23rd post

We did the beep test today and i scored 11.2. I didn't do as good as last time (11.5) because i haven't done the beep test in a long time. But i did do really good with the stuff we had to do after. I learned that you can do alot better if you have a goal in mind. Instead of the regular 2 mins for the body bridge i did 4 mins. I achived this because 4 mibs was my goal.

Final Portfolio Assessment

Participation:

In class I have never forgotten my PE strip and for the times I wasn't present in class, I excused all of them with a phone call or a note from a teacher. During activities in class I always put an effort into being constantly active and to participate in in various games. My main motivation towards this is my goal to constantly improve myself in and out of school. Even times when I don't favor a specific game or activity, I still put 100% into what I'm doing.

Social Responsibility:

During class hours, I help out with setting up the equipment, whether it's setting up the nets for badminton, bringing the baseballs and bats when we go out in the field, or bringing out/ putting away the nets when we play handball. I do all of these things without being asked. I would say that I'm always positive and honest when we do an activity. I would always smile and laugh and never get into any arguments with anyone, or say how something sucks. Leadership wise, I think that I do encourage others during and after games. I say thinks like "nice one" or "hey man you're on a role" when I think someone did good. When I'm in the change rooms I give pats on the back and talk about the "highlights" of today.

Healthy Living:

When I receive my fitness scores they teach me what I need to work on and how I improved over my past attempts. Through out the year I've noticed that I improved physically. I can now run for longer periods of time and at a faster pace. I've bulked up quite a bit in my chest and arms, and maintained my current weight of 135 pounds. Concerning my after school activities, I go to my taekwondo classes on Sunday, play badminton weekly, go swimming and workout at the YMCA. I also take occasional walks on nice days. As for dietary choices, I have recently started to go to this website called My Fitness Pal, and it keeps track to how many calories, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates you consume every day. I've changed my diet to focus more on fruit and vegetables rather than meats and alternatives because I discovered that a male my age should have 8 servings of fruit and vegetables but I only consume 4 each day.  I've currently done nine post and motivated to continue and further improve my diet.

Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills:

At the moment I have 22 detailed posts on my blog with one or more pictures on most of them. I am still working on finishing at least 25 posts on my blog. I plan on putting more posts about things that I do outside of school like taekwondo. One current problem that I have with the blog is that I don't have video of myself, mainly because I don't want to be on YouTube. However, I do try to compensate for it with pictures.

Run: 

Our activity today was the community run. I ran with Richard and we got lost about 15 mins in. First we went to sullivan elementary, then we went to the ymca, then went alongside hw.10 and then came back. We ran pretty much the whole time exept when we went uphill. 

Our time:

Although we ran twice the supposed time, i felt great after the run. It's been a long time since i had a long run like that and i felt so refreshed... And tired. Even though it has been a long time i felt that i improved, my overall pace improved considering the distance. Today was a great day to run.

Capture the flag (forest):

Today for P.E we did capture the flag. I found this to not be fun and not a good workout. All i did throughout the whole class was walk around trying to find the flag. We even searched the forest for 40 mins, only to find nothing. When we came across the other players they didn't even chase us when we were in their territory.

Hill run:

In class today we went out to do the hill run instead of doing something in the gym because they told us that it wasn't very succesful plus it was a nice day.

In the end of the run i got 170 beats per min. I found it easier than i thought it would be up until we had to run up to the sidewalk. My legs weren't tired at all, the only thing that bothered me was the heat. I guess i could have run harder and sprinted every time but the heat got to me.

Soft ball:

We had the choice of either weightroom or softball and i went with softball since the weather outside was great. I thought it was fun, but not as fun as i thought. I was just standing around most of the time waiting to catch the ball (which i did do several times) but i don't think softball is prefered if you want to get a good workout in my opinion. I think i would have had a better workout if i went to the weightroom.

Went to richmond, steveston today with my brothers and cousins. We went on the biking trails for several hours and went to a local park afterwards then went back to the harbor. We came back with smoothies and frapachinos from starbucks which my aunt and mother gave us. It was the perfect weather for a ride.
