Day Date - Sun Beat

    It's the close of the day and I'm sitting in the room with the hubs thinking about Father's day.  Wow, Father's Day used to be such a drag for me.  But now I get to celebrate the kids having Ishmael as a dad and that totally rocks.  As a pre-celebration, we enjoyed a day out and about.  We went to the Orioles vs. Nationals baseball game today... so funny when Ishmael yelled "GOAL!!!" and all the diehard baseball fans were mentally twisting around in their seats trying to choke him out.  LOL.  I think we must have had the hottest seats in the whole stadium... and no, I don't mean the hottest location as far as being closest to the field with the best view.  I mean, we were in some good seats (special thanks to the Air National Guard for the free tickets) but the sun was frying us all like turkeys out there!!!  I saw women in tank tops, skin just blazing red... and redder still.  "That couldn't feel good," I imagine.  But, c'est la vie!
    I literally melted in my seat.  When I got up, my capris were sticking to me and I looked like I had a "wee" little accident.  And the camel-back that we carried in (that the fans surrounding us had hoped we were cool enough to smuggle booze in with) was disappointingly filled with only ice water (since neither of us drink)... and man, the water ran out real quick.  :)
    So, even though the sun cooked most of my energy out and probably helped me lose some water weight, I figured "what the heck, let's head out of here and walk around the mall for a while."  I was really proud of myself for thinking about a place indoor, with air conditioning, that you can walk laps around... and for even having the desire to walk it.  **Step 4: malls are free places to exercise, just don't be stopping in the stores LOL**
    Did my walk for today!!!  Despite being sun-toasted-beat-tired... and so ends day two of my mile walks!  I'm going to press forward in my goal to making a good mile walk part of my daily routine!
