I have been succesful in preparing for class by always having my pe strip, never being late and bringing notes for absences. I think my average excursion level is around 6 to 7.5 on the beep test. To get at a higher level, I usually set a goal for myself and push myself out of my comfort zone but at the same time, i have an idea what level my body will be exhausted. I admit I'm not the fitess person in the world but I'm working on it step by step. I've never really been a long distance runner and since I have asthma, my endurance is pretty bad but I'm a sprinter, I just really need to work on pacing myself when I'm not doing short distance running. I contribute a positive attitude in class but honestly there are times when I don't want to do anything. I always help put away equipment and I can get along with a lot people. I make sure the rules are fair and I always encourage people when I see that they are struggling. My goals are to do physical activity outside of school since I don't have basketball this year, I need to find something else. I've been working out on wiifit and I'm planning to run for half an hour around the neighbourhood to improve on my endurance and pacing 3 times a week. For me, its like a war between my body and my mind. I feel like sometimes my mind makes me just think my body is tired but actually I could go on for much longer if I just tried. If it was for leadership and preparation, I think I deserve an A but since my fitness level isn't the greatest as others, Ill say I'm at a B. If I get lower than this, I think ill be even more determined to get better at my pacing and try harder to not let my mind decieve me.
Hazelle you are so cool and positive. I think your post nailed it. Your fitness and ability to get into that really intense zone for an extended time seems to be your only real hang up. You often say grumpy things to start class but must not mean them as you always find a way to get involved. :) Keep working little by little on your fitness... it will come.
