Me working out at home has been a mess this year ever since November. I usually go to the gym with my dad and my friend but lately things have changed I hope temporarily. My dad has gotten extremely busy over the months and he has no down time for anything but work work work. He says it is only until summer starts then thing will be normal again. Going to the gym is fun for me since I get more fit and at a rate I want. Even if My dad wasn't busy i doubt i would be going to the gym often at all. I usually only have time for the gym during the summer since because of school and homework. The only i have been working out is through fitness day. Even that has been sidetracked lately. Since we have a festival or used to we had to skip gym dates to practise with the other band. Things have only got normal during the last weeks of school. My workout schedule is just messed up for most of the year. Ugh this has to stop soon. One time for a worm up for a game day Mr Vaughn had us go back and forth doing various things with a partner. So for the final one we had to do Mr Vaughn said do what ever you want. So O thought of something no one was going to do let alone think of it. My partner was Chris and i said to him let me carry you back and forth and he said yes.when i was doing it and people were staring at me with open jaws and some even stopped what they were doing to look at me. It was fun for me but not Chris doesn't me ever to do that again,it was dizzying for him. That was probably going to my most memorable moment in gym and possibly grade 9 other than carrying Ralph to the theatre. Overall fun memories for me.

Update
A while back we for a couple of days went outside did our own games with my friends and I and the girls. We for most of the time played capture the flag. For most of those days we did CTF and it was usually except a few times girls vs boys. The girls did a smart tactic. Their tactic was to wait and play defence and attack later. They did this knowing that most of the guys were going to do a stupid thing by all rushing and getting caught and only leaving a few(mostly me) or none behind to defend. The girls of course destroyed the charge since all of them stayed behind. With their sheer numbers they took at all of them and left me by self to defend. Not an easy task at all. I tried my hardest and the ones i did catch kept getting bailed out but the others since i had to defend 2 spots. We were destroyed and when we started over the rest of the guys tried the failed plan over and over each time. The girls played a very well though out game, while the rest of team mates played like disorganized testosterone boosted preteens. We sent on with our losing streak until the girls said lets playCalifornia kickball. We said yes and it went into girls vs boys and this time the tables turned around. We dominated this time since we tried to hit the ball far as possible and while the girls played a safe and sorry game. They didn't try to hit the ball hard but to lightly nudge it forward. The girls got a couple of points while we got a lot. The ones who did score for the girls tried to hit the ball hard. I don't blame the girls or call them being inferior I even used to play a safe and sorry game as well. I only scored points when i tried to hit as hard as i could. I had really enjoyed doing our own games by ourselves and I hope we could do this more and more. I feel this couldn't have happened without the girls. They usually put the hardest to get the game together. As i was saying before hope we have more of this.

Update
Today we did atomic volleyball. A version of volleyball that is missing the skills of volleyball. I was paired up with Nicholas Andi and Jason. We never moved our court we kept losing. Probably since we had a hard time staying organized. We were supposed to move once but we let the others move on. They had 5 people while we had 4. They got extra points because of that. Once we realized that we told them to take one person off. They weren't agreeing at first but they finally said yes. We said negate the points before and do a redo of everything. They said yes and at the end we had one more point. We said we won but they some how counted the points they got with the fifth man on. I said to the rest to forget it, I didn't want to argue with them since they would deny it and gold up the process. The weird part of the entire thing was that when one person was left and everyone else was eliminated there was one person on. Jason. I don't know how that occurred but I think Jason probably knew what to do or we just did a lot of mistakes and Jason didn't. I prefer the original volleyball better and I would not like to do this again. The bright side I think is that we got a record. The most time spent at one court, the entire gym block. Hey you can't win em all.

Trip cancelation
Today we were supposed to go to band but the band trip was canceled. So we went to gym instead. I wasn't so worked up about it since I wasn't going anyway. We were going to do the community run on that day, since almost everyone thought today was going to be band they didn't have gym strip. So most of us walked it since who could run in jeans and tight and sneakers. I was wearing kakis and Jordans. Do you know how hard it is to run them. Not that easy. So I walked it. I did jog a little bit specially the hill, so much fun. Even though I walked it I did speed walk it and tried to get the most out of it. I am still upset about my beep test score. In the past beep test I got scores less than my record 8 at the end of grd 8. My first one I had a headache and I pulled out early my head got to unbearable. The next one was disappointing, I had a an almost 7. The next one I forgot my gym strip in my science class. Since it was the sewing room no one was in there at lunch. I couldn't get it. When the sewing teacher came to unlock it my bag wasn't there. My science took it with her and I didn't know were she was and the beep test was finished. One of my most favourite fitness days was when we did the relays on the field. The warm up wasn't fun at all, it was difficult for me. The people in my group were Richard and Abishake. They were behind me so I didn't have the time to recover fully. Even though it was difficult I still tried my best. One time we did the relays around the pond. My group was the 2 Calebs and Will. I was one of the slowest lappers in the group. Even with this I believe I did pretty well. Recently we did capture the flag and during it I did many runs into the other side even making it into the safe zone and the flags. I also played defence for a while and I did keep one of the faster ones in our side until one of the faster team mates came to take care of them. At the end Arjun and Abishake told me I performed the best. I don't want to toot my own horn but I do say I did a mighty fine job. I have been the worst at putting proof on my blogs. Always when it is fitness day I say to my self the day before to bring my ipod and take pictures and videos. But to no avail I forget on the day. I hope I can take a couple of pictures and videos before it is to late.
