Jared makes Newton North Varsity Soccer Team

Jared successfully competed against 80+ other athletes for a slot on the 2013 Newton North varsity soccer roster. He was one of 5 underclassmen to make the 22 man squad. He’ll likely be spending a lot of time here while he brings back his rusty soccer skills, but he’s been getting a good amount of playing time in scrimmages (photos).

The team has its first game on Tuesday night in Walpole (72min from Cape) at 7:30. The full schedule is linked on the sports.priorfamily side bar.

Karen crushes the Columbus Half Marathon

Karen ran the 13.1 mile Columbus Half Marathon Sunday clocking a 2:04:25 (9:30/mile pace). She finished in the top half of her age group in her 2nd running race ever (results. She ran the first 6 miles at 9:53/mi pace and accelrated the last 7 averaging 9:02/mi, finishing the 2nd half of the race in under an hour.

From Karen:

Columbus Half Marathon in the books! 13.1 miles down, 13.1 more miles to go. I didn’t want to drag my family to the race, because that would be kinda cruel to get them out the door at 6 a.m. just to wait around for 2 hours, but let me tell – my little one carried me through those last couple of miles.

Next up is the Columbus Marathon on October 20th.
