Get Out and Play!

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, it’s Salley Cat. I just heard about this really cool new challenge. It’s called the ‘Presidential Active Lifestyle Award’ or PALA. The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition wants to promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging us all to get more active. To earn PALA kids have to engage in 60 minutes five to six days a week for six weeks. At first I thought that sounded like a lot, but when I thought about it, I play soccer a couple of times a week and go swimming with Stoogles once a week, not to mention running all over Kinzville with the ‘Kinz Crew all the time. I’ll bet you with a few small changes I could make it to 60 minutes easy. I’m gonna try!

I’m going to head over to the The President’s Challenge website at www.presidentschallenge.org and sign up right now.  They’ve even got downloadable PDFs to help me track my progress.

So whaddaya think? Wanna take the PALA Challenge with me?

    I run cross country. I run the mile in track, and in June I ran it in 5 minutes and 39 seconds when I was a seventh grader. Someone tell me a faster time of yours.
