Notes
This was a Christmas sort of run/race of 1 mile. My daughter asked Franc to time her on one mile course while racing with me. The plan was to warm up for the first mile and then GO. Both Franc and I thought Ev was going far too fast during the warm up session so it came to the time to run the fast mile legs gave in. I had set my mind anyway to be timed as I got excited about it. I never had the chance to be timed in a short distance. It was not the best day for me to do so but I took the opportunity and did it. Franc noted that I did 3/4 mile in 4.10 sec. So, whatever that means all I know is that I worked hard and very close to the best I could give. Ev started fast but had no energy/fuel to keep going. She had gone too fast already. She took it very well as I felt she realised that Running like her Swimming need the right practice and approach. It does not happen by itself. In that sense it was a good experience for her I felt. She is so... so competitive. I am wondering at times where this comes from?????? She has been very excited laterly because she did finish first during her School trials amongst her own year. Now is up to her to keep it up. She has a good/rhythmical/strong running pace indeed. But as most of her own age it is more about being fast right from the start.... too fast at times. She enjoyed the experience and that is all it matters. Good start for Christmas Day.
