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.

There is an introduction to self-defense course on April 25 that sounds interesting. I'll be able to learn how to protect myself from people I don't like.

I helped out with the mulch sale, working for 5 or 6 hours. We carried lots of heavy mulch bags, and I am interested in lifting so that helped.
