How to make your child love sports

Tweet

My son was able to finish a 5K run last Sunday. I'm one proud Mama. We woke up at around 430AM and was at the race ground before 530AM. I know, too early for me but I can sacrifice my sleep anytime for my son.

RJ doesn't swim in school anymore, sometimes he swims with his dad but that happens once in a blue moon, so he needs to find another sports that he can do at least 3 times a week. Especially since my son is asthmatic, he needs to be fit and strong. Although he's into soccer and basketball already, his dad is encouraging him to try out running.

His dad joins running events every weekend so he's in a mission to make RJ love the sport also. He's already "doing what he's preaching" so hopefully he'll be successful in coaxing RJ to also love the sport that he loves.

How far can you run?

RJ is joining a 10K run this coming Sunday. Yes, 10K. It's actually a buddy run and he partnered with his Dad. They were supposed to do 5K but his dad registered them for the 10K run. If RJ decides to not finish the race, his dad will get disqualified too. Since it's a buddy run, they're supposed to cross the finish line together.

They practiced today in a track oval near the house. RJ looked like he's powered by defective cell batteries. After doing two laps, he was already tired. Hopefully it's just for today. We went straight to the track oval from school so it's understandable that he's tired.

If he's like that on the day of the run, I wonder how they'll finish at least 5 kilometers of the 10 kilometer run? Goodluck to them on Sunday.
