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 275 to 279 - 100 Miles

Well Thanksgiving is next weekend and we, Sean & I, are hosting 20 people for dinner.  We have decided to make it a 100 mile dinner - so as much of the food that we have for dinner has to come from within 100 miles of where we live.  It is potluck so I was pleased that everyone was willing to entertain my idea - I will let you know how it goes.
 
Monday - Day 275 - a great way to start the week with a tough workout at Active Life - the 21 to 9 workout - which is my favourite.  You have 8 stations and you start with 21 reps then reduce by 3 reps until you get to 9 reps - and it is timed so it is a bit of a competition - which I also love!
 
Tuesday - Day 276- today is turkey day - I mean I ordered our turkey - we have named him TOM - his is local and is still hanging out in the farmers field - now that is fresh!  I discussed all of my Thanksgiving plans with Heather while we ran 6 km after the kids were in bed.
 
Wednesday - Day 277 - got up early again to run with speedy Gonzales (Sarah) - I had a fixed window of time since Sean had to be to work early so we had to run in the early morning darkness.  Felt good to go fast and to get it over with first thing :-)
 
Thursday - Day 278 - another morning at Active Life with the ladies - a medicine ball workout - wow core!
 
Friday - Day 279 -  Kade was home sick with flu today - so I was stuck here all day and to be honest I did not feel that great myself.  So once Sean got home Matthew and I went for a brisk walk to clear my head.  Hopefully I feel better tomorrow I have 20 people to feed this weekend!
