we ran for a certain number of minutes then walked for 1 minute. the number of minutes we ran is based on our average score of our beep test. I THINK my average beep test score is about 6 or 7, but i choose 6 since i've probably gotten 6 more times than 7 but that is not complete accurate. so since my average is 6, i did 2 minutes of running then 1 minute of walking. i ran with sarah, katia, and tulin. after we started running i realized i probably should have been doing 3 minutes of running then 1 minute of walking. i felt like i could do more, but i didn't want to overdo it. the point of the fitness was to know how to pace yourself. i did the same sort of thing last year where we try to do as many laps as we can in 25 minutes while learning how to pace ourselves. it had been a while since i did anything similar, the last time being during the summer. pacing has become quite easy and something familiar to me since i was taught it last year, so its not so hard for me to do.
the run was consistent, and everybody did great. i think everybody did really well, but that might be because we were running in groups. when you have other people running with you, you are kind of peer pressured to keep running with them. i dont mean peer pressured in a negative way, but your peers can effect that way you perform. and our small groups we were in, we were all about the same fitness level (referring to our average beep test scores). the run really wasn't so bad, but i probably could have run a longer time like 3 minutes running and 1 minute walking. but i think i still got a good workout.
i think i wrote enough, i cant remember what else we were supposed to write about but here's some pictures. im gonna go play dragon age 2 now.
