Whew, I made it! Today was my last day of the February fitness challenge. For the past 28 days I set my personal goal to swim everyday, and complete 60,000 meters total. I can happily say that I my did it: 28 days, 70,000 meters even. I admit some days I did not want to swim, I would have much rather stayed home and watched T.V. or read a book, but that is the thing with challenges - they are a test to see what you are able to do.
At school I see boys and girls challenge themselves all the time. In Room 125 we just started adding three numbers together, and for some students that is a big challenge. For others, writing more than one sentence in our journal is a challenge. But each week I see more and more students write longer and longer journal entries. Some people at our school are challenging the old hula hooping records, or jump roping records.
It's fun and exciting to see what you can do, if you challenge yourself.
Have you ever challenged yourself?
