Sports, Friday, Period 1

[brainfreediet.livejournal.com]

Class was back in the park today, and there was a large section of grass marked off with cones.

"I hope you're feeling good this morning, because you're going to be doing something a lot of people hated back when I was in gym class... You're going to run a mile today," Flash said. "We're going to be doing a couple sessions with track and field events, so why not go for a big one right off the bat?"

"For the record, the world records in the mile run are 3:43.13 for men and 4:12.56 for women. If anyone here has special powers, I'm sure you could break those marks. But this isn't really a regulation track, so it wouldn't set a record if you did, unfortunately."

"Before you get started, remember that the mile run is about endurance as much as it is about speed. Don't kill yourself sprinting at the start. Find a good pace and try to maintain it. And, obviously, you'll need to stretch out first to make sure you don't pull anything and have a terrible weekend because of it."

Like you just ran a mile.

Listen to the Lecture / Stretch

Flash is telling you all about the joys of the mile run! Isn't that exciting? Be sure to stretch, though, because you really don't want to pull something.

PLAY BALL!

There are no balls here.

Eight laps around the cones. Get to it! And have some fun out there!

And yes, Flash is running it, too. He wasn't going to set his personal best score, but he was going to help pace the students.

Okay now you can actually play ball

In the center of the marked off track, there were some soccer balls, footballs, etc for freeplay when you were done. Have some fun out there!

Talk to Flash

Who had a time worthy of his nickname back in high school.

My mile times really started improving once I had my driver's license and decided that if I really needed to travel one mile, there was a much faster way to do it.

Kathy didn't think she needed to stretch to run a mile anymore, but it was good habit to keep up with anyway.

Sometimes it was good to just run. Kathy finished her eighth lap in a little over two minutes.

Another lap as a cool down and then she was running again. It just felt good to let loose.

Yoga ball! Awesome!

Kathy was going to pounce on that like an oversized kitten and alternate doing yoga on it and trying to balance off the ground completely.

Four had already done his morning run, but another run wouldn't exactly kill him. He stretched his legs as he listened to Flash talk about the course.

Four wasn't trying to set any world records, but he was trying to beat everyone by just a little bit.

Shhh. He'd gotten used to being competitive.
