Hey everyone, it's that time of year to start thinking and planning for 2013.
What is it you want to achieve in 2013?
What are you happy with from 2012? Did you do what you set out to?
Any goals or targets you might not have met?
It's a good time to start looking at the calendar and consider what events or activities you want to participate in.... especially with vacation picks going on!
A short list o events for you to consider:
IAFF Hockey Tourney- end of March??
Run/Endurance-
Spartan Race- 5k obstacle course (Aug 17 in Calgary)
Airdrie Mayor's Run- 5/10k

If you know of any other events worth noting let me know- like charitable
sports events, as I will start compiling a list on the blog for ppl to check
out.
The more heads up we all have and the more awareness of events the better
chance we have of ppl coming out- me included!
Take a look through the links and see what each has to offer, therre are many
different types of sports/events out there to get active, not just running!
If you need any help getting ready for any event or goal let one of our friendly neighborhood Fitness Committee folks know, hopefully we can help you on your way!
