Well I have to say that taking
the boys to the Anniversary Games last weekend has really started to pay off in
dividends as their interest in athletics has sky rocketed. Earlier in the week
they had set up a high jump in the back garden using a load of cushions to land
on with two chairs and a stick to make the high jump pole (very resourceful).
Then last night after dinner they
both said to me that wanted to go out running. So despite having cycled 30
miles that day you simply cannot say no to them if they show an interest in
sport. So on went the running shoes and the 3 of us did a 1 mile lap of the
Wick Country Park (on probably the hottest day of the year!). The funny thing
was that as we ran around the park they kept wanting to stop and go into a
sprint race. So they would go through the routine of “marks”, “set”, “bang” and
then sprint as fast as they could. At the end of the sprints they were
celebrating by either hitting the Usain Bolt – Lightning Bolt Celebration Pose or
the Mo Farah – Mobot Pose. Trust me you have not lived until you have seen Little
B sprinting along whilst holding a Mobot pose!
