Today I ran 2 miles. That feels good to say considering I’m 10. The first mile was easy. I ran quite fast and did it in 8 minutes 30 seconds. The second mile was a different story. I did it in 10 minutes. The worst 10 minutes of my life. I wished that I hadn’t drunk half a bottle of apple juice before I left. When I was running I could feel all the apple juice juggling around in my tummy. I kept telling my dad I was going to be sick. He told me that when Paula Radcliffe was tired she counted from 100 down to 1. I tried, but I only got to 70. I’m not a very patient person. My legs were really tired but I kept going to the end.

Through the whole run there were dogs on the path. I thought one of them was going to chase me. Luckily it didn’t.

When I finished I realised that my back was covered in muck and that was why everybody was staring at me.

Embarrassing! J

Well done today, kidda. You showed some guts in the second mile and you've learned a couple of lessons. That's the great thing about this sport - as simple as it seems, you're always learning. Most importantly, you must learn to be patient...

My girlfriend and I agree that you've got the cutest profile picture on the blog.

Great run! You're pretty speedy and only going to get speedier. I've been chased by a few dogs and it's no fun.

Running is a great patience builder and cultivator of mental toughness. Keep listening to Bam, he knows his stuff. Did he teach you how to write? I'm impressed.

Thank you very much for the nice comment about my picture. You and your girlfriend have good taste:)

Yesterday, I did not think I was too speedy. In fact, the second mile felt very hard and slow:( But like you said, I can only get better. Maybe if a few dogs chased me when I was tired I might run faster:)

I really enjoy running and even though yesterday was tough, it felt good afterwards.

Dad knows too much about running and injuries. He's always waffling on. Don't get me started about his writing.

Thank you for putting me on your favourite blogs.
