The specific skill I choose is jogging a mile (4 laps) on the track. The components of the skills are a proper warm-up, the activity which in this case is jogging 4 laps around an outdoor track, and cool down.

I tried to keep up with Duck and Steele, and managed to do so for the first half fo the run. My goal is always to make it to the halfway point without having to slow down to a walk.
