Indigenous People/Columbus Day

Yesterday was a holiday for Nate, so we went to free skate at the ice rink in the afternoon.

I like this picture because it makes Evelyn look like she's going really fast, but truthfully she was kind of slow. Nate had her try out hockey skates instead of her figure skates so she didn't have the toe pick she's used to. She took a couple good falls, but overall seemed to adjust well.

Jameson did ok. He really only likes to skate with Nate probably because Nate is able to go faster than I am. He is starting to have moments where he gets it and can march/skate a short distance with you holding him.

The best part of free skate during the week is that the rink is basically empty.

After skating, we drove to Sweetwater music because Nate had a question about his guitar strings. Evelyn and Jameson played all the free arcade games.

And then we discovered this awesome two story slide. Even I couldn't resist a trip down.

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.
