[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep going back to the fact that this doesn't matter.  What was her time?  She didn't do it in 14 minutes, ok.  Was it 14:30?  Was it 15 minutes?  Longer?

I can't imagine caring.  This used to be part of the Presidential Physical Fitness test of the 80s and 90s, which was USELESS.  If she's fit and you don't have health concerns, I would 100% put this in the category of "she does not like running" and never think about it again.[/quote]

It was just over 14 minutes.

Personally, I'm fat and out of shape. I want better for her, which is why I'm thrilled she's doing so well in gymnastics. She's already ahead of where I was at her age. I don't care much that she doesn't like to run, but I do want to help if it's something she'll need to be able to do.[/quote]

Well, there you go - this might be a great "goal" for you both to work on together.

She's still faster than me, unfortunately. We've had some struggles with how she views me lately, and I don't want to add to it. Her dad's been trying, though.[/quote]
