5 kilometer training program, OMG! (The Practice Blog...)

So you came to the first class and found out you were going to have participate in a 5km run/jog/wog/walk/crawl (!) training program- I can only imagine what many of you were thinking. I can imagine that some of you were excited, some of you were trying to think of ways to get out of this class as fast as possible, and other of you were thinking that this is a great way to start a semester. No matter where your thinking was and is, it reflects many things about you as a person including your physical activity preferences, your motivation, your stress level, and potentially your physical activity level. All of these topics will be discussed in Chapters 1-3 in the PE manual over the next few weeks.

For this week's blog, type in 5 words or less (a sentence or words separated by commas) what your initial thoughts were when you found out you would be training to run a 5km. Remember that this is a practice post and that although it does not count for 1%, it gives you a chance to practice commenting and see what others have to say. (And don't worry, I'll bite the bullet and be the first to comment!)

Welcome to PE blogging for 1M1 Total Body Conditioning!

Hi!

If you're visiting this blog, chances are that you are in my 103 Total Body Conditioning class (on either Tuesday or Wednesday). This will be the blog that you will contribute comments to for the the next 10 weeks of your 5km training program. In addition, it will be kept up beyond the end of class for other physical education related posts/questions/ideas.

The purpose of this blog is twofold: to share ideas with one another AND to bring physical education online! Therefore, it will rely entirely on each student in the class to contribute his/her own original ideas!

For the purpose of this class, you will be asked to comment on 5 different blogs, with each comment being worth 1% for a total of 5%. You will have to comment sometime between Monday and Friday of the week that the blog is posted. The sooner you blog, the less likely someone will take your answer! Feel free to read through others' responses to get ideas and to help inspire you- perhaps you might even find that others are thinking the same as you or they might be on a completely different wavelength!

A new blog will be posted shortly- we'll use it as a practice blog so it won't count for marks, but it will give you a chance to try things out! Be sure to comment before Friday, September 9th at 5pm!

Tips on commenting on blogs:

1. Keep it to 1-2 sentences.

2. Be specific, give examples, and use the word 'I'.

3. You can choose to 'sign in' or comment as a guest- either way, make sure you name is somewhere in your comment so I can identify you and you can get graded!

Good luck and happy commenting!
