Personal Reflection: My Hydration Log

Improved Essays
Overall, I believe that my hydration log was very solid, but my nutrition log still has some work to do. Over the time that we had to fill in our hydration log I made sure to keep up to date. As a result I could see how much I was drinking and that let me know how much more I needed to drink or if I was on the right track. Because of that, I was able to have the right amount of water everyday, which was very healthy for me. Also, I could tell a difference in my physical performance, mood, and body. I just felt better. Unlike my hydration log, my nutrition log still has some work to do. I made sure to fill it out everyday because I have always questioned how I eat. I found out I was consuming far too much oils and not enough of everything aside …show more content…
On the second test of the year my score was 107. However, I was hoping to have my score at 110, but 107 is still solid. My goal for the next pacer that I run will be 120. That is 13 more than my last score, but I believe I can achieve it with a lot of training. I will be running everyday after school, around neenah until baseball starts in the spring. I will be running 4-7 miles a day depending on how I am feeling. I will be running at a moderate, talking pace. With the training that I am going to put in I should be able to achieve or even do better than expected. Also, I really do enjoy running which is one of the reasons why I joined cross country in the spring. Overall, cross country changed me as a person, both physically and mentally. I found out that running was a great way of clearing my mind and just thinking in general. Whenever I run I feel like a can think so much easier and I have no anxiety whatsoever. But, there is also a physical aspect of running that I like. I like to be able to see my improvements when I run-whether that is a new best on a 5k or a new score to beat on the pacer. I just can’t have enough running in my …show more content…
On the pre test my curl-up score was 43 and it improved to 47 on the post test. On the other hand, my push-up score went from a 25 on the pretest to a 28 on the post test. My goals for the too different test are as follows. For curl-ups I would like to score a 55 or better which will be achieved if I do my ab workout that I created after we finished weight lifting. I will make sure to do that workout everyday at a very hard intensity. I would like to get 35 or better on my next push-up test. In order to obtain that goal I will make sure to do my upper body workout from the workout sheet that I made after weight lifting after school, at the YMCA. I would also do the upper body workout at a very high intensity for about one hour a day. By making these goals will be improving my physical fitness and continue to improve in the different sports that I play. Furthermore, I have always had the goal to because physically stronger. I have always been kind of weak and lanky which I am trying to fix. Not only have I been lifting during class but I have been lifting at the YMCA as well. While all of that training seems like overkill I have seen my strength scores go up and my body is in good shape. Lastly, I make sure to stretch a lot which will be mentioned in the following

    Three years ago, as a freshman, I decided to join cross country. This decision has shaped my high school career through the friends I chose to the activities I participated in. Cross country is not an easy sport, though. It requires physical endurance, but more importantly, the mental strength to push past and overcome the obstacle of pain. By sticking with this sport, mental toughness has permeated who I am and helped me go beyond the standards and work my way through trivial challenges and huge endeavors alike.…

    Twenty meter sprints are an applicable fitness test for the chosen fitness components because it is able to determine acceleration, maximum running speed and speed endurance. However these aspects vary depending of the distance tested over. Vertical jumps tests are effective when testing the strength of the leg muscles as you are required to jump as high as you can from the push from your legs. In order to reach the fitness goals and improve and maximise test results, at least four to five training sessions need to be implemented to achieve noticeable results.

    From my last 3 years of running cross county I have learned a lot of things. One is that you should never give up, second is that if you work hard enough then you can achieve whatever you put your mind to, and third is how you can go from disliking something to loving something. How I've learned these things from cross county is when I first started cross country, my sophomore year I couldn't run to save my life. Coach would always time us on how fast we could run two miles and I would always be last and be so far behind everyone else which was quite embarrassing but I couldn't help it I had just started and I'd never ran before in my life, at my very first meet I couldn't even run the first mile and I ended up having to drop out. After that I didn't like cross county at all because I wasn't good at it…

    One year ago today, the first ever Greeley Cross Country Championships was hosted, a 5k race at Josephine Jones Park between the five high schools in Greeley, Colorado- Frontier Academy, Greeley West, University Schools, Northridge, and Greeley Central. Last year Frontier placed first at the meet in the boys race. However, since then their top runners graduated and the Central boys became a real threat to many teams. Although today was mainly a way for Central to come out on top, I wanted redemption from the poor performance I gave at that race. Last year.…

    As a year-round student-athlete, balancing classwork and academics with training has been at the forefront of my entire high school career—freshman to senior year. Though the classes I undertook were rigorous and required an extreme level of commitment and attention, I persisted with my athletic career because it taught me several valuable life lessons. The sport I feel that I am most involved in is Cross Country. While only a fall sport, it is, in my opinion, one of the most physically demanding and difficult sports to compete in. We train by running upwards of thirty miles a week to compete against other teams in 5000-meter races on various terrains.…

    Bang, the gun sounds. I sprint out of my box, following teammates in pursuit of the leader. The pack of cross country runners appears to envelop me from my parent’s sight. I hurdle toward the first flag, passing competitors right and left. All the rest is a blur, just the pounding of my heart and the thumping of feet as I run, breathing heavier and heavier, twisting and turning through the trails to reach the chute.…

    Nutrition An unknown author once stated, “The greatest wealth is Health.” When coming into this class I didn’t know much about health and the importance of physical exercise. The influences I have when I make my personal food choices are eating what I want but counting calories to make sure I’m not over the daily calorie intake. I try to make wise food choices but sometimes I get distracted when my friends or boyfriend want to go out to eat and I end up falling into a whole menu full of fat foods.…
