And we're 21 hours in..o boy!

It seems that the time is flying by, and I am not just talking about the summer.  I thought at the beginning of this project that 40 hours was a lot, but as I am now going through it the hours seem to be flying by.  Here I am already 21 hours into my project!  It just seems crazy!  Anyways back to the important information.  Today at the program we did a few different things.  The first thing that I had them do, was to run.  They kind of did follow the leader.  Each person got to take the group around the gym, where ever they wanted, for one minute each.  They thought it was fun to take the people where ever they could to make it difficult.  After they ran we sat and stretched and talked like every other day.  After that we played a game.  Today we played my version of duck-duck-goose.  When they called someone goose, before they could run they had to do strength.  It was interesting to see how they managed to get the strength in and chase down the tagger.  They thought it was a blast.  After we played that game, we did some more fitness training.  I am just trying to see how well they can do from day to day.  They do pullups, timed situps, and running for me, however they do a lot more in P.E.  I know they really don't enjoy that part of the program, but it is a benefit to them.  Once we were done with that we played another game.  We played forward roll tag for the second game.  It was fun to watch them be so excited about one game.  I surprised them with the snack of peaches at the end of the program.  They all really enjoyed that, and thought it was a great idea.

Lesson I learned today: Sometimes it is easier to get to a persons happiness through their stomach, or so it seems.
