Community run

     I think that I did great on the community run. I kept at a very hard jog at all times except at the crossings. I came a 5 out of all the gym classes and was the first grade 9 again coming at 19 minutes and 17 seconds! When I was running by stomach hurt very bad but I kept on pushing myself and now I think I have gotten more fit. I felt very tired and will try to come at 18 minutes and 30 seconds next time. If all of this does not win you over, let me tell you that I beat Richard and came after Will. I felt like next time I just need to leave the door more quicker and cross faster so i can save some seconds! I did great today and feel like I will do better as we progress into fitness more and more.

Need more upper body strength

   I will start lifting weights now because I know that my legs are very strong and can lift 3x the amount that my hands can. I feel like I really need to start eating more because I am not very heavy(120pounds). I feel like this will help me in many other ways as well because on some tennis shots you will be forced to use your muscles and I need to get some upper body strength to climb up the ranking more and more.

Got My New Shoes

   This Sunday we went to Vancouver and I got my new tennis shoes, they are the same but in a different color and I really like them and that they are very durable and have a lot of stability.

Dodgeball

Today we played dodge ball and how I helped myself participate and others participate is by giving balls and helping others so that they don't get hit by some of the powerhouses in our class. I was brave and tried to make the game more amusing by risking me to get out by getting the balls. I stayed as a team player and learned one more thing that I can be a leader.

Tennis Shoes wrecked

 So I had the barricade 8 and they got ripped in 7 months! I did not play tennis for 2 months due to injury and going on a vacation to a very hot place. So now that they are ruined I have to get new ones. Maybe I should get 2 pairs, one for training and one for matches because I burn through the most durable shoe brand in the sport.So it took me 5 months to rip through them. Maybe I should play tennis on better courts so they last a little longer. I play 2-6 hours depending if it is sunny outside or not. If it is sunny I play 3 hours with my brother and then I play 3 hours with my dad. If it is getting dry from rain we will go and play for 2 hours so we have less chance to get injured. #LOVE FOR THE SPORT

The dances

 So when we danced I learned that I was brave to try something new and get out of my comfort zone.I also showed a new leadership aspect of me by showing my friends and we each commenting on each other. I think that week was a very fun week for gym class.
