Back in November
Nika and Lina both had a track meet. It was city-wide for children in Astana. Our kids ran in the
youngest 2004-2005 category for 150 meters, so Lina wasn't even supposed to run (she
was born in 2006) but her coach thought she should give it a try. She
did really well. Their coach asked me how come Lina didn't come
training last year when Nika started, because she has a lot of
potential. Well, Lina objects to a lot of things when she thinks she
wouldn't like them.
This year Sophie wanted to do track with Nika,
and Lexa wanted to do whatever Sophie was doing. So, since the other
three kids were doing it, I asked Lina if she wanted to give it a
try. She refused saying that she doesn't like running. I then said
that she should try it for 2 weeks, and then if she didn't like it, I
wouldn't make her. Well, after the first lesson it turned out that
she didn't like it, she LOVED it! And that is how it is with Lina a
lot of time. She also made good friends there. Here are a few
pictures from the meet. I didn't end up taking any pictures of Nika
running because she ran so fast, I wasn't ready with my camera.
