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.

On Vacation - Days 184 to 186

Well we made it - we made it to vacation time and boy did we need it.  I was not able to update the blog from Florida as easily as I would have thought - one we were really busy and two the computer at the house did not like my blog site.  So here is the update for the last week.

Monday - Day 184 - well this was the day we left.  We still had not told the boys we were even going away until late in the morning.  We told they we were going to Niagara Fall to Marineland - they were far from impressed - they really wanted to go to Canada's Wonderland!  When we got to Niagara Fall we started to cross the bridge to the US and they were also not impressed and Matthew said "are we going shopping?"  So just before we got to the boarder on the US side I gave them each a Mickey Mouse luggage tag and told them to put them on their bags so that they did not get lost on the plane.  Matthew's jaw dropped and the first thing he said was "did you pack my bathing suit?"  Kade, well, he screamed with delight. So off we were onto our Disney/Florida vacation.

Oh I did manage to get in a great 7 km run first thing in the morning before we left with Heather.

Tuesday - Day 185 - First day in Florida and it was hot!!  Humid Hot.  My mom and I explored the neighbourhood in Titusville where we were staying - mom on a bike and me running - got in a 30 minute 5 k!

Wednesday - Day 186 - snuck out for a 5 k run first thing in the morning before anyone was up.  Then when I got back straight into the pool - what a great way to finish a run - the boys really enjoyed being able to swim anytime during the day or night - we are now on a mission to convince Sean to get one at home!!

Off to Disney tomorrow!
