Mia had her school sports day today. It started with a quiz and then they had to run 2km and do some other challenges.

I brought her up to the kilbogget track for her 2km & Mum did her 3km club time trial at the same time. Mia was determined to run a sub 10 min 2km but hasn't really been doing any exercise recently... I tried to lower her expectations but she was having none of it!

So off we went at 5 min per km pace. Got through lap 1, she started to struggle during lap 2 & had to make an emergency pit stop! Got going again for lap 3. Another break. Lap 4. Break. Final lap, she hung on my shoulder and then gunned it down the home stretch to come through in 9.39! 😂
She was really disappointed in herself for not being able to do it in one go...I don't know where she gets her competitive streak from! Most of her friends just did a walk/run attempt in about 15 mins!

Speaking of cheating. We are doing these time trials and relays with crusaders and there is cheating going on left right and centre! People running the distance down a massive hill! It kinda takes some of the fun away seeing people that I should be at a similar level to absolutely leaving me in their dust! I guess they're only fooling themselves 🙄 it will be fun beating them when we're back in the real world! 😁

Mum smashed her goal of sub 18 for the 3km today- go Mum! 🏃‍♀️Read more
