On your marks........... get set.............BANG!!!! I started sprinting with all my might. I was at the front with a pack of kids. I started jogging and I was trying to keep my pace. You could really see the kids that had trained for it because they were just sprinting off, and had soon vanished further down. I had forgotten about my uncle and little cousin that were also doing the mini marathon for the King of the Mountain fun run. I just focused and concentrated so that I could do my best to try and make my family proud. Soon I was down by the Panmure yacht club. As I was coming back up from there I bumped into my uncle and cousin and I said' Hey'. I was getting over taken by this girl that went to my school. I did not want to lose so I promised myself that I would beat her.
When I was getting close to the finish line, I saw my Aunty Wylma and she started cheering me on. It felt good to be supported. When I could almost see the finish line I started sprinting and then woo hoo I had finished and I beat that girl from my school. When I started taking off the tag on my shoe, my Uncle Christian, Phillipa, Belinda and little cousin Hector came to me and said 'nice run Jordan'. My Aunty Stephanie, Dan and other little cousin Faith came and said the same thing and I was happy. I went across the road with my Uncle and little cousin Isaiah. I was thankful that my Uncle and cousin ran with me. At the end of the race, all I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy some time with my family.
