Training Log Archive: Torino

We all went out with Matti and Lena to "train" for the upcoming Tour du Canton that the kids will run in again. First, did 400 m without stopping with both kids. Then, we did a relay, each one of us ran for 100 m then tagged off the next one. But Matti protested as there was no competitor, so we did 2 teams of 2 doing each 200 m: it was Lena and Urs against Matti and me: when I was starting together with Lena, I held back a little for her not to lag behind too much and motivate her to keep running, then I tagged off to Matti who had to battle Urs who had really go to his limit to follow Matti! This 6-year old has become fast in the short sprint ;-0).
Then we switched teams, Lena and I against the "boys": Lena and Urs started and Lena decided she had enough, walked, then cut across the grass, so she tagged me off before Urs reached Matti; I sprinted the slightly uphill but soon heard Matti coming up behind, and I couldn't help laugh that this little guy was already so fast! He passed me and I caught up with him again and then he sprinted into the finish as Nonno and Lena cheered him on. What fun.
