Training Log Archive: AdventureGirl!

yay! ARK!
Did a warm up run along the big trail.
Then some nav with Nina.
we then went up the hill and did some relays up the hill, and did this cool thing where you run to different stations and do the things it tells you to do. (push-ups, sit-ups, etc.)
then we went to the core station.
then we went back to the the 'base camp' and played Capture the Flag!
Didn't get at muddy as last time. But some kids got covered in mud!

Went rollerblading around the neighbourhood with my friend and the dog she was walking. I fell over a few times and almost rolled backwards down a tiny hill! ha ha! :)

Hardrock training event! It was so fun! 30 minutes isn't my actual time. I don't really know waht my real time was, but it's around that. it was about 2.5km and really hilly. went up a cliff that had a little crack in it and we got to go through it! :)

Yay! first night of ARK!
we did a nice warm-up run along a trail and i think in the first 3 minutes we were covered in mud! :)
then we split up into our groups and went to our stations. the first station we went to, we had to run around trees. ( you'd be surprised how amusing that is!) then we did a bit of hill training.
then we went to the Core station. we did As, Bs, and Cs! then we did planks and side planks.
then we went to the 1st station were we did some intervales. ( not sure how to spell that, sorry) ran up a trail and then patrick yelled to turn around and you couldn't let the fast people catch you. But on our way up the trail there was a huge mud puddle and that was when EVERYONE got muddy! one kid lost his shoe and couldn't find it! Now everyone knows him as" Shoeless Simon" !!! :)

im not having gym this week and next because we're starting a new health unit.

Today we played European Handball. It was so much fun! but i accidentally whipped my friend in the stomach. oops!

played bascketball. it was lame!

C • Is it difficult... 5

went swimming at Dalewood pool with my friends! It was really fun! Swam down to the bottom to pick up a diving stack and my ears popped! OUCH!

Went Orienteering at Sulphur Springs putting out flags for Parick.
okay, so let me list what funny/ painful/ stupid things i did:
well, i ran up a re-entrent to hang a flag at the top and i tripped on a barbed wire fence and fell over into the mud. i cut my knee and was covered from head to toe in mud ( that's a little exaggerated but whatever)
In the same re-entrant i was trying to climb up the side but, again, it was muddy so i kinda did the moonwalk down the hill
then coming down the re-entrant ( on the ridge at the side) i slid down, cashed into a stick/ tree and broke it then i crashed into a tree and cut my wrist.
then i got all muddy jumping over this mud slide thingy
and finally, when i was trying to go up this tiny hill; i jumped for a tree, but missed, so i was again running but going nowhere because my feet were slipping. I would have been a funny sight to see!
well that's it for know!

C • Thanks for the flags Advent... 1

Went on a Hike to the bottom of Tews Falls with Hammer, Etoile and GHO SLOW! First time I took my dad on a hike he hasn't been on!! HEE HEE!!! We rescued Spider Man at the Bottom. (someone had put a Spider Man costume at the bottom by the creek) The trail was pretty muddy at some points.

C • thanks! 1

Running at Scotchblock Bruce trail section! Found lots of crevasses and got cold going down inside and then got super hot coming back outside, so it was kinda weird! But, SUPER SUPER SUPER FUN!!!!!!!!

C • GRR Hint 4

Ran along the golf course, then along the trail, then went back to the parking lot and went up the stairs to the Bruce trail and ran along that. ran back to the stairs, went to the top, stretched, and went back down.

Helped move rocks in Trav's river! got pretty wet!

Went biking all around the area. ( the streets) and was too wussy to bike through the sopping wet fields of Churchill Park. Hee Hee!

Went hiking in the rain! saw Spencer Falls, Tiffany, Websters and Tews falls! Also saw the beat up road by Canterbury Creek! WOW!

Today we had Free Swim!! yay! Spent most of it in the shallow end trying to sit on a rolly log that whenever you try and sit on ,you fall over! Then went to the deep end and practiced diving! almost did a belly flop! HEE HEE!!!!

Did some wii fit. 30 second plank and 10 jacknifes ( it think thats what you call them)

Did a road run on Wii Fit because i didn't want to run in the pouring rain and also, I took a nap at 4 so i was still not that awake. anyways, the little box on the screen said i ran about a mile so yeah. But it's annoying, you run on the spot so to actually run somewhere, I needed to run in circles because there wasn't enough room where i was running! :)

TODAY WE DID SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!!!
We did knee dives and the jump were you have to try to not let your head go under water. Then we treaded water for a minute then we had free time. I REALLY hate it when you get water up your nose!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!! it happens all the time !!!!!! :(

Played tag and then did some other kinds of relay games... wasn't to enthusiastic about that! :)

It's really funny... in dance we always have an opener and it's usually using music from musicals ( Oklahoma, Sound of music, Bring it on, etc.) so this year we're doing Wizard of Oz! My class is being Munchkins but instead of doing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" were doing "ease on down the road" from The Wiz. It's funny because Michael Jackson sings it so yeah... :)

Played Basketball today...was pretty boring!

Went over to Churchill with Etoile and played some SOCCER!!!!! it was super muddy!!!

Went on a hike ( not really a trail run ) to the Dundas Peak with Sudden & familly and hammer and Etoile! IT was so FUN! Me and Isak were hiding from the rest of the group then we snuck upi on them! hee hee! it was great!

Played toilet tag ( ya i know it sounds gross but it's sorta fun) and then we played man on mars, then we played line tag ( were you can only move on the lines but it ,that was me, can move anywhere.) then we played dodgeball.
it was fun being it because you can sneak up on people and scare them! hee hee!

Went to the ARK meeting thing at Adventure Attic!!!!! Man there was a LOT of people! ( i caps locked 'LOT' for a reason!!) Tons of new faces! Can't wait for March 24th !!!!!!!!!!

In gym today we did swimming!!!!!!! it was fun. we worked on back-crawl and whip kicks! In total we only get 4 swim periods, but now we only have 3 because the lifeguar couln't make it :(
