7 peaks

We hiked our 6th peak today.  It was a bit chilly, but overall a really nice day to be outside.  Evelyn basically slept for the whole 6.6 mile hike.  She was awake for the beginning and then was just out until we got back to the car and took her out of the carrier.

Peak #6 - Tinker Cliffs

This is the second time Nate and I have hiked Tinker Cliffs.  It is a great hike, but hard.  One portion of the trail has no switchbacks for almost half a mile; it is just straight up.

Very close. If you turn left and then right at the post office in Catawba and then follow that road till you get to the trail head, about 10-15 minutes away. The view actually looks down at Catawba valley just not the part where we live.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
