Welcome back from the break! We are in the home stretch of the school year. One of my goals as your physical education teacher is to help you to gain an appreciation for the value of a physically active lifestyle. I hope that once you leave high school and enter college or the real world, you make time for physical activity. The health benefits are obvious but there are also social and emotional benefits to regular exercise as well. We will discuss those in more detail in coming blogs.
For this weeks blog I want you to find a community activity or event that involves physical activity. Make it something you would actually like to do, for example if you hate running, do not put a 5k down for your event. There are several opportunities for physical activity right here in our own community. Put google to use and find something that you would like to participate in and list it as your comment for this weeks blog. Include the link for you event in your comment.
For example, me and my wife along with several other teachers here at Wootton are going to run the Runamuck 5k. It is a 5k trail run with obstacles and mud thrown in and it is right here in Rockville.
Mine doesn't have a link, its just a church fundraiser 5k run we do yearly around some lake thing in germantown.

There is an informal dodgeball league in Baltimore that is more for adults but still sounds cool. It is just people who meet up and play dodgeball for a few hours every week.

ReplyDeleteWell I'm not sure if there's a website for this. But I do know that every DIII college has open tryouts on or before Labor Day Weekend. So i'll definitely be using everything you taught me over the semester to make myself stronger for that.

This is late but i participated in the wounded warriors hockey tournament. It is when you play with wounded soldiers that have missing limbs and you have a scrimmage with them. It was fun to see them have fun after all that they have gone through.
