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.

Days 198 to 202

Well here we are in the middle of summer and a heat wave no less.  Summer is a great time to get out and get active. This week was full of lots of variety.

Monday - Day 198 - today was a late night run with Heather - Heather decided she wanted to run 12 km - so if I wanted to join her I was in for the whole run.  It is amazing how much further you can push yourself when you have the help of a friend - thanks Heather.

Tuesday - Day 199 - today was a crazy busy day - I had to go to London to deal with some tenant issues. So I was in the car for 6 hours!!!!  Was not able to get my work out in until I got home at 10:30 at night - it was just a 30 minute brisk walk to flush the legs.

Wednesday - Day 200 - two hundred days - I cannot believe it - it seems like a lot of days but really it has not been that hard to fit in the 30 minutes.  Today I went for a 30 minute run with Matthew - he rode my mountain bike - which by the way was a mistake because he has realized it is nicer then his and now he wants it :)

Thursday - Day 201 - back to Active Life - such a great workout and great to see the morning ladies - I have not been there for 3 weeks.  It was a great challenge today - some tire kicking, rope and sand bag pulling and some good old running!

Friday - Day 202 - back on my mountain bike today.  Went out for the Friday mountain bike ride at 3 stages.  It was a big turn out - this was Sean's first ride in 4 weeks since his pinched nerve - so I enjoyed being able to keep up with him for at least one ride this year :)  The tail gate party in the parking lot after the ride was amazing - after a ride you really feel like you deserve a beer!
