Today's Mile and the Wii

I have been a bad girl. I have not run since Saturday. I have no excuse. I could give you a list of reasons, but I can ALWAYS make time for a run. *Sigh*

Since I have not run since *ahem* Saturday, my run suffered today.

Today's mile was 12'30." Three factors contributed to a bad run time today:
1) I haven't run since Saturday
2) It was VERY hot out when I went (11am in Middle Georgia in Mid-July- yep, it's already 90 out), so I ran a lot LESS than usual. Not slower when I did run, but LESS running.
3) I brought Roxy with me. I will not do that again. AJ got upset that he didn't get to go and Roxy feels the need to pee on everything we pass, which is not conducive to running.

In another step toward health and fitness, we got a Wii and Wii Fit. Well, I went in halvsies with my sister's family on the Wii last year and have played it approximately four times, so she let me borrow it for a while with all their awesome games and accessories. We are purchasing a Wii later this summer. Used. From a friend.

Anyway.

I started Wii Fit and it told me I am OVERWEIGHT! I can do all the exercises it wants me to do pretty well, and I get good scores on the yoga and strength stuff. But according to the wonderful makers of Nintendo, I need to drop about 18 lbs. Thanks, Japan!

Hopefully tomorrow's mile will be better.

Keep on running!
