Activity I'd like to try in the Summer

I have always liked playing team sports, Hockey, Baseball, and Badminton Doubles, I'd like to try a sport where if you lose, you can truly feel like it's your fault or your accomplishment. Although I never had too much appeal in Golf, I'd like to take it up. I could never hit a ball 300 yards, and I probably couldn't put the ball in on a 5 foot putt. But you have to start somewhere. I understand it isn't the most physically grueling sport in the world, but it beats sitting on my bottom, watching the Masters on TV. 

Goal Outcome

I have reached the long awaited end of P.E. 12. It was a fun journey, but it's time to say our good-byes, and reflect on my time with the class.

At the beginning of the term I had made set goals for myself to accomplish and in the time frame that I was involved in this course, I really did accomplish for myself some very confident results.

I expected myself to do 20 Push Ups, by the end of the course I was able to do 35.
I expected myself to do 40 Sit Ups, by the end of the course I was able to do 25, but my best was 34. It wasn't quite my expectations, but as I sit there and try to do 40 sit ups in 60 seconds, it's quite difficult to maintain that speed. So I am proud of my accomplishment.
I expected to do a 1'30" plank, which my first plank I was only able to hold myself up for a mere 30 seconds, by the end of the course I was able to accomplish a 1'25" plank. I fell short of my goal, but for a guy my size, I am perfectly happy of that feat.
Being able to run a kilometer without resting was a farfetched idea coming from my physical appearance, I regret to inform my blog that I never tried the feat. Although I did rollerblade up hill from 8th Street, to Griffiths Street and Edmonds which is about 4km all up hill without rest.


In the end you look at my goals and think, only 25% of my goals, but in the beginning, I improved in all my times, and scores. So when I look back at my experience in Physical Education 12, I truly had a great time, and perhaps in some more time, I will beat all 4 of my goals, and perhaps make some ambitious new goals!

MMA #4

Being the fourth class trip to the MMA studio, 2nd myself, It was fun to learn new techniques escaping headlocks...  I did however injure my neck which bothered me for a couple of days, but in retrospect, it was worth it. Goldy was a great teacher and involving every student in the martial art sport was amusing and fun at the same time. Being paired with Drew was an advantage and disadvantage at times, him helping me learn the techniques further, but also getting my ass thrown to the floor was an experience as well...

All in all, it was a great experience and I definitely recommended the place to several of my friends who are interested in taking up Martial Arts
