a while, so I went to at for that. They were amazing!

But I got the eye drops, which made driving, um, fun the rest of the day.

And oh boy did I drive a lot!

Meeting with a friend from church to talk about eating , then took my 10yo out for a chipping and putting session. We made up a sort of match play, stroke play putting game to get her locked in for her next tournament on Wednesday.

Did I mention that she beat me? Again?? And got her first birdie? And came thisclose to getting her first ace?

Yeahhhh, she's ready.

So now I'm ready to collapse, but I have two weeks of laundry to get started.

Ahhhh, summer. Let's do it again tomorrow!!

Outside work today! I finished a 5k at about an 11:30 mile pace, which isn't awful. Definitely could be better. I usually know about ten strides into a run whether I can test the stability of my hip flexors, and today was not a long striding sorta day!

I don't know if it's a mental thing or not, but the hills that normally give me a ton of trouble on this loop looked and felt like gentle inclines today. Funny what getting into shape will do for you!

Confession time: I wasn't going to posy photo today, because I thought *my shadow* made me look bad.

I mean, really? C'mon maaaaaaan!

I posted it anyway, because it's motivation for me to keep pursuing fitness and total health (which includes mental well-being for me too!!)

Getting ready for my test prep class on Monday and my kids' dance recital tonight. Should be a wonderful weekend!!

Day 20 - today's theme: don't stop!

Habits form between three and ten weeks. I'm just about there. Thinking about how to use this time of radical restriction as a springboard to health.
