| AM 8 miles before taking kid number 2 to doctor (got pushed off 8 foot high retaining wall and can't put weight on her foot, but is ok). Run felt super slow at the start- seemed like 10 min pace, was actually 8:45. 8:00 pace by the end. 8 miles.

| AM 10 around ICAR. Saw two ladies picking blackberries so joined in for a mid-run snack. Late season (May/June is better) but still good. Warm and very humid, but my longest run in months. 79 min, so I'm estimating 10 miles.

| PM 7.5 at PM with Seth and Aaron on the hottest day of the year (~95 deg, feels like above 100). I felt pretty bad on the first climb but good by the end, but figured stopping when the rest did was smart to not overexhert, and have energy for frisbee tomorrow.

Lunch- mid-90s temp, hottest of the year, made for some painful frisbee. My team lost 5-3. Still fun.

| AM- 8. Started off feeling pretty good and was doing sub 7:30 for a fair amount towards the end. Stayed off GE trails due to lots of rain last night (about 2 inches in under an hour, with LOTS of lightning)
Lunch- not as hot as Friday, but still plenty hot. 6v6 frisbee. My team won 5-1. Tired now.

| PM 10 miles (full loop plus a hair around Lake Placid) at Paris Mtn. There were 5 of us, the most in years, including Barry's first run in a long time. Seth and Barry split off early, Aaron stopped at 7.5, and Merle and I did the full loop. Hot today, but not near as hot as last week.

| AM- 7. Kind of slow, but not death march slow. All on GE trail, but no wildlife sightings of any sore. No people, either.
Lunch- a few degrees cooler than last week and overcast today, with almost no wind, so good summertime playing conditions. 10-13 people (a few injuries and early leavers). My team won 5-3. Really good game today all around, similar to Friday. No slackers on the field. However, the maxim held true- the team that was being outplayed at the start, wins the game to 5. My team was definitely outplayed the first 20 minutes with lots of unforced errors.

| AM- morning run, mostly on GE trail. 2 turkeys, 3 runners (looked like HS runners). Felt pretty sluggish at the start with 8:00 pace and thought of calling it quits. Started feeling better at 30 min, then felt real good at 45 min and picked up the pace quite a bit. Was running about 7:10 pace the last 3 miles or so. Then decided to actually do a little speed workout. Did 1 track loop (.68 miles) at 6:15 pace. Felt nice to run fast.
I signed up for the Moonshiner 5k, a night 5k trail race. I have won it 2 or 3 times, and it was my last competitive race 3 years ago. It will be my first race in over 2 years. I'm excited and actually feeling somewhat motivated to run well, on top of my 3x/week frisbee.
Ankle was hurting a bit, likely due to the shoes (400+ miles, 3.5 years old). Left them in the trash in the gym.

Lunch- frisbee. Very humid, pretty hot. 7v7, other team had one sub. My team won 5-2, then 8 of us did a second game. My team lost 3-0.

| AM- beautiful morning, 60 deg. Ankle feeling better but I'm being cautious so did 60 min bike.
Lunch- Very uneven teams today- my team was definite underdogs, and everyone recognized the big disparity (they probably had the 4 best throwers, and all of them were fast runners, while my team only had 3 runners). During the first 30 minutes, we got skunked. But then the real game started, and my team somehow won 5-2, aided by a tough zone defense and lots of hard work and patience. It had to be one of the biggest upsets I've seen. Then 5v5 game to 3, that we lost 3-1.
