What a gorgeous day it is today – sun shining, snow finally melting! Not long now and we will have days on end like today. For now, many are enjoying the mountains and what our beautiful province has to offer – skiing on mountains overlooking the city, snowshoeing up to peaks, running along the seawall, biking along the ocean, even several sail boats out in the harbor today. We are so lucky to live in such a great environment and to have it all at our fingertips. Vancouver is such an active community that there is something to offer for everyone.

 

And what better time then now to start up a new fitness routine. On a day like today, it makes you want to spend the entire afternoon outside – hiking, riding, skiing, running, - whatever you choose. With spring around the corner, make sure you are preparing for all the events you want to do in the coming months by getting out and training. It’s easy to let the winter go by while staying inside bundled up. By staying on a regular fitness routine and choosing your goals for the year now, you will be able to plan in advance exactly how much training you need to do in order to get you there. There are tons of great events, races, hikes, etc coming up this summer – and before you know it June will be here. Take advantage of days like today to motivate yourself to get out and get active. Choose a goal for the summer and start training for it now – that way when June rolls around and your event is only two weeks away you’ll be assured that you’re ready because you’ve been training hard for the previous months.

 

We had a group meet this morning from Innovative Fitness for a brick training session of a 90 minute spin followed by a pool swim in order to train and prepare for the Oliver ½ Ironman coming up in June. It’s about preparation, and we are all preparing ourselves for success by training now – even on days that are not as sunny as today! If you need an idea for a great event to train for check out the Average Jo group page which lists off events for the entire year. We are going to be at multitude of destinations in the coming months – all over the world! And we want to see you there with us. Pick what sounds challenging and exciting to you, choose a program from MyPypeline to follow – and start today.

 

I’m off for a quick trail run – hopefully I’ll see you out there sometime!
