Staying Active

Deacon and Channing started Spring soccer season with the Texas Heatwave mid February. Usually Deacon and Cavin play, but this season Channing really wanted to try it out. Cavin will start school soccer the end of March so we decided not to enroll him with the Heatwave as well. Deacon still plays with Coach Wes Brown and he is on the orange Dynamos team. The are still undefeated and he scored 4 goals in the first quarter of his first game. Channing has a team with Coach Anne Johnson our friend called the Tornadoes and she is happy to have some friends on her team as she learns the sport and gains confidence. 

I love to watch them play and improve each week!

March 6th-

The first weekend in March is always the Woodlands half marathon/marathon. For the past decade I have run this race whenever I have been physically able. This year due to financial situations, I decided I needed to save the money and didn't officially register for the race. In effort to keep tradition, I mapped out a route and ran the half marathon on my own. I didn't worry about my time or anything else. I just ran. I ran because I love to run, and I am grateful for the body I have been given. I ran because sometimes our goals look different than we envision them, but that doesn't mean we can't still achieve them. So this half marathon was for me, to remember that there are some things you can't change, but you always have a choice. Today I chose to be positive and reach my own goals, regardless of whether it was an official race or not. It was beautiful weather, I felt great, and Ragnar was there biking beside me the last 3 miles. It is great to have his love and support. 

Deacon also finished his first basketball season with the YMCA. He played on the Ninjas team with Coach Hatch. He did well and loved playing. He is a good athlete and really fun to watch.

I am so grateful we have healthy bodies and we are able to play sports.
