Thats Right...

Yep you heard it here first the Wii Fit might call me a couch potato (more on that later) but I know whats true and I know I did it. Thats right I did it!!!!!! It what is it? Only a half Marathon length run, yup you heard it here first Dennis and I finished what we started a few weeks ago we did the big 1/2 today. The time? Oh glad you asked I just happen to know it 2 hours 8 minutes and 21 seconds thats only 3 minutes more than our 12.5 mile run so we deffinately kept a better pace. The carb gel I bought at GNC really worked good but I do need some kind of belt that will hold water bottles because man did I need water when I was done and the gel was really thick and sticky and it says to take it with water DOH. This was the first distance we had to give 2 tries before we got it but it is also the biggest fitness goal I have ever met. Problem is now I've done it and the next step is a full marathon. We did decide we are going to do the 1/2 3 or 4 more times at least before we think about increasing our milage I would like to see it done in under 2 hours before we move on.
In other news I am running my first 5k race on Thanksgiving day, I have really wanted to do a 5k and when I saw this one and the proceeds go to the Jesus center in Chico I knew it was for me. My last 5k length run was done in 25:28 so I am hoping to come in at under 25 minutes. Dennis said he is going to do it with me I hope so cause it is gonna be a rush. Afetr that I want to get 1 or 2 more 5k's in before I do a 1/2 marathon race.
OK the Wii Fit. I got one for my wife and decided to try it out. First the stupid thing called me obese and then later on a pushup section it called me a couch potato, I had just finished a 4 mile run. Stupid piece of electronic equipment. I did straighten out its attitude though, I had a long talk with it on how I have a really nice set of screwdrivers and wire cutters and I am more than willing to do surgery on electronics just to see what makes them tick. Yeah now it refers to me as "Oh fit master of the fitness Wii kingdom. How may I serve you" You just have to know how to reason with these things,
Really tghough when I look in the mirror now compared to 10 months ago if this is obese, then I am happy to be obese. And when I am sweating to P90X or runnin 13.1 miles if that is a couch potato well then slather me with butter (HMMM I might have to try that) anyway... umm yeah.
Have a great week
