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 240 to 244 - Happy Birthday to Me!!

We are still in Vermont but we are now camping again  - could only afford two days of luxury at the Resort.  We are camping in Brighton State Park - in the hub of some amazing Mountain Biking.

Monday - Day 240 - well today Sarah, Heather, Rachel and I went and explored Kingdom Trails.  This is an area of some great mountain biking - I really enjoyed the ride and was surprised that it was not a technical as we are use to here in Ontario (we take it for granted that we live in an area with such amazing mountain biking only 5 minutes from home).  Well we rocked the ride and had a blast "pushing the pace" through some really nice single track!  We also enjoyed some locally brewed beer at the local pub after!

Tuesday - Day 241 - back to Kingdom Trails - this time with everyone - kids included.  We spent the morning at the pump track and then went for a family ride on the mountain bike trails.  Our kids did great and we surprised some of the other mountain bikers out for a ride that day when our kids - ranging in age from 8 to 11 -  whipped by them on a black diamond trail!


Wednesday - Day 242 - today was a rainy day so I joined the Buckrell Family on a shopping trip to North Conway.  So when we got back to the camp site Maeve and I walked around the camp ground to get in my 30 minutes.
 
Thursday - Day 243 - Today was pack up day - so my birthday started with a 30 minute run through Brighton State park with Sarah and ended near Brockville.  We got stuck in Brockville after almost getting taken out by a transport truck on the 401.  Not a great birthday but the good thing and the best present ever was that my family did not get hurt!
 
Friday - Day 245 - Today we made our way home - it was a long drive and we got home around 7:30 pm and I managed to get in a 30 minute run before going out for drinks - but drinks turned out to be a surprise birthday party.
