Since I got back from the Super Bowl, I have done a lot of things. I still do all the stuff I did before I left. For example, I have been playing basketball, soccer, intramurals at school and helping coach my sister’s floor hockey team. I have still been sticking to the Play 60 Challenge pledge. I got to present the game ball at a Mercyhurst College men’s basketball game.

Tonight was a health fair at my school. There were a bunch of fitness stations like soccer, basketball, football, hockey, jump rope, bowling, bulldozers and builders. My mom had to reschedule my piano lesson for this week so I could go to the Health Fair. I hope Rich Eisen doesn’t find out because I promised him I wouldn’t give up on piano lessons like he did!

I took my friend, Nick to the health fair tonight. He didn’t really want to go, but once we got there he had a blast. I think he is starting to see that playing and being active is as much fun as playing video games. Do you have a friend that you can take away from video games for 60 minute a day? Try it and let me know what happens!

A few days ago it was our school’s Jump Rope for Heart participation day, sponsored by the American Heart Association. Everyone’s gym class got to do it. So I got to jump rope with my friends for fun in gym class. There were a lot of different ways you can jump rope- who knew?? What is your school doing to keep YOU fit! Please tell me what your school does or what fitness things it sponsors.

Talk to you soon,
