Fitness Day: Extreme Yoga

Today was fitness day and yet again we did an activity that would make me sore. It was okay despite myself not liking yoga in the first place. I tried so hard to hold some of those positions but it just wasn't working. My arms and legs were just not strong enough to hold myself for that long it some of them. Definitely not my best day but I tried so hard to push through and do the best I could.

Capture the Flag/Speed Ball

Today was a fun day. It started out with capture the flag. When I play this game I'm more of a defence kind of person because I don't like when people come running at me. I got a ton of people out and my shoes got soaked through by the end. Speedball on the other hand wasn't as good. I'm not a fan of any sport requiring a ball. I always get hit. I was elbowed twice and nailed with the ball right in the gut but I still assisted a goal so I'm proud of myself. Next time I'd rather stick to capture the flag....

Gym Progress Report

I feel my progress this year over last year has been a little slower then last year. Despite not doing as high as I did last year in the beep test or run as much as I could before, I still aim for the best I can do no matter what. Even though I'm not a leader, trying to instruct activities or boss people around, I try to listen to the instructions, even if I can't hear them over the other kids talking. Gym strip is my everyday clothes most of the time so there will never be a day where you have to worry about me not being in the proper attire. Overall, I will always try my hardest in this class even if some days it takes me to the point of dizziness because I know dizziness only means I have worked my butt off that day. My goal for the next beep test is too continue to work up until I finally reach to where I was at before, an 8.1. In general I believe I deserve a G in this class for not only my efforts but in my sportsmanship as well. Even if no one else thinks that way, in my heart I will always know I am.

Choice

For gym we had choice. Between the options of atomic volleyball, basketball and handball, I chose atomic volleyball because I really enjoy that the most out of the options. Though it was difficult to play in my Halloween costume, in the end I still was sweating a little. The problem I find the most with atomic volleyball is that the opposing team never seems to switch and it gets frustrating because we end up losing even though the other team isn't playing properly. All and all, I had a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again.
