Having spend a good 30 minutes looking at the weather... I have decided that trying to run our mile tomorrow would be dangerous. The ground will be too slippery (track or road) and it will likely still be snowing.
So tomorrow we will have a normal class, and we will aim to run on TUESDAY (so on Monday I can remind you to dress appropriately).

RUNNING ACTIVITY
In looking at the weather for the next few days....
I had planned on having us do our 1 mile run on THURSDAY. Currently, the weather is looking less than lovely, possible snow and a high of 39.
We can still run on Thursday, but everyone will need to dress for the weather.
The other option is this: we will continue with the lessons, and push the run to either Monday (sunny and 42) or Tuesday (sunny and 48) of next week... WE WILL RUN BY NEXT TUESDAY REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER.
If we wait, you will have additional information to consider when you analyze your run.
I will take a vote in class, and you can of course post your opinion here. :)
I've been training! Who thinks they can run faster than me??
NOTE: There will be a variety of "awards" for the 1 mile run :)

Change to Friday's Activity....
Attention students... there MIGHT be a special activity during 5th and 6th period on FRIDAY... which could change our "field trip" to walk/jog a mile :(
Here are your options...
(1) We can go ahead as planned, knowing that we will only have 4th period, and you might get sweaty
(2) We can take notes and do more in-class work tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday... and then do our walk/jog activity, and assignment that goes along with it AFTER we get back from February break (I was going to have you complete it over the vacation). We would instead walk/jog our mile on TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28th
We will talk about this in class, but feel free to reply with your opinion... we WILL be walking/jogging the mile at some point either way :)

Friday Activity
On FRIDAY DURING CLASS we are going to collect some data to help us better understand the concepts of speed, and acceleration (which we haven't talked about yet!).
Ms. Hurst has laid out a ONE MILE course around the O'Bryant. We will go out and each student needs to walk, jog, or run the mile course and record their time for each 0.25mil (so at the end your will have 4 times, 0.25mi, 0.5mi, 0.75mi, and 1 mile).
We will collect this data, put it into a data chart, graph it, and compare it to other data.
We are going to develop and answer to the question "Does a runner run at the same speed for an entire race??"
- If you are unable to run, please have your parent/guardian email or call me before Friday. I will also accept notes IF they have contact information to verify (so don't write note "from" your parents in your handwriting...)
I will have water and a "post-run snack" for afterwards :) And of course... I will jog with you!
