The Tuesday

Tuesday started out sunny and wonderful. Then came fitness, which was the tough mudder. Admittedly this wasn't my favourite and it sort of went downhill after the first part. My team did well for pushups, dips and leg lifts, the hill climb was fairly good, but afterwards we were confused and questioning what we were doing. Asking a teacher could have probably helped, but I don't think there was anyone nearby. We completed the stair run thing fairly ok, and leap frog was kind of low key, but we ran out of time and stopped a little early. This is not my proudest fitness day and for next time I would definately focus on motivating myself and my group members more and getting more into the activities, the evidence and videos for this are on Anastasia's blog, since I can't have pictures of my face on my blog or anything connecting my full name to my face or location. 

After school I had cross country with Brittany. I have been doing cross country since the 3rd run and my goal has been to not walk throughout any race, so far I have done well at keeping with this goal. I haven't walked yet. The race on Tuesday was our best so far, I got 9th place and Brittany got 11th. It was a fairly small group and they put senior and junior boys and girls together so I don't know if those places are actually that much of an achievement, but it felt pretty good and there were atleast 15 junior girls maybe a little more. So 9 out of 15 or more sounds pretty good to me. This race was 4.8km, our next race is this Thursday (So today) and its 5km. I'm hoping to stay mentally strong and keep my record of not stopping and hopefully get an even better placing than last time.

Cross Country wasn't the last thing on my list for Tuesday, once I got home I still had to do my paper route. Usually I can finish my round in 1 1/2 hours, but since it was late and my mum wanted me home in time for dinner I had to complete it as fast as possible. My solution for this was to try to not stand still AT ALL! Which I managed to do, until the wheel on my cart stopped working and I had to drag the thing, but I still got my time down to 1hour and got home by 7. I had started at 5:57 and the last paper was delivered at 6:52 then I just had to walk home. 

I was proud of myself at the end of the day, maybe fitness wasnt the best day, but I still did pretty well in cross country and got my fastest time yet for paper route, and managed to get home in time for dinner. All in all I felt it was a very successful day with lots of fitness efforts throughout the day even if the actual school fitness wasn't my proudest moment. Pictures will be up of times and the ribbon I got for cross country as soon as I can find it, (Its somewhere on my phone, or ipod, it think... shhhh) 

This is Jaskiran and I doing the push-ups for fitness.

Jaskiran and I doing dips for fitness, I think most of the videos are filled with my ongoing commentary of... ummmm... lets call it life, yes that works... for the most part.
