"Habit Forming"

Habits are a hard thing to break and that can be a good thing. If I can influence my grandchildren in any way it would be to help them form some good ones, especially around the things I love myself. I hope tht my own habits of physical exercise are strong enough now to carry me for the next several years. To each his own of course, but I'm pretty sure that in my case without this habit I would be dead by now.

On a more basic level I was listening to the results of a study done on Canadian youth over the last 7 years and it was shocking to say the least. The rise in serious health issues such as heart disease and diabetes in young adults is significant.

This evening we all went to the races again except this time it was only 1 km and as such was within Kylies range as well. Here are their "spooktacular" rewards...oh and mine as well.



And in support of what habits can do to you I gave you my running friend Burt. He is currently ranked number ONE in all of Canada for the half marathon distance in the 60-69 age group!!
