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 212 to 216 - Riding, Sand & Sunsets

Well this is our week at Grand Bend.  It is amazing how much time you have for fun and exercise when you aren't at home and don't have to work (well not work too much - I did have a satellite office to deal with a few projects that are on going right now).  The weather has been amazing and we have had lots of great beach time! Lots of fun paddle boarding and kayaking too!

Monday - Day 212 - Sean and I continued with our road riding and went exploring the area checking out some new roads.  We ended up getting in a 40 km ride.

Tuesday - Day 213 - today was my long run.  Have to keep up with Heather and her training schedule - she ran her 14 km on Sunday so this run has been looming over my head for a couple of days.  It was a hot morning and I had some company for part of the ride - Kade and Carter lead the way on their bikes - I actually think it made me run faster trying to keep them in my sight.  Run felt good and my knees did not hurt today!

Wednesday - Day 214 - another great day at the beach but the day started with a 20 k bike ride with Lesley and then a quick 5 km run. 

Thursday - Day 215 - unfortunately today I had to leave Grand Bend and head home for a couple of meetings.  So the majority of the day I was working or driving.  Once I got back to the cottage I took Kali, my brothers dog for walk through the cottage neigbourhood. Nice to be back!

Friday - Day 216 - got out for another road ride with my husband - another route and more kilometres.  Got close to 50 km - my iphone died just before the end so not exactly sure but I know we were close!

Well I am heading back to the beach for a couple of days - we are here until Monday!!!
