Global day of running

Global day of running was yesterday. Fleet Feet organizes a 5K and the proceeds benefit Girls on the Run. Jameson ran 26:31 and was 8 out of 17 male 14 and under. Evelyn ran 29:09 and was 3 out of 9 female 14 and under. I told her when there was 1/4 of a mile left. I said just a 400 and she goes ok bye and just takes off. I ran 29:27 and was 11 out 28 female 40-49.

Photographer also shared the GOTR final 5K photos.

Blankets

I recently finished two crochet blankets. The first one was a baby blanket for my cousin who just had a little boy. I also made two hats to match. The second blanket is for Nate to use at work.

Cross Country

Evelyn had her first middle school cross country meet yesterday. She looked good and was happy with her time, 17:04 for a 3K. This was faster than her team qualifying time which she was proud of.

She gets home so much earlier too but cross country starts tomorrow so that will also change. Evelyn knows at least one person in all her classes and seems to like her teachers. Jameson has the same 4th grade teacher that Evelyn had but was disappointed none of his friends from his third grade class are in his class this year. He knows lots of the girls, but that doesn’t count. Today I got to use two different birthday gifts. Nate and the kids gave me an inflatable SUP. In the morning we went to Leo, rented two kayaks from the FW Outfitters and paddled around the Cedarville reservoir and the st Joseph river. Nate rested in the shade for the first hour while me and ...
