For the 3rd year in a row boys participated in Lauf für Mehrsprachigkeit a couple of Sundays ago. Thankfully the weather was pretty nice this year and Ilya's school while sponsoring the event, did not participate in the entertainment section of the run. In the past years they played on flute, danced and singed and while it was fun, it was pretty long and the stage is a bit small and gets crowded.
Last year Anton participated in the Bambini run which was 200 meters but this year he got upgraded to the elementary school-age run which is 900 meters and he ran that together with Andrei. Ilya got upgraded from 900 meters to 3 km. The upgrades for both of the kids were my decisions and I have to say that everything was successful.
Andrei and Anton run together and I told Andrei to keep an eye on his brother in case Anton has problems with breathing. Anton ran most of the way but told us that he walked a little bit in the middle. Running is not Andrei's thing AT ALL so putting him in charge of his brother was also a good plan.
Ilya, however, is a runner. Moreover, he is a long-distance runner and he was the only kid from his school that ran 3km and out of 91 kids (many much older than him as) he came in 45th place. It was really cool to see his best friend meet him when he had about 500 meters left to run and run with him. His best friend, by the way, got 2nd place among the Grundschule kids (1-4th grades).
Here are results for this year: Anton (5,5 y.o.) finished in 5:43, Andrei (10, 5 y.o. )5:40, Ilya (9)18:12
Last year - Ilya (8 y.o.) 4:55, Andrei (9,5 y.o.) 5:11
2016 - Ilya (7 y.o.) 5:49, Andrei (8,5 y.o.) 6:20
