Activity 2/2/22 (Learning Outcome 1)

 Yesterday was our first day of track practice and I was both nervous and excited. When we arrived there I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I was excited to see how many people we had signed up. Especially girs-enough so that we could have a relay. We started the practice by laying out the plan for the semester a little bit, then got straight to work with a 10 minute warm-up run. As someone who is used to running this wasn't too challening for me, although it is a little difficult to run in small circles inside our small gym. Nonetheless, we finished up the run then did some thorough stretching to make sure we all avoid injuries. After stretching we worked on form, because good form is the foundation of a good runner. These involved running through ladders and making sure our hands were in the right position. This took up most of the rest of practice time as we focused on making sure each person knew the corrections they needed so they could practice at home. The final part of practice was some strenght work that included push-ups, sit-ups, squats and other leg excersizes. The practice went by fast and I was really glad with how our day went. 

This activity falls under learning outcome 1. This practice was just the first of many, but I know that it is work to build the basis for getting stronger, faster and having good form. We also talked about the importance of commitment to the team. All of these are important to having a good team and to becoming the best that we can be. I look forward to more practices and improving my time in my races, and maybe trying out some field events too!
