High School

Well if you think of it as getting you into shape, then you should take it. 👍

I think of it as, survival. Surviving it.

I think it's actually a dumb idea for me, because they all are like anorexic-looking. So forget it.

I'm wondering about Cross Country in the Fall.

Is it plain insane running?

I was wondering about track. I need a sport because marching band a) isn't a sport, b) doesn't give me enough exercise and c) is only in the fall. But would it be something is need to be in shape for or something that could get me in to shape? I'm extremely (IMO, at least) overweight and need desperately to get in better shape.

My school blocks so much to the point that even educational sites are 99% blocked and Google images only shows like 3 lines to photos. Before you couldn't even get on that.

Ah I see what you're saying. Gotcha

Track is insanely intense exercise. You have like an hour run as warmup, you sprint quarter miles and longer over and over, and lots of exercise, I've heard from people on the team.

Pretty much.

I don't know if every school does it, but my high school also had track only during 1 part of our semester & it was usually towards the end. Most of those students, myself included, spent the first part of the year in cross country beforehand.

Good blow off class as a senior.

 

[PeterJB]

If you've never done track before then you're better doing lots of walking first before you do any intense sprinting or long-distance jogging.

Cross country is the greatest high school sport known to man.
Then again, I might just be saying that because the seniors this year were awesome.
I'm also saying that because I want to run against and beat you.
And it's a lot less intense than track. You can go at your own pace and nobody will bother you for it.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I remember doing cross country in junior high (aka middle school here), at first I was terrible but by the end of the year it got a lot better. Apart from our final cross country meet that was at a large hilly golf course. It felt a lot better than when I did track, the pace was good and I was more used to running on rough surfaces. (During middle school, I'd run/walk a lot through the woods to get to school) Of course in middle school it's much more relaxed than in high school... Haven't done any sports at all in high school and kind of feel crappy about it. Been too busy working to take part in sports and besides, I'm not much of a competitive person.

I've been walking every day for the past year and a half. Little bits of jogging here and there.

So I've been told.

Some kid told me he ran like 8 miles in the morning and like 10 at night in the summer.

Is that like the Uber-Fast 1st place kids?
My other friend told me in practice the fast kids go like 10 miles, and the slow ones go like 5.

5-6 is usually what we do in practice.
Depends on how insane your coach is.
The kids that run 18 miles a day are usually the ones that run sub-5 minute miles. Our fastest kid (all-New England) ran a 4:30 something mile (yes it's possible ).

I myself now run 9 (sometimes more) miles every other day now when 4 miles seemed like a chore at practice back in the beginning of the season in fall.

 

[Swara]

The fastest kid on our class runs a 4:14 mile. You can look up his name, it's Thomas Graham

That's like a non-stop, full out, sprint for me.

We did no running, but today I managed to qualify for the 1200 lb Club for football.

Bench, Dead Lift, Squat, Incline, Power Clean, and Snatch. Totaling 1280 lbs. And one messed up hand.

Anyone else in Football, or Rugby perhaps?

I use to play AFL.. The tougher version of Rugby but cause I got sent to hospital twice last season I gotta give it a break before I get fired
And running, oh how I use to love running.. 11.7 for 100m 21.8 for 200m and a 54.X over 400m ^.^

Uhh, today was terrible.

So, at first period I got a note saying I had to go down to the front office immediately. When I got down there they told me I skipped Homework Club for Mr. Halvarson for a Cluster Project. Now the way Homework Club usually works is you get your work done, and the teacher checks it the next day. That's how it always has been done. So I told the front office that I had my work done last week in Homework Club, and that I didn't need to go. They said that they would call my teacher, and let him know that I finished, and that I didn't need to go to Lunch Detention.

About ten minutes later they called me down again, and told me that I didn't get the work done, and told me I had a lunch detention. When I get into Mr. Halvarson's class, I tell him to check the work, he does, and says it's finished, but I still have to go to Lunch Detention. So even though it has been finished since last week, I still have to go.

By the time lunch roles around I'm in the Lunch Detention room with 12 other kids. We go to get our lunch, and in the lunch line a whole bunch of the lunch detention kids are talking, so I whisper to my friend how dumb it is that were in for something like this. When were walking back I trip on something and say woah. The Lunch Detention teacher tells me that I was talking when I wasn't supposed to. Then she throws away the only food I had and tells me I wasn't supposed to have that. (It was a cookie and some chips, the line they brought us to had nothing I liked) This makes me mad. She then tells us if we have our phones in our pockets that we need to put them on the corner of our desk face down. A couple minutes later someone's phone goes off. She asks who's phone it is, and nobody goes forward to claim it, so she takes everyone's phone up. At the end of lunch detention she calls everyone up to claim their phones. She tells us to turn our phones off if we had them on. Then she tells me that I had my phone off, and received a text. The problem was, my phone was on silent the whole day, and that text was from last night. That means someone else didn't follow instructions by putting their phone on their desk, or keeping it turned off or silent. I get told that I'm having another day in Lunch Detention too. I wasn't the only one with my phone turned on, and I wasn't the only one talking, yet I'm the only one staying another day. That's what pisses me off. Not that I have to stay another day, but that nobody else does for the same reasons I do.

I got a group Spanish project today that is the oral part of the final. There were several groups of 3 but I get stuck with only one person. To make it worse, both of us aren't very social and all the presentation part of it has to be in Spanish. At least the guy I'm stuck with actually knows Spanish so it may be a little better, which I don't understand why somebody who knows Spanish is in Spanish class.

Then stand up for yourself.

keep doing what you know is right and honest and eventually they will see the truth. By the way does anyone know their internet memes? If so you will understand what I'm talking about. There is this guy at my school that is basically the embodiment of scumbag steve except he dresses like a jock and is somehow popular (which confirms my theory that popularity is a facade and often backfires outside of school in real life) we use him as that meme instead of scumbag steve, because he is so terrible. For example: when he gets put in your project group he doesn't do any of the work on the powerpoint, and butts in during the presentation to read some of the slides that YOU worked hard on to take credit for the project when all he really did was listen to music. Anyone like this in yalls schools?

That's ridiculous.
Mostly the getting the detention in the first place.
Did you argue at all?

 

[Cowboys965]

He should've.

Is a lunch detention just sitting in a classroom eating?

But throwing out your food as punishment. That is wrong on many levels, are they even allowed to do that?

They're not allowed to throw away packed lunches, only snacks. But yeah, basically you just eat in a classroom. You look straight forward, and if you don't, you get another day. Talk, another day, tap, another day. After the second day it's ISS, and I can't afford to get that this close to the end of school.

He probably spent money on that too.

Yeah, I used the very last of my Lunch Money.

I'm already huffing and puffing after 1/4th of a mile, I don't imagine I'd survive an entire mile.

 

[Epic B]

Too long; didn't quote

Man, that sucks. Especially the food part. Even if it was less than hero in the nutrition department, it's cruel and wrong to throw away the only food you have. Chips and a cookie is better than nothing. Maybe you should just bring a homemade lunch. I always do. My day wasn't so bad. Had a math test this morning, though that's nothing for me. Did more reading out loud in English.

Also, last class my art teacher put on Napoleon Dynamite. This time he put on Blue Harvest, the first Family Guy Star Wars.

English teacher didn't find out we put her phone receiver in the air vent when we had a sub. Life is good.
