It was nice reading Gaby's blog, I found that most of her physical fitness/activities are not new to me because I hear a lot about it at home.  I'm surprised that she has not blogged about the Vancouver Sun Run.  It was Gaby's second time joining the Sun Run, her first time was a mini 2.5k for kids.
She could have also talked about her Assistant Water Safety Instructor Course that she took last year in November and shared her learnings and discoveries as well as her interaction with the kids she helped teach.

I'm pleased with the progress she is making in terms of physical fitness and healthy lifestyle choices.  As Gaby had mentioned in her blog, she tries to be mindful of being active and eating healthy even when we go on vacation.  Last year, we went to Vegas for 5 days and though we ate restaurant/fast food, we were able to compensate our "unhealthy eating" with walking every single day.  Not once did we take public transit or rented a car.  At the end of the trip, we did not feel guilty at all.  In Hawaii, we had home cooked meals and though we ate out quite a bit, Gaby's cousins definitely kept her active.

I think Gaby can improve more by regularly updating  her blog,  making it more interesting by showing videos and photos, talking about her food choices, the little things that she does at home that adds to her physical activity, and how she plans on incorporating physical fitness into the summer months. Gaby has been accepted to volunteer at the YMCA and we are hoping that she will get started on it as soon as possible.  She's also planning on volunteering in the Surrey Rec Centres.  There are quite a number of things that Gaby could write on her blog.

Overall, I enjoyed reading her blog.  I give it a 20, because I know that she can still push herself a bit more by sharing what goes on in the present and her short term (and possibly long term) fitness goals.  This blog is a good venue for her to look back in a few months/years how far she has gone in reaching her goals.
