So, I haven’t actually started using my Wii again but plan to.  I have been reading a lot about people using the EA Sports Active to train for a 5K.  I have decided I want to start running.  I know a lot of people that have lost a lot of weight and gotten in shape by doing so.

Now I am WAY out of shape and it’s now almost winter in WI, so I am not sure how I am going to pull off running.  We don’t have a treadmill and there is no way my husband will let me get one until I show that I will be running for the long haul.   This next summer we are camping all week at a state park where you take long bike rides once or twice a day, so I want to be ready.

I have a question for all those that have used the EA Sports Active to train for a run…What program do you use?  I tried to find it last night and couldn’t.  Any help on that would be appreciated.  :-)

Stay tuned here to see how my adventures in running come along.

Random Tuesday Thoughts – Trying something new

November 17, 2009

I thought I would try this out because I can be pretty random.  My head is full of useless information most of the time.
I am super happy that next week is a short week at work.  I figure if I can make it through this week, next week should be a breeze.
My daughters school as [...]
