elliptical and short run. Knee hurt again.

Then ran all over coaching the middle school track championship. Happily, both our girls and boys teams won the conference title.

5v5 frisbee. I didn't play great, had 3-4 bad throws and then the guy I was guarding scored a lot. It was not a day for the record books. Lost 2-5.

AM 4 on elliptical.

relived some memories with the in-laws today. It had slipped my mind, but remembered when Dale bought me a plane ticket to get to Utah, reunite with my family, and make a race after my flight was delayed a day.

very busy at work, no time to workout the past few days (i.e. Wednesday, I was home 10 min total between 6:15 am and 11:15 pm)

Frisbee today, gorgeous weather, 5v5 with slight breeze. I played poorly last week and great today- some good catches, I broke with the norm and was the one catching long bombs today, scored a bunch, only 1-2 bad passes all day. My team won 5-3. Then, 3v3, my team was down 0-2 but came back to win 3-2.

For those who follow such things, the Barkley marathons is going on. Rumor is, after the highest-ever 5 finishers last year, the course is again much harder, with a new 45 min section. It may be years before there's another finisher. I also found out that one of my old running buddies, Carl Laniak, will be the new race director. Pretty cool- he's a chill, nice guy who appreciates the race.

6v6 frisbee. My team had issues in the game- at least 6-8 scores we dropped or misfired on, other mistakes. Should have done better. Lost 3-5.
