Phys Ed: Week 2, Period 1 (Fri. 1/16)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Once again, students were back in a traditional gymnasium. This week, instead of mats, a large quarter-mile circle was taped off into three lanes around the perimeter of the room. In the center of those circles stood a Satedan with a clipboard. He'd managed to locate a whistle since last semester and was the picture of a high school coach. If coaches had dreads and wore dress shirts with jeans. Nope, no uniform for Ronon.

Ronon started talking as soon as he felt like it. "Endurance is about sustaining energy over time. Today we're testing your endurance while running. Dress out, pair up, and see how far you can go. Remember to stay with your partner: if they can't go on, neither can you. We don't leave people behind." Ronon glanced at his clipboard before looking around for one face in particular. "Anyone need anything, Worf's got the TA job this go-round."

Prince Edward had not yet broken a sweat nor was he breathing heavily. He broke out in song, actually, arms akimbo.

He was encouraging like that!

"I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss! The fairest maid, I've ever met...!"

. . .

Okay, Priestly totally hated this guy.

And his lungs were burning.

Edward might have noticed something odd about Priestly's appearance. "What is it? Do you need water, my good man?"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

If he tried to drink right now, he'd probably drown. Via glass of water.

Man, that'd suck.

Priestly managed a few more strides before stumbling to a stop and doubling over, gasping for breath.

This? This was why he didn't usually try to sprint longer than a couple seconds.

Concerned, Prince Edward moved over and attempted to place his hand on the man's back. "Deep breaths! In and out, in and out!"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

Priestly rolled his eyes and flapped one hand. "I . . . know that . . . Eddie . . . thanks. . . ."

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

Prince Edward placed his hands on his hips. "You should run more often!"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

Priestly was so tempted to flip the guy off.

But he kind of had a point.

"Yeah, well . . . priests . . . don't have as much . . . reason to run . . . around a lot . . . as princes . . . dude."

"You have a point! Ah-hah! Well then, no sense in breaking you! We shall run together again another day!"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[lovemykilt]

"Not broken," Priestly protested weakly, even as he let himself flop to the floor on his ass, still gasping for breath. "Just . . . outta . . . shape."

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"You do not look out of shape," he replied, not exactly looking Priestly over, but close.

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[lovemykilt]

"Gee," Priestly managed a smirk from the floor. "Aren't you sweet."

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

He laughed loudly. "Why thank you! I do try to be pleasant!"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[lovemykilt]

You had to respect the guy's complete imperviousness to sarcasm.

"Seriously, dude, how are you not even sweating?"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Sweating?" He was confused for a moment. "Ah, that is only when I exert myself, Priest! Running is nothing!"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[lovemykilt]

Priestly sat on the ground, panting slightly, and stared at him.

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

He smiled. "Ah, but it is lovely!"

Re: Partner Run [PE 1/16]

Priestly groaned and flopped onto his back.
