Jessica~ ya know, I think you should go for Week 2--it's different than week 1 as there aren't as many runs to get in--they're just longer. So in a way, it's almost a little easier in that it's over sooner! I say go for it and if you have a really hard time, redo week 1--just remember, it's your workout! You do what you feel comfortable doing!!

Okay Ladies~ We've got just 3 more days of August left! So those of you counting minutes/miles--let's get 'em in!! Those of you who have made goal already-- CONGRATS!!!! You've all done an amazing job so far, let's keep it up and finish strong!!!!!

Delphi---Daaaaaayum, 2500 minutes--you kick ars! Way to go!!!!!

Well only put in 30 minutes on the Wii today (1230/1000) and I gotta say it actually is giving me a workout. I didn't think it would when I first started using it. Not so much cardio (although the running place is good and the step if I put it up on a platform), but the strength training is actually making a difference. The plank challenge is my fave and with all the balancing I can really feel in my calfs the next day, and after doing the lunges yesterday my thighs burned sooooo bad today. So I did them again tonight, lol. My theory is if it hurts and I don't want to it, I must need to do it! Can't wait till the Wii Fit 2 comes out.

Jessica~ I think you'll do great, just remember, slow and steady. Sounds like the Wii is working out great for you! I don't have the Wii Fit and I've still not gotten into the EA Sports thing yet--just been too into other stuff.
