Sunday Run

This morning I woke up early as I wanted to go running with my friends. There is a competition coming up on 28 April -just two rounds around Bedok Reservoir. My target is 40m at most. I hope to do better than that.

We came at 7.25am. Mr Ow was there waiting. Mr Chua and the some of the others started running earlier. We ran together the two roounds in 55m. I missed Uncle Kalai and Auntie Roda. Later I heard they had gone to run at Mt Faber.Uncle Jo and his wife also came. They gave all of us us hersheys kissables.

Today we hads o many adults running together. After the run Mr Malek invited all of us to his condo for breakfast and a dip in the pool.

I love swimming. Even before I was in primary one, I already have the bronze award. Swimming 20 or 30 laps is no problem. But now with school work, tuition and running I have no time for it...

Too bad it rained and I was forced to get of the pool. The best part was the jackuzzi... The water was really warm...

I really like this club. As all of them are adults, they realy take care of me and look out for me. They run with me, pace me and help me correct all my running mistakes.They also motivate me to do better. Most of these runners are my parents' age. At first my father was shy to join them but the slower runners encouraged him to join and now mt father runs with them. Then the aunties help my mother and encourage my mother. Now she can run too...But so slow... My sister runs so much faster and better.

I am so happy my mother runs. One day I hope that all of us can take part in a competition together.When I started running she nver ran. But these people are so good to us. They encourage my mother ro run and I am so happy that she can run today. Keep it up Mummy! One day I hope you will be able to run by my side...

I know that I will never leave this group. Maybe it is because i am the only child there so they all sayang me... Or maybe they all take the trouble to make me belong and be a part of them...
