This morning I was awake right about 5:30am because I had managed to get to bed at a decent time last night. It looked like a beautiful morning out even though it was a bit chilly I decided to start my morning the way I used to all the time. Early morning used to beContinue reading “Early Morning Run”

Fitbit Observations
So far I’ve been wearing my Fitbit for almost three weeks and have come up with a few interesting observations about it. For the most part I really enjoy tracking everything and having a record, but at the same time there have been parts which have been depressing. My water intake is really good, IContinue reading “Fitbit Observations”
Make it a Dozen
Many things in life seem to come in twelves. The number really does seem to have a hold in our daily lives. When I wake up in the morning and look at the time it is in the twelve hour format. Most clocks analogue or digital have twelve hours. Continuing with time there are alsoContinue reading “Make it a Dozen”
Snowy Run
It’s been a couple days since I’d been for a run and I was missing it. The weather has been cold and snowing so I wasn’t looking forward to going out. Today I was missing it though and decided I needed to go out. Dressed up in a few layers and put on some ofContinue reading “Snowy Run”
First Real Snow Fall
It was forecasted for a few days now, so we knew it was coming, but we were still hoping things would change. Unfortunately it finaly hit and we now have a fair amount of snow on the ground. It’s still falling as I write this, but it slowing down and I think most of theContinue reading “First Real Snow Fall”
Christmas 2015
It’s amazing how much a difference a day can make. Yesterday was Christmas Eve, and it was a bit overwhelming. All the kids seemed to have too much stored energy and it was coming out and not always in the best ways. There was lots of bickering and arguing going on. It was a busyContinue reading “Christmas 2015”
Fitbit vs Runkeeper
For the past few days when I’m out running I’ve been tracking my runs with both Runkeeper and my new Fitbit Surge. Even if I was extremely happy with Fitbit’s tracking I would still be doubling up with Runkeeper at least until the end of the year when my goal is reached. The first dayContinue reading “Fitbit vs Runkeeper”
Getting Close
Sometime this week I will be hitting my goal of 500km in running. I’m really excited and even though it isn’t really a lot compared to many runners, some weeks it has been a battle to get my 25km in that I needed. This past week was one of them. I had started out withContinue reading “Getting Close”
Christmas Shopping with Noah
Today I was able to get out on my first shopping date with one of the kids for the year. We’ve started drawing names so each Jen and I take out two kids individually to pick out small gifts for their siblings and have a treat with Mom or Dad. We had some ideas beforeContinue reading “Christmas Shopping with Noah”
Stepping It Up With FitBit
Today I jumped on the FitBit band wagon. Only I won’t actually be on the wagon because that won’t up my step count 🙂 This is either going to be a real good thing for me or a bad one. This could be the push and the motivator for me to get back on track.Continue reading “Stepping It Up With FitBit”
