William ran a mile today. He's run/walked a mile before with me, but this is the first time I've turned him loose at a track to pace himself and get himself through a mile. He didn't exactly make it--started too fast and got discouraged after finishing the first 1 1/2 laps. Of course he started out at an 8 min/mile pace, which is a bit ambitious for his first time. :) So he walked a bit and got a pep talk from me, and ended up finishing in 12:23.
He's actually beginning to take an interest in sports lately. He did a basketball clinic on Sunday with a former Spurs' player, and, while he didn't exactly stun anyone with his skills, he stuck with it all the way through. And he tried ice skating for the first time on Saturday night. Firsts are a big deal for him. He doesn't like trying new stuff, so I'm very "well pleased" that he's giving all these new things a shot. Now if I can just get him to try some vegetables.
