Hey Everyone!

I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! 

I was looking through my posts over the past few days and realized that I haven’t mentioned EXERCISE at all!?  I started this site to talk about food and fitness so here ya go!

I don’t know about you guys, but my exercise cravings, much like my food cravings change with the seasons. 

In the Spring, when it is dull and wet outside, my elliptical calls my name.  It’ warm and dry – less mud!

In the summer I want to be outside - running, rollerblading, swimming or playing tennis.

When fall rolls around there is nothing better than going for a brisk hike with the bf and puppy!

And when the dreaded winter gets here, I again look forward to hopping on my elliptical in front of the television. 

The Office is my show of choice right now!

Thanks Google for the image!

However, if you remember back when I first started the blog I resolved to run the RESOLUTION RUN here in Ottawa on New Year’s Eve! 

Wow – that’s only 47 days away!  Where did this year go? 

Although the elliptical allows me to maintain my cardiovascular health during ”yucky” times of the year, it really isn’t a substitute for running.  I need to be outside, training in the conditions that I will be racing in.

So here it goes….I’m going make a pledge to get outside and workout at least twice a week between now and December 31st! 

I know that Angela challenged her readers to do the same as a part of Project Snow. 

I accept the challenge! 

Buy you should all know that, I’m dreaming of a GREEN CHRISTMAS! 

I never thought I would say that.   

Any ideas on staying motivated to get outside? 

Do you guys enjoy exercise outdoors in cooler temperatures?
