Sports week

 Summer activities have started! Evelyn had basketball camp in the morning. A friend from school was also able to attend which was fun. It was jersey day for the last day of camp. She is also playing on a summer rec team. Only a few girls signed up, but Evelyn was brave and said she’d play on a co ed team. It’s her and 6 other boys but Nate said her first practice went really well.


Jameson tried out for a soccer team that’s a step up from rec but not quite full travel.  I’m not sure when we will hear back from the coaches but he starts summer rec soccer later in the month. 


Yesterday was global day of running and the Big Run 5K organized by Fleet Feet. Fleet Feet donated $5 for every race participant to GOTR, so we were there to thank runners and try to recruit coaches for the fall. I still got to run with Evelyn and Jameson. Jameson ran 27:21 and was 8 out of 18 boys 14 and under. Evelyn (and myself) ran 31:08 and was 3 out of 16 girls 14 and under. I was 17 out of 43 in my age group. 


One of the nicest coaches (in pink) wanted a picture after the race.

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.
