Bean bag pond run

On Tuesday we did a more training type of activity. It was the pond run with the bean bags. It was actually Really Tirering if u tried your hardest. I didn't go 100% the  whole way around because I know that you can only run your max for 45 seconds before you get tired. So i kept a good pace but still tried to go faster everytime. I enjoyed it, because we got breaks, which we indeed needed, and to be honest I was still very out of breath even though we had these short rests. I liked how my team (Ryan, Kevin, and Seth) were so supportive of me, it really helped get me going when I heard them shouting "go roya!" And yelling positive comments. We all gave eachother high fives after our individual laps! Having a positive team was great! I didn't like the fact that I saw so many people sitting, I stood the entire time even though I was very tired. All in all I really enjoyed Tuesdays fitness! And I hope if we do it again I will bring my phone to pe so I can time my laps. 

April 23 2014 fun class:)

Today and pe I learned to work as a team and to be aware of your surroundings. I didn't really enjoy our last game because no one was paying attention to who's pins were being knocked down or listening to instructions. I hope they also blog about how they should have listened to instructions so the game would have ran smoother. Our first 3 games were so fun. Linking arms in monkey ball was way more challenging than it seemed. We all had to work as a team and sometimes numerous balls came flying at us and we tried going desperate ways, which definitely did not work. It really was a team game. And In tails, we learned about sharing:) even though we are stealing other peoples tails which is quite ironic, because in the end we end up giving those tails to our friends to save them. Although some people were just snaching like 10 tails and not sharing. I actually had so much fun in class today and it was a great workout as well:)  

Today i spent three hours at the y doing personal training, and dance with my bestfriend aashna! This is our dance, enjoy :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gbm3qjv3us&feature=youtu.be

Flexibity improvement this past month

I used a flexibility work out one day in the weight room, and learned a couple of stretches from it. I then continued my stretching in the studio at home and again today in the weight room. Before I started stretching I was no where near my middles and I was close to having my right splitz. Now I have both right and left, and I almost have my middles. Once I get my middles I will continue on another goal, which is to work on core strength. I don't enjoy doing crunches, but I find they work really well! So I will continue to do those when I work on my core. Any how, that's a little post to show my progress since a couple months ago.

Community run April 15th

I got 31 on the community run today which isn't very good, but what can I say I guess I'm not much of a runner! I'm going to set a goal to work on my running, and try to get my minuites up :) I was although very tired after completing it.

Blisters and bruises all over my feet and legs from training today:(

Long day

After a very long day of activity and a lot of dance and skating I finally reached home and get to relax! I learned even when ur in pain and tired sometimes you just have to push yourself to the limit! So pumped for my dance performance Tom! And a hot shower helped ease the pain in my leg so I'm ready to go! :) 

Today I had 3 dance rehearsals all before 3rd period. I then couldn't participate in the hill run because I hurt my self doing the splitz.  Mr neuf told me to do something productive and be a leader instead of doing pe. I did science homework instead and helped my friend with hers as well. Now I have to attend another dance practice that is manditory and a figure skating practice :( hopefully I make it through with my hurt leg  

Today is pe we played speedball! It was very intense and tiring! But a lot of fun if u passed the ball to everyone and kept a smile on your face! Team white wasn't winning but it was okay because towards the end we learned that passing the ball to everyone was a great strategy and we scored a lot of goals at the end! It was a very positive, and friendly game! I would love to play it again. 

On Monday we had to self organize a game of capture the flag! It was very frustrating because many were talking at the same time! I learned that you don't have to just organize the game to be a leader, but listening to whoever is organizing the game shows just as much leadership! I participated and had a lot of fun during the game! And displayed my listening skills:)  

Last night I had a late 3 hour dance practice! I pushed my self really hard and I feel really good about it! I think that took a lot of personal strength and I'm proud for pushing my self! :) 

It's was nice to have a quick chat with mr. Neuf, Vaughn, athwal and Davis at the arena today. Unfortunately after u left mr.neuf, I injured my back really bad trying to do a scorpion spin. Ouch. Hopefully I be back on the ice next week! 

Just got home from my 4 hours dance practice I'm exhausted time for a healthy snack and a good sleep hopefully:)

Dodge ball

Today in pe we played dodge ball! It was super fun! Everyone participated and I noticed that no one in the class cheated. We have a very honest and kind environment in our class and I love it! I can't wait to play again!
