Blake finally got the chance to run The Mile (actually the 1500m) in a real track meet this weekend. He started with a warm up by running the 800 m and placed first in his age group. Then he finished with another first in the 1500m.
He is used to running a full 4 times around the track at school which is the real mile so he was not sure of the finish line. He ran right through the finish line around to where he started the race and when he didn't see anyone there he just kept running adding an additional lap to his run. He wasn't really tired when he finished, just wondered why he came in last when he thought we was doing so well. He is a hard worker!
PS It was mom's fault, I told him to look forward, don't pay attention to what is going on around you and focus on running. He finally listened to me. Maybe never again!
