New Year Intents (Resolutions)

HAPPY 2013.

Wow 365 days have passed and we are in the first day of another 365 days.  The New Year brings so much anticipation and hope for change.  In church on Sunday Ian suggested we use the word intent versus resolution as it more of an action word.  So what are my 2013 intents? 

Top of  list is to spend more time with family, friends and doing things I enjoy rather then getting sucked into the vortex of work.

The next intent to eat healthy.  The first part of this will be trying to plan my meals better which will result in a more regular eating schedule and lessen the overeating. 

To train as best as possible physically and mentally to prepare for the 2013 race schedule which is currently lining up as follows:

    • Zoot Open Water Swim, Peterborough - 4K
    • Syracuse 70.3 Half Ironman
    • GrandFondo Ottawa -170K bike
    • Friends for Life Charity Bike Rally (Toronto to Montreal)
    • Colburg Olympic Triathlon
    • Musoka 70.3 Half Ironman 
 and if I still have some gas maybe a full Marathon in October.

The other important intent is to wake up every morning and thank the universe for my family, my friends, my health and the life I have.  Thinking positively  before the vortex of work begins might just change my attitude towards it.  I do know early morning swim on Monday and Wednesday always makes the day seem better.

I hope you intents for 2013 come true.  If it is fitness then set a goal like a small 5K run and you never know where it might lead.  It might result in learning to swim and triathlon.
