Me during the race!

My first official race!!!

I ran the Runner's Den/Fiest Bowl 5k today. I ran it in 30:50! Click here to see my official time.

It was cool, I ran in a tunnel. I didn't struggle at all. This was the funnest race ever! It was fun to be with so many runners and have lots of people watching me. There were only a few kids in the race. I really like it when I pass people as I run. I was the youngest runner. You can click here to see everyone's times.


From Christian:

Kaden did a great job today. This 5k seemed very easy to him. He really did not struggle at all and we ran it in the time that we wanted to. There was one 9 year old that ran it in 21 minutes!! Then there were two 8 year olds; a boy who ran it in 27:37 and a girl that ran it in 30:11. So, over all Kaden did very well!! After the race he was beaming and he told me how much fun it was.

Speed Work

Kaden ran his first half mile loop at 4:01. He ran a mile next at 8:44. He then finished his workout with another half mile which he ran at 4:04. He is very consistent!!

I ran a 5k race today!

It was a little hard. It was a long ways! I ran it in 30 minutes 52 seconds! I struggled at the end, but I did it. I told my dad I was tired. My goal was to run it under 30 minutes. I also wanted to run 10 minute miles and my average was 9:57!!

4 miles today!!

Speed work!!

There is a half mile loop at the park. I ran a mile in 8:44. Mommy took off first. I caught up with mommy in the first half mile. This run was a little harder than the last one mile run.

3 Miles

It was a little harder. I ran it in 32:28. That is 10:49 minute pace! Next week I am going to run 4 miles. I like to sprint at the end of the run even after running 3 miles.

2 Miles today

It was a fast run. I ran it in 20 minutes 17 seconds! That is almost 10 minute mile pace. I didn't struggle. It was easy.

3 miles today!

I ran a 5k today! A 5k is 3 miles. I think it was easy. I love to run on the grass. I ran it in 34 minutes 4 seconds which is 11:20 mile pace, and I sprinted at the end.

Some day I want to run a marathon. I like to imagine running 26.2 miles. I can't wait to run 4 miles now.

Today's Run (11/4/2010)

I've been running with my dad for a couple of months. On Tuesday I ran a mile in 8 minutes 39 seconds at school. My gym teacher timed the whole class. I was leading the whole way and then at the end one of my friends passed me to win.

Today I ran two miles in 22 minutes 23 seconds with my dad. I like to run on the grass better than on the sidewalk. It's better on my joints. I got a side ache. I kept going and breathed harder and deeper. A half mile into the run it started and it kept hurting the whole way. My brother wanted to come with us so he rode his bike.
