So as we all head into the new year we are all faced with the concept of New Years resolutions. Oh I have made
them before only to fall short of my goal as life (family and work) take over my good intentions. So this year I decided to get my friend Angela involved in my New Year resolution so that I have to be accountable to someone other than myself. Oh, I guess this would be a good place to tell you what my New Years Resolutionis.........well the plan is to be physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes for all 365 days of the year. That is right every single day of 2012. So now you might be asking why are you blogging about it? Well Angela and I were trying to figure out how to keep each other on track, she lives in London and I live in Collingwood. We tried google calendar but that was really frustrating and then Angela sent me an excel sheet that had dates on it and that is not that much fun. So when I was snowshoeing the other day I thought to myself maybe I should blog about our efforts - make us accountable not only to each other but anyone else who might be interested in what we are up to. So that is the beginning of this blog I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your comments.

Day 77 - Swimming in March?

Today was a really busy day - I cannot wait to sleep in!!!  Started the day at the YMCA on the treadmill at 7:30 am - there is nothing on TV Saturday mornings - so thankfully I had borrowed Matthew's IPOD touch and decided to do some interval training - well sort of - I decided to run really fast for the first minute of each new song - it actually got the heart rate up and was kinda fun! Had planned on only running for 30 minutes but Matthew's play list was so motivating I ended up running for 60 minutes. The rest of the day included Matthew's hockey game, moving more stuff and then dinner at Sunset park - right on the Georgian Bay.  The weather today was crazy warm - I think I heard on CBC that it was 18 degrees warmer than normal. Well after dinner the kids decided they wanted to see how cold the water was - well not cold enough because Matthew, Kade and Jayden went in.  That is right they went swimming in Georgian Bay on March 17th! The funniest part was that Jayden was skiing only 3 hours before - crazy!
