Wii (are not) Fit

With the weather being so crappy yesterday, naturally, the thoughts of not being able to run very much have begun to occupy my mind. It is a known fact in my immediate circle of family and friends that if I don't get some type of exercise every day, my alter ego begins to surface. Because of this, my husband went out and bought a Wii system. It came with a Wii Sports game. We had such a fun time playing tennis, bowling, boxing, baseball and of course golf. Then he bought Mario Kart. I remember when we used to play a lot of that with our girls on Nintendo 64. It is still just as fun, I swear. This morning Keith was looking at videos on You Tube about Wii Fit. When he saw all the things you can do on Wii Fit, especially the running, he bought it for me before I was even out of bed. Oh my gosh! It's harder than you would think. We both did the initial fit test and, uh, according to this thing, I AM NOT FIT!!! It focuses on your balance to help strengthen your core. It also teaches you correct form for all the exercises you do (yoga, balance, strength, aerobics) on the balance board. To all the skeptics out there, don't shoot it down completely until you try it.


I am happy to say that Keith and I took Boomer out to Garin today for a short run. It was a tad muddy but the beautiful single tracks were just nicely decorated with leaves to soften your landing running down them.
Until later....................
