Cincinnati (specifically Northern Kentucky) has a new running store! I am so excited that Tri-state Running Company is now open in my hometown of Edgewood! It's literally less than a mile away. I am excited to find out about their training program. While I enjoyed The Bob Roncker's Running Spot program last year, this might be a better fit for me.
Speaking of marathon training, I recently joined a running group on Facebook called, "I thought they said RUM." Great name, and I loved that someone posted this hysterical and sadly accurate video:
Also this weekend, I was introduced to the world of Xbox Kinect. It's much like Wii, but there is no controller. It's hooked up to a camera, and you just use your body. It is so different from any video game I've ever played. My brothers and sister-in-law tried it out (my brother just got the system for his birthday) on Saturday and we had a blast. First, we played a dance game. I forget what it was called but I dominated, as a Zumba instructor righty should.
After everyone got tired of me kicking their butts, we switched to a game called Kinect Adventures, which consisted of jumping over things, ducking under things, dodging things and reaching for things. (Sorry, that's not very descriptive, but like I said, I'm not feeling very flowy and verbose today.) On this game, the system takes photos of you while you are playing, which you can then download. My brother Maury was able to post the photos directly to Facebook from the gaming console. I'm not sure what we're doing here, but I think he was winning. (He practiced before we got there.)
