Last Blog

I enjoyed the interaction between my so many followers. I am sadly announcing that this will be my last blog, at least for a long while. I thank everyone who has stuck with me through these past few weeks, and i hope i have touched the heart and minds of all of my viewers. I know life can be stressful and confusing but i just want everyone to stick with it. The semester is almost over and the summer is soon approaching. Spring is friday and the weather is starting to warm up. If we can knock at the homework and priorities first then the remainding time can be used doing stress-free related activities. So be active, be responsible, be safe, and have fun...Enjoy life, Lenndogg Out!!!

Everybody's Irish

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, the glorious day of celebrating the great christian missionary St. Patrick. Just a little history on St. Patrick if you didn't know. Patrick was kidnapped at the age of sixteen by Roman british Isle band pirates, who then threw Patrick into slavery. Patrick was a sheppard who swho turned to religion for solace. After six years of slavery patrick escaped to the Irish Coast and back to Britain. Back in his homeland, Patrick became a priest and started to dream of visions of people from ireland wanting him to return to spread the word of Christianity. Patrick traveled to ireland and became a christian missionary, all though there were christians in Ireland at the time, Patrick laid the ground work for a lot of monasteries and churches. He converted many followers into christianinty and became a saint. In 1737 St. Patricks Day was first celebrated in Boston, Massachuttes and in 1766 the first parade for St. Patty's was taken place in New York City. Today is the gloriest day for all of us to celebrate the great St. Patrick. In slippery rock and all over the world, "Today Everybody Is Irish". Lenndogg Out!!!

Life in the major

I always get confused when i have class with some students who are in this major. We live for physical activity and helping others live a healthy life, yet people argue or complain when we have to participate in an activity. I just dont get it, are we or are we not suppose to lead by example. Each and one of us in this major should be active, outgoing, and willing to step out our way to help others. Being a Physical Education major i know that i am going to change a lot of lives. I also know that i am not going to be able to reach out to everyone, but by me trying my hardest to help change the way children and teenagers live their life actively will be one step closer to saving and changing their life. So please if you are one of these people who just want to roll the ball out for students to play, please stop hurting my major and my work ethic. Try hard and do your best because the overall picture isn't me nor you its everyone, it's our society or future.

Back to the Grid Iron

Spring Break is now over and the second half of the semester has begun. Its going to be an excited second half of the semester. I started training for the Pittsburgh Marathon. A lot of the PE students are geting teams around with some of the professors in our department. Its rough now because its still cold outside and the only time i can get out to run is in the morning before classes. Slippery Rock is a town that consist of hills, either up hill or down hill. Training is hard enough, fitting a few miles in a day is intense but throwing in hills within those miles, now that is a challenge. I beleive physical activity is something that every individual should do, no matter if they are 10 or 70 our bodies are made to move and there is always a way to get around and become physically active. If you may, please take an hour of your busy day and get some sort of physical activity in your life. There are many benefits when people become physically active a few is better sleep and decreasing stress level. Schedule an hour a day and do something fun for your body. If you need any suggestion please let me know. Have a great day and get out and be active. Lenndogg Out!!!
