Today, I ran at the Battersea 5k Parkrun on 27th April. I was really excited because I knew this course is one of the fastest in the whole of the UK. It is actually the third fastest Parkrun in the country! I felt ready and confident that I could smash my personal best. I had been looking forward to this race for a long time.

At the start, a kind lady offered to pace me to help me reach a time of 18 minutes and 30 seconds. I felt lucky to have her support. As soon as the race began, I got off to an amazing sprint. I was running really fast and felt strong, but I also knew there was still a long way to go. I had to save some energy for later.

Today, I took part in the London Easter Run 10 on Sunday, 20th April 2025. It was a really exciting event with lots of people of all ages. There were two races starting at the same time — a 2-mile fun run and a 10K race. I was running in the 2-mile race because I’m not old enough to do the 10K yet. Still, I felt ready and full of energy. I had trained for this and was looking forward to giving it my best.

Today I ran at the Maidenhead Easter 10 on 18th April 2025. It was a really exciting race, and I was proud to take part. The race included children from Year 5 to Year 8, so I knew it would be a challenge as many of the boys were a lot bigger and older than me. Still, I was ready to give it my best and see how well I could do.

Right at the start of the race, I was in 2nd place. But not long after, two boys ran past me, and I dropped to 4th. I didn’t panic I stayed calm and focused. As we came around the first bend, I pushed harder and managed to move back into 2nd place. The boy in front of me was still about five seconds ahead, but I didn’t give up. I tried to keep a steady pace and not slow down.

Today was a big day for me. I ran at Pitshanger Junior Parkrun on 30th March 2025. I had one clear goal in mind – to run the course in under seven minutes. I knew it would be hard, but I really wanted to push myself and give it everything I had. What made me feel a bit more confident was that I had new running trainers. They felt light and fast, and I was excited to see how much they could help me.

When the run started, I was in 3rd place right away. The first few minutes were tough, but I tried to stay focused and not go too fast too early. Halfway through the first lap, I managed to move up to 2nd place. I could see the boy in front of me, and I guessed he was about five seconds ahead. I kept chasing, step by step, trying not to let the gap grow.
