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 205 to 209 - Kicking it up a Notch

Well this week was a busy one with getting ready for another week of holidays - heading to Grand Bend Saturday for a little cottage life!  Here is how the week worked out!

Monday - Day 205 - well this was a long run night - since Heather has decided to run the half marathon in October at Blue Mountain (I have yet to fully commit to the race - the training no problem count me in!) we have to start adding kilometres to our weekly long run. So tonight was a 13 km run - it is amazing how much easier it is to do it with friend - we were successful although my knees did hurt a little - need to keep an eye on that!

Tuesday - Day 206 - Today was an early morning workout at Active Life  - today was full of cardio and lots of strength - I love my Active Life workouts!

Wednesday - Day 207 - busy day with kids stuff and work so only managed a 30 minute brisk walk late in the day.

Thursday - Day 208 - another morning at Active Life - today was all about kicking tires, pulling ropes and working really hard - so glad I got up early today!!  When I got home everyone was still asleep so I went for a 6 km run - which was a wet one - got caught I a major down pour for basically the entire run - of course the only rain we have had for a month!  At least it was warm :)

Friday - Day 209 - today was our travel day to get close to Grand Bend - we went to London to deal with some tenant issues.  It was a long hot and rainy day in London and by the end of it I had not gotten in my 30 minutes - So Matthew and I headed to Walmart - yes Walmart - it was thunder storming so we walked in Walmart - we felt like those mall walkers and I am sure that the security cameras were having a hay day with us - back and forth up the the isles and around the outside loop for 30 minutes - we got it in just before closing!!!!
