End of the Year :(

It's hard to think it's now the end of the year and Get Fit will soon be over. I am going to miss all the new friends and experiences I made throughout the year and mostly the improvements I made over my physical fitness.
Get Fit has been so beneficial to my life and I created habits that I will carry as I get older. After using the Nike fitness app., I went home downloaded it and now use it whenever I feel I haven't done quite enough in P.E. When I want a full body exercise or want to do some stretches with Shawn Johnson I log on and I earn my medalions.
This year, even though i have not accomplished all of my goals, I'm getting closer to reaching them everyday. To me that's more important than quitting and giving up. I'll continue to practice my running and work on my cardio and hopefully i'll get to my goal of running for 30 minutes without stopping.

I have gone snowshoeing once before and I've got to say that it's something I wasn't planning on doing again. But trying to be a trooper I decided to go snowshoeing with my get fit class. Expecting to be cold, exhausted and utterly miserable, I started the snowshoeing negatively. Hopeing that 1 hour of snowshoeing would casually turn into 15 minutes I sighed and thought, "Why did Ms. phillips have to tell her we're in get fit! Now she's making us run up mountains of snow!"
We ran and ran and ran around flower lake, me awaiting and wondering if we were very getting a break. Then through the breathing and panting my friends and I began to joke around and it got easier. We finally got a break and before I knew it snowshoeing was over. At the end the guide asked why its important to do outside activities with a friend. I being a resident of surrey replied,"So creeps don't steal you away into the night" This was a good point but the guide replied," Friends can be great motivators and something you don't like can become a hobby if you have friends." That was pure truth as I had just learned that friends make a lot of things easier.
