AM Elliptical and run. Left knee is sensitive, I will try to wear my patella strap for a while. Will do strength/core class at lunch. This afternoon is cross country conference championship race. Both boys and girls teams have won every meet this year so I hope that continues. Also found out they will award All-Conference team to only the top 6 runners overall, not the top 7 as in past years. There should be some great competition so hopefully my runners really step up and run well- there's no feeling quite like pushing yourself and doing better than you thought possible.

Cross country update- both boys and girls team completed perfect seasons, winning the conference championship after winning ever prior race. Boys took 4 of the 6 All-conference slots (our 4th runner finished .02 seconds ahead of 7th place) and girls took 3 of 6 slots. My daughter earned All-Conference honors all 3 years of her middle school career, the only one to do so. It was a good season and I'll miss these kids.

9 people at frisbee on a beautiful day. All 9 played, my team had 4. We were down 2-3 but scored 3 straight to win. On game 2, no one scored for 5 min, then the other team won 3-0.

Elliptical at gym at night

Still keeping busy with the kids. My 4th kid is doing well at soccer. Her team was 7-0 going into today with 25 goals scored and only 1 given up, going against their rivial team (also 7-0, 18 goals for and 1 against). They got down 0-1 in first half but then won 3-1. My second daughter played a team they've never beat in 3 years, with both teams 6-1 coming in. They tied 0-0. My oldest daughter set another PR in the Region XC meet.

Great frisbee day. 13 people, my team had sub. My team was killing the other team in warmup, so of course we lost 4-5. Then we won 3-0.
