[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 490845, member: 3493"] WOW! Your difficult child did a mile in 19 minutes. When my difficult child was that age, it took him 20 minutes to do a QUARTER mile! When the teacher made him do it again the next day, he got the same exact time. When the teacher called, he said he was sort of impressed because it was outside and there were no clocks and difficult child didn't wear a watch but he still managed to get the same exact time. It turned out that difficult child has flat feet and the running was actually painful for him. Once he hit 10th grade and could take adventure gym - no team sports at all, he did much better. I, on the other hand, still cringe at the memory of the time there was a fire drill (in a NYC winter) and we had to go outside in our hideous uniforms - gym was not coed yet so the boys didn't usually see us in those outfits.
