NIKE RUN MOSCOW 2011

On Saturday, 17th September, I was participating in the Nike Run Moscow for 5km with my brother and my friend. It was at the Sportivnaya metro at the Luzhniki stadium. I arrived there around 4 o'clock for registration, which they distribute the numbers and the shirts. My number was 14824 and there were about 17000 runners participating in the event. After I registered, we warmed up by doing aerobics leaded by several fitness instructors from World Class Gym. It was really fun with so many people doing it together. After we had the aerobics, the organizers told us to go the starting line and everybody was rushing to get to the front line. 

When we already started running, I was running really slow because my legs were still aching after the sports day. Suddenly, my left leg started to cramp and we had to stop running for a while and we walked until the finish line. I clocked 41 minutes. After the winner presentation, there was a concert by The Klaxons from the UK. Everybody was excited and had fun. 

The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved from this event are :

• I increased my awareness of my own strengths and my areas for growth
• I undertaken new challenges
• I shown perseverance and commitment in this activity
• I worked collaboratively with others

Sports Day

On Thursday, 15th September, our school had our autumn sports day. I was in the red team which is called Pushkin. The day before we had our sports day, we had to choose our team mascot, our team song and our team celebration. We also had to choose the players for each sport. I participated in every sports: dodgeball, football, basketball, volleyball and also relays because we need to have a minimum of two girls in every team for every sports. I really enjoyed playing every sports because my team really worked with each other, support each other and most importantly, in every sport, we won most of the games that we have played. However, when I woke up on the next day, my whole body was aching because I have not done any sports during the summer holiday. 

Sports day is really important for us in IB because it is part of our CAS programme. By having sports day, we communicate with our team-mates more which will improve our communication and leadership skills. Therefore I hope the school will do more events that could contribute to our IB learning process. 

The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved during sports day are :

• I increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth
• I worked collaboratively with others
• I developed new skills
