Tonight will be fun and a different experience for the family as we are taking the kids to a CC hockey game. Tomorrow I plan to resume my training with my new shoes in hand. But, after that, I plan to do as many outdoor activities as I and the kids can handle. As always the first weekend with no football to watch is a shock. And another bridge crossed for a child today.
Family
Kim wanted to do something new and different, so we decided to take them to the hockey game. We are under no illusions about being able to really focus on the game itself, but that's okay, the games are actually just fun events, and pretty family friendly entertainment, lots of dancing, cheering etc.
Saturday after my trip to the Y for a workout I plan to open things up for the kids choice to some extent. Although the goal is to take advantage of the nice weather and do as much as possible outside. So if the kids just want to go home after the Y we will do that but if that's the case my plan is to tackle the swing set. Sunday is still open, but I imagine Kim will have some ideas about what she wants to do, after my run of course.
James took another step in his growth and independence today. Rode his bike to school for the first time. Something he has been wanting to do, but first he needed to get a new helmet, then the bike lock he got for Xmas, then wait for the ice pack to melt off etc. Today everything fell into place for him to go, so off he went.
Training
Resumption of my running tomorrow, with 2 new pairs of shoes to alternate with. I am happy, actually only missed one session. I am not exactly where I wanted to be at the end of this month fitness and weight wise, but I have to be happy with what I have done, winter is just not an easy time to remain fit, and hard to make time for exercise. I know I'll get there, just keep it up, be conscious of my behavior and remain motivated.
Football and Televised sports in general
Glad to see the end of the season. Even happier to realize that I know there are other things I can do on the weekends than sit and watch sports. I love football, but to a great extent as I grow older I get happier every year when the season is over and I can turn my mind to other pursuits.
