Now That Blogger Fixed it's Photo Bug.....

I can show you my new friends in Fredericksburg! Meet three of the fantastic members of Fredericksburg SeeMommyRun! From left to right, me (yikes on the posture!), Jamie, Laura and Stephanie. Thanks again ladies!
And one last photo...my mom sent me this one of me and my 8-year-old, Carter. This was the first time I saw the kids after the race. It was so fantastic to have my boys their and for them to see mommy do something other than laundry! All of us running moms are setting a fantastic example for our kids!

Wii Fit

Has anyone tried the new Wii Fit? I got one this weekend. The first step, after entering your height and birth date, is to get on the board and have your weight measured giving the Wii your BMI. After that, you take a "balance test". It somehow puts all these things together and gives you your "Mii Age". After plugging in my height, and standing on the board for the various measurements and tests, I got my results: I am underweight, 55 years old (my actual age is only 38), off balance and 'much weaker' than I should be. Ah yes. That's the way to start my morning off right! I wonder if the folks over at Wii know about my medal??

Burke Lake Bingo

So, here's one activity we've used while running with the kids in the stroller. Grab a crayon and print out a copy for each kid. Just click on the above picture or paste http://www.tekfamily.org/jenmisc/BurkeLakeBingo.pdf into your web browser.

You can't change this PDF, but I just use Microsoft Word clip art to make different versions depending on the season or what types of things you see along your run. Have fun!
