The gift of a healthy body!

This past week the boys and I have finished a portion of our training for various sporting activities. I have been grateful as I reflect on the gift of a healthy, functioning body. It truly can do amazing things! I love watching my boys work hard and try and develop their own.

I have been doing Crossfit for a year and a half now and have come a long way. Sometimes I get frustrated that their are skills that I still can't figure out, but looking back, I have mastered some pretty amazing ones I never thought I could. Yesterday I participated in my second Clovis hero WOD. It is a 10 mile run and 150 burpee pullups. I ended up taking a wrong turn and the course was a little long, so I ended up running 11 miles first, but I felt great. My body is in good shape and I am progressing. I was excited to see Ragnar at mile 8 come to take a picture and say hello. It was the best to look up and see his face. He is a great, supportive husband. I really love fitness and pushing my body and it is a gift to have one I can work with. 

This group of people help push me along each week. 

Cavin also finished his first season of middle school football. I was surprised when he told me he wanted to play cause he is not an aggressive child, but he gave it a go. He was on the A team the first 3 games and then they moved him to the B team to add some body size to the team and help. He was glad because that meant he got to play the whole game. He has a long way to go on being more aggressive, but he made a lot of progress. He is just a gentle giant and I love that about him. 

I was grateful to have my parents come support him in both of his sporting events. 

Cavin also finished his soccer season this week. Ragnar has been his coach for several seasons and I love that they have that love interest together. He is a much stronger soccer player and I enjoy watching him and his dad on the field together. 

Deacon finished his season as a yellow volcano. Wes Brown has been his coach the past 3 seasons and he loves playing for them. He has won every game all three seasons, so I am not sure what will happen when he loses :) Deacon has a lot of natural talent and just loves the game. He lives and breathes sports and it is fun to see his excitement on the field. 

I am grateful that even though the covid virus has taken a lot, that it didn't completely take away our sport seasons. Sports have been such a blessing for the kids and I and it is something our family really enjoys to do together.
