Exercise: walk the dogs 10 min x2, Wii fit 27  min last night,

It felt good to get on the Wii again last night.  I played with the balance games and a couple of easy aerobic games.  Since I am walking on a regular basis right now, I want to use the Wii to help work on my balance and core muscles.  Today at lunch, I started doing a walk/jog combination.  I kept my jogging portions down to a block or two each time, but it felt good to get some running in.  There was a definite change in how much I was sweating when I got back to the office.

I am excited, Kat is trying out a free offer at a gym close by.  If it works for her, I'll Wii while she is at the gym in the evenings.  Kat has made a commitment to run a half marathon for the Cancer Society in May of 2012, so she is starting to train.  I am hoping that she and Helen will be able to train together.  Helen is a great long distance runner (for her age) and I think will be a great training buddy for Kat.  Meanwhile Abigail and I will keep walking with spurts of jogging.  My goal is for the kids and I to do the Shamrock Run 5k in March 2012 and the Starlight Run in June 2012.  To succeed, both the children and I need to train.  We can do a run/walk for both of these if needed.

So from here, I keep these goals in mind and move at whatever pace I can keep up and enjoy the journey.

Successes: Jog/walk
Barriers: Time
