Marathon Training Day 7

Week 1 of marathon training is over.  We ran 15 miles this week.  And, we feel pretty good!

Today's training was cross-training.  We played 30 in-game minutes of Wii Fit and then went for a 30 minute walk around the village (we went 1.5 miles).  Wii Fit lets you track your weight and BMI, so we thought we would track them on the blog as well.  Here's where we are now:

Phil
Weight: 140.4 lbs
BMI: 19.66
Goal: 155 lbs / 21.7 BMI

Niki
Weight: 125.9 lbs
BMI: 24.71
Goal: 111 lbs / 21.7 BMI

A BMI of 21.7 is dead center for the Normal range of BMI (18.5 - 24.9).  Niki is looking to lose 15 lbs during training for the marathon.  Phil, on the other hand, is trying to gain 15 lbs despite training for the marathon.  Freshman 15, where are you when I need you!?

Tomorrow is the first day of our second week of training and the schedule calls for rest.  No problem.
