Check this out…3/20/07... 8 :07 EDT p.m. …The Vernal Equinox…Spring season officially begins in the East. Excellent. This is a blessing because temperatures are rising, the trees will start to come to life and you’ll hear the early songbird’s melodies to reign in the dawn of a new day. Lovely. You know what else? If you missed getting your 2007 New Year’s resolutions underway – then why not mark tomorrow - the first day of spring - as day one of your resolutions. That can work for you and I can’t it? Certainly!

For me, I was planning on jogging again which I was doing on a regular basis until it got cold in southern Ontario, Canada, in late October. November rolled around and I just couldn’t take running in the cold so I was working out indoors. I was missing doing laps around my old high school’s track. However, I can make no excuses for shutting it down (the regular healthy heart exercise that running in the afternoons afforded me)… I got lazy in during the winter months, sad but true and I blamed the weather. Shameful.

So now, I look upon a new beginning, on all fronts…the first day of spring – which now for me is the first day of getting back to running, now in NYC… I drove by a local high school the other day. They too, had a similar facility. It looks good. It looks like my new digs. The resolution will hold true. I will continue to run, to exercise, to eat right and get some well-deserved rest.

Have any resolutions that went astray? Get back on track (so-to-speak). Just do it. START TOMORROW as if it were January 1st, 2007!

Tell us about your spring resolution!

Happy Spring!!!
