Have been doing the runs with my 12 year old daughter, we finished W2 R3 last night. She announced this week 'I've realised I'm actually quite good at running, and I've entered the 800m Sports Day race at school'. Running has given her a real boost to her confidence - thank you Laura!

What a great post! It has put a big smile on my face to hear that.

I have been reading this week (as it is Womens Sport Week) a lot about what discourages or deters girls and women from enjoying sport and exercise and it is nice to read a positive story about how you and Laura have helped your daughter feel confident and interested.

Let us know how she gets on in the race ;-)
