Runs in the sun.

All geared up.

My bad attempt to take a picture while I was running on the treadmill.

Final Term Report

The year passed by so quickly. I really did learn a lot this year about myself and about my body. Did I struggle? yes. Was I ever disappointed in myself? yes. Gym makes me feel very insecure because I hate the fact that I can't ever be that girl who got to level 13 on the beep test or who was first to come in after the community run. I'm that girl who's usually trying to catch up and out of breath after 10 minutes. It's really sad when I think about it -.- but its true and I know its not something to be discouraged by but to be motivated by. I feel like I'm the only one who's legs feel like noodles. I really admire people who have strong endurance skill because it's a skill that I'm still working on and it seems like it comes so natural to them. I find it crazy sometimes. I participate whether with gym strip or not and I do think that I'm a great leader. According to Neuf, its alright to be a b.i.t.c.h. when you need to be. He's taught me a lot. Although he's still trying to teach me how to relax, I mean reality wise. I'm not going to have someone to tell me to go for a run or work harder or just tell me what to do because it's me who has to do it. I have to motivate myself to be successful in fitness and the world outside of gym class. I can't let my mind make me give up. I have to stop making excuses for myself and make me feel like its okay when its not. I've realized that my body is my body and it won't change for the better unless I do something about it. It doesn't happen in one day, it takes time. There are days where I don't want to do fitness but recently I'm looking foward to it because I know its good for me. I'm not going to lie and say that I do 60 min of physically activity on the days when I don't have gym class. The most workouts I do is 3 in a week (some weeks, none) and they're really not that intense either. A lot of situps here, yoga there, treadmill over here and that's about it. I also run with my dog sometimes but only in good weather. I love running in cold weather, surprisingly I do better it in. The proudest moment of mine was when I finished the community run in under 35 min. I know that's not the biggest accomplishment but usually I'm one of the last ones. The most disappointing moment was when I gave up on the beep test thinking I was tired but I was tired after all, my legs failed me. I want to do good and I want to get better. My biggest goal and will probably one of my hardest is to continue working on my fitness in the summer. I really need to push myself in order to do so. I also want to work on my diet and put less junk food in my system. Pacing is the number one thing I want to work on. It's a long long long process but I know in the end it will be worth it, every sweatdrop and every sore muscle will be worth it. I think I deserve an A...hopefully you agree with me.
