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 247 to 251 - Back to School

Well this is the week that it all gets back to normal, back to school, and back to normal.
 
Monday - Day 247 - the last day of summer holidays, spent the day getting ready for the first day of school - making sure all three boys are ready to go. We also got in one more swim and paddle in the Georgian Bay and I got in a great 5 km run with Lorraine.
 
Tuesday - Day 248 - an early morning and packing lunches - I forgot how much work getting ready for school in the morning is.  The day was filled with me getting back into a routine at work and getting organized to get lots done this September.  Sean and I enjoyed an end of the day brisk 30 minute walk to discuss the first day of school.
 
Wednesday - Day 249 - Got the kids off to school and headed out for a run- the weather is still so nice and I had nothing pressing for work so I thought I would get my exercise in first thing.  Took a run on the Collingwood trails near my house and pushed myself for a 7 km run - it was not easy this morning but I was glad that I got it in.
 
Thursday - Day 250 - not feeling great today - someone, the boys or Sean, must have brought something home with them from school - I have a sore throat and my lungs hurt.  Just ended up walking around the neighbourhood after dinner for my 30 minutes.
 
Friday - Day 251 - got a call at lunch from Lorriane asking if I wanted to run over lunch.  I had so much to do and knew that I had a busy evening so I took her up on her offer.  We managed a good pace - even though my throat still hurt - and sweated for  35 minutes.
