Hayley is now running it non stop and has made lots of progress as far as maintain a constant speed, its not the fastest, but we are working lots on the proper elements of running and the importance of proper breathing (NO ASTHMA ATTACKS thus far!!), posture, etc. I have to say that I was a bit nervous about her wanting to to CC, but I know that she will be fine and this will actually be good her her lungs!!
Hunter is running about 3/4 of way and then stops and has to walk for a while. This kid is SO fast and is always thinking he has to WIN everything, we are having issues with the consistency of pacing himself, but know that it will come with time!!
Today on the way home from school they were upset that is was going to rain before we got to run and asked if they could run on the way home! I stopped the car and dropped them off and they their mile home! (Yes, I was behind them in the car) SCORE one for this Momma, getting their practice in!!! Just one of the many benefits of living in the country, you can drop your kids off in middle of road and let them run!!
I timed the kids: Hunter ran a 7:09 and Hayley ran a 8:25, not to bad for a 8 and 10 year old!! Our road is very hill, part black top and then turns to gravel so I am proud of them for running so well!!
Our first track meet is Saturday and can't wait to see the kids run!!
