AM – 4 miles easy.
It was like international bike and walk to school day or sumthin like that. JZ decided he’d ride his cycle.
Post JZ’s soccer practice last night, we went over to BHS and caught the second half of the soccer game against Centaurus. BHS was down 2-0 (or is that nil?) when we got there. They won 3-2. Fun stuff.
KZ would have come but she had a ton of homework. The general rule I guess is that a kid is supposed to have 10 minutes of homework per grade level they are in. So in other words, if you are in 3rd grade you have a half an hour of homework. So as an eighth grader she has 80 minutes of homework a night. I am fine with that generally but at time it seems like a ridiculous amount. I know I was not pulling 2 hours a homework a night my senior year. But then again, I guess that is why we are considered behind so many other nations?
I have not had enough coffee yet to read all of this but apparently IM marathons can be 10% shorter than 42.2 kilometers?
A little more on KJB taking a break. Good on him.
This week wrap up from the guys at Flotrack is kind of fun.
Checking out FF with Brandon this weekend. Yes, I am going to a concert to get some of this guy’s musical talent.
Easy mid day over at my office around 1 if anyone is up for it. Quarters tomorrow at 3 at BHS.
I have become pretty bad at reading books recreationally. So I am having the kids queue that stuff up for me. So they have had me read over the last couple of months all the “Lightning Thief” series and now the “Kane” series by Rick Riordan. A sort of related off shoot is that my 13 year old daughter has more or less taken over all the music devices in the home and so I am pretty consistently barraged with Adele (which KZ says is okay but gets boring because she only sings about how elusive some guy is in everyone of her songs) or Sara Bareillis (where KZ really likes the piano stuff that is in there). So kids rule my entertainment choices … (other than the aforementioned FF show this weekend).
Took a wellness assessment at work today. Here are some parts of the questionnaire. Good thing I am not Brownie.
Mid day – got out with Jim, and we headed over to the Open Space south of Rock Creek. I had to show him the pull up bar. We each managed 12. 9 miles.
