Langara Trail Walk/Run

Today, we started the day off with Fitness Friday and we followed it up with a run/walk around the Langara golf course. The photo to the left shows our exact route. Our route was 2.8km in length and it took us approximately 29 minutes and 45 seconds to complete. Or average pace was 10:31 seconds per kilometre. Our average speed was 5.7 km an hour and our maximum speed was 11.5 km an hour. It was nice to see the weather improve today. With the weather improving, we are looking forward to spending more time outdoors improving our physical health.

I didn't went to the trail run so I don't know what I write so I will write about a similar walk. When I was in China I usually walk along the ocean. When I am walking across the ocean I think of the book The Great Blue Yonder. I don't know why. maybe because of the word yonder. When I look at the walk beside the ocean it look like thousands of human meatball getting cook. The whole place is jammed like traffic in Shenzhen. Then when I start walking back home and see people selling candy on the road. I think of a classic Chinese book series, in the series the people how sell candy on the roads all got killed. Then I walk back home and play!

Last Friday, we went on a walk around the Langara golf course. I can clearly see that this walk relates to many of our mindfulness, and self regulation activities. The first thing that came to mind was the breathing exercises. The golf course was filled with trees and plants, freshening the air, and letting us calm down better by just breathing the fresh air around us. Next, I thought of being active. Sometimes all you need to calm down is a quick jog around the block. This walk/run around Langara was perfect for that. We have a lot of space to move around, and relax. Lastly, while walking, I thought about how the scenery also helps one self regulate better. When I'm in a classroom, I'll look outside at the trees to calm down, but when I'm outside, especially on a trail or path, there's so much to see and hear, and it's all really calming and soothing. This is why I think taking a walk outside would really help us regulate a whole lot better.

The trail run/walk was meh. It was boring but I'd rather walk for 6h than go to school. I made some connections because the walk was really quiet and the mindfulness activities are quiet. That's all my connections so don't make me do more because that was all my connections.

My P.A.R.

Mr. Hong: Guess what kids. We are taking a field trip.
Students: YESSS!! WOOT WOOT!! Where though?
Mr. Hong: Langara golf couse
Student: What are we going to do there?
Mr. Hong: RUN!
Students: NOOO!!!!!!!

Last Friday, we went on a walk/run at the Langara golf course. Well it was actually around the golf course. When we got there, I was like is this going to be fun or not? It turns out that the trail was AMAZING!!! A few students weren't really happy with the trail but I loved it. Some connections I made were with the different plants I saw because they reminded me of the leaf project. Another one I made was with the places I saw. When we were working in our ecosystems, I went to a place which was part of the trail to get the materials I needed. This walk/run also reminded me the walks I used to go with my family on nice days during the spring/summer. I'm looking forward to doing this trail walk/run again on nice days.

Running. The worse thing about life. You get cramps and it makes you tired. But you know what's worse than running, running a long distance. And guess what we had to do last Friday. RUN A LONG DISTANCE. We had to run around the whole Langara golf course. Some connections I made along the way were running helps keep your mind calm. Running is a strategy you can use to be more mindful. Another connection I made along the way was that in high school we will have to run around Langara golf course again. Overall, I thought the run wasn't bad. It was really bad and most of the time I just walked/jogged.

So on friday, Mr Fisher and Mr Hong decided to take us to the langara golf course to run (not play golf) Wherever we are we must use our mindful of everyone, so we used some of the strategies. So first we stayed out of the way was best as we could so people can pass by. We also regulated some of our voice levels so we aren't some crazy monkeys on the lose. It was fun to go there but we must always remenber to be mindful of everyone.

Have you ever gotten into a big fight with your parents over when you spend too much time on the internet? It can get worse if you don’t control your emotions. Well, maybe you should go for a run. It’s scientifically proven that running or walking briskly can calm you down. Some people say that walking is a form of meditation. Additionally, the scenery and all the sounds made by the animals are really soothing. Furthermore, running or walking can give you some alone time to calm down and to think straight. All of these facts are related to mindfulness. During the whole walk/run, I was thinking about how beautiful and serene the scenery was. Therefore, I really calmed down and relaxed during and after the run. In conclusion, walking or running is a great way to help you return to the green zone and self-regulate.

During our run, I tried to run as fast and far from the others as possible. I tried, but you would know how far behind I was if you were at the back. I honestly stopped trying. I keep laughing at myself for that as well. So much for “trying”. But that wasn’t all of my ability to run! Thank goodness! If you saw me during Stones, I run faster when I’m competitive. Not so much when I’m supposed to calm myself. I like to run and feel the wind coursing through my hair and some adrenaline pumping through my veins. But I really don’t try unless I have to. And that brings me to my memory! I remember myself running laps around a park near my house. I often outrun my parents and I feel really proud of myself. That barely happens anymore, but it relates. I barely go running now since I’m getting lazy. I bet a lot of people can relate to be honest. When time flies, so does your soul and ener- okay that’s a bit too deep. I shall stop~ *smiles awkwardly*

@Eknoor thank you for the birthday congratulation! I shall try to use telepathy to hopefully send it to him 😅

@Andrew Suga is not a code word, although it sounds like it. The stage name is really unique, eh? I like it a lot!

@myself I’m in a very weird mode so I’m getting really off topic. But I really wanna send those messages! I hope they can see it. :D

Have you ever heard the phrase "take a walk"? Usually, this is used when someone is going into the red zone. Something about walking/running calms you down. Maybe it's the fact that you're gasping for air because you ran too fast so it gets whatever you're upset about off your mind. Okay, so maybe I'm over exaggerating but running really is tiring (I need to get in shape lol)! I can actually connect to this because often times I'll be mad at my parents and literally just run outside and go for a walk. I guess running or walking really does calm you down because I'd always come back perfectly fine. Running around Langara Golf Course reminded me of the zones of regulation which we were learning about. I think that it put anyone who was tired (or in the blue zone) into the green zone. I know that after we ran I felt much more awake. All in all, if you're ever in a bad mood you should try going for a walk or a run, it can really help.

The walk/run around the langara golf course made me it reminded me of the time before school when my dad and I jogged around the langara golf course. Also it reminds me of when my family walked all the way to marine gateway. I can see there is a picture of the C-Chart for mindfulness but I am going to say a mindfulness thing we did while going around the langara golf course. So we were mindfulness because we would move to the right side when other people were coming so they don't have to stop what they were doing and keep jogging or walking or running.

Running is obviously not my favorite thing to do. Funny thing is that we ran 2.8km woohoo. I thought that this was to help with pur regulation skills. The view was a wonderful sight and it was such a nice day to take a walk, although it was very tiring and warm. We were aware of our surroundings and walked on the right side when other people walked our way, just like what we do in school. I was really tired when we finished but it woke me up more after drinking water. We regulated ourselves and our voice levels, I would say we improved our skills a lot considering it was almost 60 people walking together at once.

On friday we went to langara garden's golf course for a 'run'.
This reminded me of the time I went for a run there with my dad last year. And yes I had the reaction to when my dad tolled me where we going.

Casey

3/11/2018 07:43:32 pm

Well, the nature walk or run we did was very fun, I really loved it. Overall this run helped regulate me it was a warm morning and it was the perfect morning to go on a run. There were so many sounds that really calmed me, but then yet again I go a cramp and that kind of hurt but there were sounds of birds, the light breeze, and the sound of about 7 children I was running with, not really the last one but I had fun. In the end this was a great experience and I hope we do it again and possibly every friday.

Exercise is great, but running might not e my very first choice. But on Friday, we ran 2.8km around Langara Golf course. I know right, great. Anyways, it was not as bad. During the run two teachers always reminds us to sty on one side so others can walk by. It was a great experience. I remembered the Friday run. We always run around the school for two laps. That was one of the worst thing I did when it comes to exercise. But this Friday it was fun and we get to go outside the school.

When we went to the Langara trail, I didn’t know what we were going to do there, but it soon became apparent that we were going to run... the whole 2.8 km. While running I remembered that I’d heard somewhere you get less tired when you run, if you breathe slower. So I did, and it reminded me of how we breathe in with that chime that Mr Hong dings. Other than that, I didn’t really think much, other than ‘I nEeD wAtEr’, and ‘ArE wE dOnE yEt?’

I'm sorry it's so rushed asdfjsd

On Friday, we went to langara golf course and run. I think that was a really awesome experience because it was a sunny day and I actually really like running in the warm weather so I think is pretty fun. Also, we had to be mindful because we had to remember that someone are also running and they really need a quiet places to run. If we talked so loud or distracting others, this actually is a bad behaviour so which I think we really have to think about that next time when we go there again. While we were running around there,I made a connection in it,which is I remembered that when I was around 6 years old, I usually go running with my sister in Saturday morning because I always think that after I run in the morning,I will feel like more energy and then I can start the day,so I really like running in the morning. Also, I made a connection when we did the science project, I remembered that we went there together and find the leaves that we need and then we had to cut it down which it was a really fun experience too!

As ya'll know I run with the LuluLemon Run Club and I run anywhere around 5-15 k. Running is a really important sport that is good for you and you should learn it. Running is a very good activity to do when you are bored and have nothing to do.

The run/walk at Langara Golf Course showed me a few things. When running/walking, you aren't suppose to look at a screen so you get to enjoy the nature and scenery. I got to see how much you're missing out if you spend all your spare time inside like a vampire. When walking, it reminded me of how I use to love going outside. The weather that day was amazing and it was so bright and sunny. I remembered how I would play with my sister and with the kids in my neighbor. It makes me go into the green zone. The zones of regulation is what we learnt at school. Going outside and playing with my friends makes me go into the green zone. I really miss those days. Let's get back to talking about the run/walk. I mainly walked with my friends. We had to be mindful of others and our surroundings. Staying on the right is important so we wouldn't take up the entire path considering the fact that we had like 54 people. The run/walk at Langara Golf Course reminded me of my past and also how to be more mindful.

Do you like running? Well I do, especially on a sunny day. So on Friday we went to the Langara Golf course and went for a run. It was a perfect day to go out. Before we started running we talked about mindfulness when we are in public. Since Langara Golf course is a public area and many people run/jog/walk we have to be careful. Some examples are don’t block the whole road and walk on the right side. Don’t be so loud and regulate yourself. A connection I have is when I was in grade 5, I was is a private school. We would go to a playground during PE class. We would walk up and down the hills and sometimes we would have a mini race with the whole class, but we had to be careful because there were also bike lanes too. When you are in public you have to be mindful of your surroundings.

Please don’t question the time that I’m doing this.

Let’s talk about running. Running, to me, is horrible and that’s a reason why I walk. But then, we had to walk (or run depends on what you did) around Langara Golf Course! I felt like my leg was gonna explode! A bit too dramatic, but who cares?! Before we did the run/walk we were told this was meant for our mindfulness and self-regulation. When you sort of think of it, it’s a way that people can talk. And I mean a lot of talking. For some reason I could relate this to photography. Not only because the view was nice, but also for how it was sort of relaxing. Photography is somewhat the same. It feels relaxing considering I’m only taking photos of the nice view. It’s sad that I forgot my phone in class, I could’ve taken pretty good photos during the walk! Honestly, I’m getting off topic. This was fun but I got to go. I’m probably going to get scolded if my mom finds out I was “staying up this late”.

Miles

On Friday we went on a nature walk around Langara Golf Course. Personally I love nature walks, I enjoy them because we are free to go at our own pace, and we get to be immersed in the environment. Also talking to friends whilst walking on a HUGE trail is fun. In my opinion, it's a very good way to keep people mindful. So I could see why Mr. Hong made use go on the walk. Especially since we are really working on mindfulness in class. The walk kind of combined a lot of the mindfulness strategies that I'm working on, deep breathing, walking, and distracting my mind with something other then stress. Every once in a while I go on a walk when I'm stressed. In conclusion I think that nature walks are fun, and it's nice to get away from a device once in a while.

Karman

3/12/2018 08:21:33 am

I like walking in nature, but I don't like running. It gives me cramps and because of my acid reflex, it makes me very uncomfortable when I run long distances and makes my stomach feel like it's 'expanding'. However, the run reminded me of Sexmith school when I lost my tooth there and almost broke my nose.
