We started this blog one year ago, following the 2011 GCWCC 5km run, which Alex participated in with his colleagues at work. It's for a good cause - raising money for the Government of Canada's United Way charity campaign.
On October 11th, Alex participated in the 2012 GCWCC 5km run (also known as the GCWCC Wellness Challenge). It was a colder day this year, but the sun was shining as the runners moved along the Ottawa river parkway. Alex ran with Tyler (a veteran from last year's run) and Kelly. The team managed a respectable time of 28 minutes - and had a good time throughout the run.
Not only was the run a great chance to get active for a good cause, but it allowed us to reflect on the last year and what we've accomplished in our fitness. We've had hundreds of workouts, overcome injuries, set new personal records, and taken up new fitness activities (e.g. swimming).
Our next fitness goal is preparing for the HKC kettlebell certification, which we have signed up to do in Toronto in early December. This is another milestone on our path of fitness and healthy lifestyle and will help us improve our kettlebell knowledge, form and give us the tools and techniques to officially train others. We are really excited about this course and are looking forward to all of the fitness challenges and endeavours in the upcoming year!
