What I've Learned So Far About Genius Hour

This week in technology class, we have started to choose Genius Hour inquiry topics. You must choose a topic that is important to you and that you have interest in. When choosing an idea, I wanted to choose something that I would be excited about anytime I had to work towards my goal. I have always been interested in fitness and working out. It started by playing soccer many times a week from the time I was young, all the way until I finished high school. Once I got to university, I knew that I still wanted to live an active lifestyle. Since then, I have been passionate about working out. I enjoy it and it has become my way to relieve stress. As a result, I have chosen a form of working out for my Genius Hour project. Running has always been my preferred activity of choice and I enjoyed running my first 15k in September 2015. Therefore, my goal for this Genius Hour project is to train and run my first half-marathon by October 2017. I hope to increase the number of kms I am running each week, reaching 10km, twice a week by March 2017, 15km, twice a week by May 2017, and 18km, once a week by August 2017. My ultimate goal is to run/exercise four times a week. My motivation will be my determination to maintain a healthy lifestyle, even when life with school, work, and volunteering gets busy. I look forward to conquering my goal!!!!
