OK, SO I NEVER QUITE CAUGHT ONTO THE METRIC SYSTEM

I have been assuming all along that a kilometer was equal to a mile. Therefore, my mind calculated a 5K to be approximately 5 miles. Imagine my joy when I found out it is more like 3.1 miles.

This entire time I thought I would have to be working up to a 5 mile walk. Actually I am doing right at 2-2.5 miles so I am practically there. Today I did a little less than 3 miles in about 45 minutes.

Unfortunately the temps were not as low as I understood them to be when I set out on my walk today. I took off for the boulevard at a pretty good clip and was about ready to collapse w/in 45 minutes. Fortunately my friend had arranged to pick me up at the park so we could go out to lunch. Driving home I realized it was 94 degrees outside! Needless to say I have had a pounding headache all day.

We went to the new CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE that they have built in place of the old ChiChis. I highly recommend the island salad topped w/ steak. It was a nice change but not something that I think that we will frequent.
