The most frequently asked questions this time of year – did you make a new year’s resolution?
I am not one who makes new year’s resolutions, I am constantly making goals for myself throughout the year. I like to challenge myself and push for higher achievement. I know sometimes my goals are far reaching and might be impossible to achieve, but that drives me forward.
I am going on to my tenth year as a member of the Port Coquitlam city council. A lot has changed in the past ten years, including my role. I am proud to be the Mayor of Port Coquitlam, sometimes I have can’t believe that I am Mayor of the community I grew up in. That is the positive side and on the other side, in the past ten years my fitness level gone from excellent to poor.
This year as a family we have set a goal to get back into shape, with the main goal to run the Vancouver Sun Run and the Terry Fox Run. As many of you know, I am married to someone who has always maintained an excellent fitness level.
So, Erin is going to be Madison and mine fitness trainer. This will not only test her motivational skills it will also test our relationship.
I will post updates on this blog and my Facebook. Maybe if I am accountable to the community I will succeed in this goal. Wish me luck, I will need it.
I hope you have a successful 2012 and you reach for your goals and ask others for help along your path to success.
Greg
