OK, so the only things that rested today were muscles. I didn't run, but I drove all over Florida (or so it seemed) taking my girls to the orthodontist, etc. Since I ran so much yesterday I opted out of the morning run (not to mention I really needed the sleep!) But I did find a new form of exercise that made my arms a bit sore. My parents (whom we visited last night) got a Wii. I played Wii bowling and Wii tennis last night and my arms are a little on the sore side. I was amazed at my daughter who played Wii Boxing and she worked up a sweat fast! Way to go, Baby! My husband loves the thing and can barely move he's been playing it so much. Even my dad got into it. But here's the thing . . . while I know that the experience of everything we do is mitigated by the mind, how can you work up a sweat boxing the air? You miss the rebound of the "hit" and somehow it just doesn't make sense to me. But my husband assures me it's just like the real thing . . . that somehow you communicate to your mind that you DID "hit" something. Unreal . . . literally.
In the meantime, I'm going to hit some "real" pavement tomorrow. Again I'll jog the whole thing. I'll let you know about it if I live through it.

We got a Wii and the WiiFit about a month ago. Tennis on the Wii always makes my arm sore, but the WiiFit really makes you sweat. You should see us hula-hooping and doing step aerobics. Very entertaining for the spectator!
Anyway, keep it up, Katie -- we're cheering you on!
