Wii Resort is a GAME!!! A fun GAME!! You aren’t supposed to be sore playing a video game!! Maybe get a thumb cramp! Not your arms, buns, shoulders, legs… well, you get the idea… HOLY MOLY I’m sore in muscles I didn’t know I had! The Carlsbad Marathon may very well kill me!!   No matter what DH tells you I’m not doing it on purpose!! I did not make the old lap top a paper weight so I could have a shiny, new, perfect (very fast) laptop. Just like I did not break the car to get a new one….. If I was doing that I would have broken the cell phone not the car!!! I love my little car!! Okay it’s not broken exactly…. (I HOPE!! Please keep your fingers crossed!) so much as the check engine light came on during my drive home…. so tomorrow morning at 8am I’ll be sitting at the Audi dealership. Which means I won’t be walking with Kaki in the morning. I’m tellin’ ya I’m having a very hard time staying motivated lately!! I would rather just go hide under the covers. BUT before I go…..remember….. DH is wrong!!! It’s not on…

As in wii Resort that is. DH and I played for 4 hours!! In that 4 hours I realized I can’t handle a sword very well (as in not at ALL!). Canoeing is great if you don’t give me a paddle cause I’m a right turner and I cause the canoe to go in circles. Wake-boarding …. well, I can’t swim anyway so REALLY why do I want to jump around on a board?? Golfing is good if you like the sand….. and the tree’s…. Table tennis… Ummmm stupid paddle I think mine has a hole in it. Bowling? Okay NOW we’re talkin’. At least I gave DH a little competition during that game. I am a little sore already! That was a fun workout! (Except the part where DH is hollering “JUST pick a side to paddle on and STAY there!!” WHAT?? Like going in a circle isn’t FUN!?!?!?)   No matter what DH tells you I’m not doing it on purpose!! I did not make the old lap top a paper weight so I could have a shiny, new, perfect (very fast) laptop. Just like I did not break the car to get a new one….. If I…

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the Carlsbad Marathon. Lot’s of different thoughts actually. I could just hold a fund raiser…. get Selena back her $75.00 entry fee. I could hire a stunt double that looks like me… and will whine and complain the whole route… Then it dawned on me…. the Half Year Challenge blog will be over by race time I can say “I’m going to do it!! FOR ME!!” Everyone will be impressed and proud of me….. but and NO ONE WOULD know if I chickened out!! Wait… forget this last part. Let’s just go back to everyone being sooooo impressed!!!   No matter what DH tells you I’m not doing it on purpose!! I did not make the old lap top a paper weight so I could have a shiny, new, perfect (very fast) laptop. Just like I did not break the car to get a new one…..

So… I’d like to share this email from my darling daughter Selena (You know… the one we will from now on refer to as the INSANE ONE!! I love you Selena! But you are NUTS?!?! Mom, Guess what you and Dan are doing together in January?? Yep, I bought my running slot a long time ago and thought I would be good for it by now but it looks like I won’t be. Better get training. It will be a ridiculously rewarding achievement. Please don’t say no. Dan will be walking and jogging it. I will be there as moral support. It’s 13.2 miles, typically you should be up to 6 miles a day around November then move it up to at least 9 miles by race day. Do NOT buy new shoes for the race. If you need new shoes get them now. Dan and you could do a test run 2 weeks before. It’s not a race you have plenty of time. You CAN DO THIS. I want you to do this for yourself. I can provide you with training stuff and there is plenty of information on the web site. My first, second, third and FOURTH reactions…
