Sunday footie

Ditched the long run and instead attempted to sit down and do some homework with the boys with varying degrees of success.

This week all their football matches coincided around midday with me taking Jack and Ryder who both had games in sunny Catford. I dropped Jack first before dropping Ryder with his coach to then race back and catch Jack’s first half meeting my dad there and then speeding back to catch Ryder’s game.

Ryder (Rydie) is improving all the time but he’s still hands down the worst player in his team. That said, he plays with real gusto and he most importantly thinks that he’s doing great which I find totally adorable. He constantly puffs his cheeks and goes full gas. Jack was back on form scoring a nice goal cutting in from the right and curling a left foot shot into the near corner.

Post games I took Jack, Rydie and Sin (the boy with magic in his feet) to see Lukie’s and Harlem’s second half. They managed to equalise 2 minutes into injury time only to lose the game in the 3rd minute of injury time. Never mind.

Now late into the afternoon I had a 45 minute window until the Liverpool Man City game which was not quite at the level of the Palace game the day before but was great entertainment with the Reds squeezing home 4-3 :). The impetus to get home to see the start made it into a sponstaneous threshold run. 9k in 3.55s on the hilly course and the first k being 5 minutes.

It’s been a good weekend. 106k for the week.
