I bought a used Wii from a coworker last week and she threw in all the games that she had + the Wii Fit.  So I broke that out yesterday out of curiosity.  I played around with the yoga and strength and cardio parts for a 1/2 hour and then decided to go for a short run.  My only complaint after Saturday is a little soreness in my left hamstring.  But it felt fine during and after the run.  I probably should stretch or something.  But I'm sure I won't.

Just an easy 4.  I'm going to take it easy this week while I try to figure out my running plans for the near future.   I want to concentrate on strength training at least for the next few months, so I need to start doing the Shred again.

I realized something yesterday:  I use running as a way to break up the stress of being a working mother.  Yesterday my SIL took the kids after school to work on a project, and so when I got home I had nothing to do till 8.  You would think that would be my opportunity to run, but instead I sat on the couch and watched 2 episodes of Pregnant in Heels.  I've never watched that before.  I can't imagine being as helpless/needy/useless as the pregnant moms on that show. 

Then finally I got off the couch and decided to play around with the Wii Fit again.  I don't think I get a good workout, but I did sweat a little.  Then, since I had wasted my running time, I just didn't run, and I didn't really care.

Not sure where I'm going with running now.  I'll probably feel more into it next week, I'm guessing.

Another day of indifference to running.  I actually kinda enjoy the Wii Fit, though I know it does not give me a good workout.  I spent a long time trying to beat my hula hoop record.

I Wii-ed with the kids for a hour.  They like it too.
