Robert Song's Running

I'm over 50 and been running off and on since 1968. I have run everything from 800m to 10k on the track, to half marathons (PB 1:21 Brisbane 1993) and marathons (PB 2:53 Gold Coast 1985).

Delta Epsilon

Today was Delta's school cross country which was around 2k. She came 5th in 9:25.

She ran a good controlled race. It was a two lap course. She didn't go out too fast early. At the end of the first lap she was in fourth position. The first girl had a big lead but there was not much between 2nd and 5th . She stuck with it and kept with this group all the way to the end but got outsprinted at the end to finish 5th but still a very large distance to sixth.

She is very happy with the result. I think she suprised a lot of kids and parents with her run because she was able to compete with all the noted sporty types. She is such a tiny person and not looked upon as physically very strong, so I think her self esteem has been boosted by her effort.

Delta is in blue.

    Love the pic of Delta, Robert! Is she going to leave her dad behind in the dust one day? You're doing OK though!

    Go Delta!
    I hope she knows that she has a great CR family supporting her. She is very tiny, good for running in the future! Under 5 minute kilometres is excellent.
