New Years Resolutions

I need to think about this over the coming week and think about my resolutions. I did hot yoga this past monday and am still really enjoying it. I am going to go again today. This morning I swam about 2200 m which is a little longer than I have been swimming and I did some longer sets of 400m followed by 100 IM. I did that 3 times plus a 500 m warmup. Then did a 200 m cool down.

The New Years resolutions I can think of so far are as follows:
1. Since I am not doing an ironman in 2010, to do a least 2 half ironmans.
2. If I happen to qualify for Clearwater World Half Iron Championships, to go to that.
3. To do more PEI Roadrunner races in 2010.
4. To do the Cycling PEI Mother's day time trial.
5. To do the Thursday night Cycling PEI rec rides in 2010.
6. To become more flexible (physically)
7. To do the Red Island relay solo again. (I did it solo when it was the red cross relay)
8. To do the Souris Relay again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A weekend of parties and a little exercise.

I survived my big Christmas party weekend, although I feel like I am coming down with a cold and I feel generally groggy. Friday night I went out to dinner with my friend, Greg Smith who was visiting from Boston. Saturday morning, I was up as usual and headed to the Spa for spin class and some exercises and stretching. I always enjoy having to get up for that, even if I have been out late. We went to the Farmer's market and then went for drive to Cavendish and had lunch at the Pearl Cafe. We also went for a short walk on the beach. It was then back to town for drinks at my house with some more friends and off to Greg and Corena's Christmas party. Sunday morning I went to the gym and ran 4 miles on the treadmill and did some stretching. Sunday afternoon was another Christmas party at Mary and Laura's followed by a party at Chris and Craig's. I got home at about 8 pm last night and went to bed early.

This morning, I swam at 7 am and did about 1800 m. I did a bit of IM and some sets of 300 and 200 metres.
