The week

 Tuesday the kids had piano in the afternoon and then asked to go swimming. The pool is just down the road from Mrs Dorian’s house, it was opening day and the weather looked good so I said yes. It was a lot of fun and we got in two hours of swimming before it started to rain.

Wednesday was global running day and we ran a 5K in the evening. We did this event last year, so I knew the course and felt confident that Jameson could run the 3 miles at his own pace. We did talk a lot about race and trail etiquette beforehand. 


Evelyn and I ran a 30:06; 9:41 average. This was faster than her 5K times from last summer. Evelyn was 3rd out of 7 girls 14 and under and 120th overall (there were 281 runners). Jameson ran a PR with a 27:30; 8:51 average. He was 7 out of 24 boys 14 and under and 83rd overall.  He was excited to be in the top 100. 


We also got a ticket for a free item from a food truck which was super exciting. Jameson was hurting after his race, he really pushed himself and didn’t feel like he could eat. Thankfully the food took forever and by the time it came out, he felt much better and could enjoy his hot dog. 


Wednesday was a long day. Despite only going to the library for a program and new books and then mostly just reading at home all day, Jameson crashed on the floor Thursday afternoon.

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.
