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.

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot - Days 161 & 162

This weekend was the hottest and busiest yet.  It started with a rugby tournament and ended with an evening at the beach and a great mountain bike ride.

Saturday - Day 161 - this day started with a morning rugby tournament in Markham.  Both boys were in it and had a great time.  This was Matthew's first time playing a tackle rugby game - actually the whole under 12 team - the program has just started with the Georgian Bay Titans Club.  I think they were a little shocked in the first game and the team they played definitely knew what they were doing.  But it was amazing to see how much they had improved and how much confidence they gained by the third game.  Since we were so close to TO - Sarah, Maeve and I had to get a little shopping in - so I did not get home until late but still managed to get in a 35 minute brisk walk - although I was also pretty active with all the walking at the rugby tournament and while shopping :) 

Sunday - Day 162 - this was a fun day.  Well it started with work for the morning - Sean has report cards and I had to get my invoices out.  But we headed to the Shale in Craigleith around 4 pm for some paddle boarding and kayaking.  Then Heather, Sarah, Lorraine and I went for a mountain bike ride - we were probably an hour and a half - and we tried out some new trails - by accident!!!!  The 24 hours of adrenaline race is coming up this month the weekend of June 23rd.  We have some spots left on our team if anyone wants to join us - it is a corporate team - super fun and no pressure - the whole family can come and camp and race - it really is a great time - let me know if you are interested!!

This is our 1976 Volkswagen westfalia all loaded up for fun - a paddle board, kayak and my mountain bike!
