Hey reader. Things have continued to go well since I've last posted. I have continued to work out as planned, and am even enjoying it. I'm even getting used to the "new format" my gym class is in. See, due to a scheduling error two classes of students (about 25-30 people) are in our relatively small weight training room at once, resulting in about a 30 sec. limit for each machine. As much as it sucked in the beginning, we're all starting to get the hang of it.
The real reason of this post was to report in a MAJOR change in our school's P.E. policy. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday should be (and are) days that my class spends in the weight room, and Tuesday and Thursday we our "cardio" days. Traditionally Tuesday is always really intense like some sort of cardio circuit, or more often some kind of track running. The following Thursday would then be much less strenuous. My gym teachers called it "options day" as we were able to play volley ball, basketball, frisbee, and things like that. As we were also given the option to walk the track I referred to these days as "leisurely walk Thursdays". It was my favorite day of the week, but we are now doing intense cardio days twice a week now (they haven rescheduled the walks).
At first when I realized my walks were becoming a thing of the past, I wasn't thrilled. I liked when I could just talk to my friends while walking at a pleasant pace. I'm now starting to actually appreciate them. My cardio conditioning has improved much faster than it would have otherwise, and I can still hold up a conversation with my friends while jogging. It's actually taken some pressure off my busy schedule, allowing me to just take the day off after school, and letting me get other things done.
So with the passing of one of my beloved high school traditions, I see it's for the best. Until next time, maybe you should reevaluate your routine.
