My legs hurt

[Macawmoses]

In celebration of what Terry Fox did for Canada, my school (and numerous others) do an 8 kilometer walk/run in appreciation. Sadly, my school makes it necessary to pass your Physical Education, and they also evaluate your time. I think it's ridiculous, but I'm curious to see what physical requirements you guys have to complete, just for a passing grade.

Also, my time of completion was 47 minutes, 23 seconds. Bah.

So, talk about Gym, and other demeaning things.

Wait, what? You were forced to do an 8 mile run/walk? That's kind of weird...longest I ever had to do was 1 mile, and I got 8:59. D:

We have to just try hard and stuff.  We stopped doing physical fitness tests a while ago D:

Only American state that requires gym class is Illinois. Had to take it until I graduated from high school. Also, gym is hardly demeaning unless you have to swim. And you have to strip without changing booths. And you're attracted to the same sex.

Yes, your mark was based on your time. Needless to say, I didn't score incredibly well, but I did better than a large portion of the school.

Wow... Thats uh... Pretty awkward, yet funny at the same time D:

I don't have gym ^__^  I go walk 4 miles on the beach every day anyway, not like it would matter if I did take it. I would smoke all those fattys >:(

I don't think it is the issue of being fat, I think it is general laziness. Only 28% of the students apparently completed the run....in 90 minutes. I just checked the hand-out they gave us, and it says with a time of 40-50 minutes, I'd get an 80, however, my school rescaled it due to all the lazy asses, so, I guess I have a 90, now. A time under 40 minutes ( I think someone got 28 minutes) is a perfect score....

...ugh

Uh, New York does too.

Gym really isn't that hard for me (except for endurance running), it's just boring.

[Redpaige13]

Gym was never a bother for me.  The only thing I hated was that every Thursday we had to run a mile within a 15 minute limit.  As long as you made it within 15 minutes, you passed.  So my friend and I would always walk, never run, and sometimes sprint during the last few seconds if we were late.  We were lazy bastards. x3

The only thing I intercourse ing hated was when the boys would be in the football field, which was in the center of the track.  I never liked running in front of them.

How many miles are in 8 kilometers?
And the most I've done was a mile. And I jogged the entire time. I got 7 or 8 minutes. I wasn't feeling very good that day, though.

Recent thing? I read IL was the only state a while back.

nope, we in NY also have mandatory P.E....unless you opt out as a senior if you played sports a lot.  Which I did not.
