Check up

 Today was our busy day. I met a friend for a run in the morning. Evelyn and Jameson had their yearly check ups in the afternoon. The doctor said they both looked and sounded healthy. Jameson is 55 lbs (67th percentile) and 50 in tall (80th percentile). Evelyn is 66 lbs (55th percentile) and 53.25 in tall (63rd percentile).  They each gained exactly 8 lbs in a year.  Evelyn grew 1.75 inches but Jameson grew 3.25 inches. The doctor did think Evelyn was just late for a growth spurt. 

Then it was straight back to school for  basketball practice for Evelyn and home to finish up Jameson’s science fair project. We picked up Evelyn, ate dinner and then to church for upward basketball practice.



Jameson’s project was to test what product - soap and water, just water, baby wipes or hand sanitizer - best cleans your hands.  We each washed our hands using a different technique and then touched a piece of bread. Then Jameson waited to see if any mold would grow. Surprisingly, the most mold grew on the soap and water piece of bread, the technique Evelyn used. Jameson concluded his sister did not watch her hands very well.

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.
