My boss got promoted at work so I'll soon be getting another. It will be hard for the new one to be better than my old boss. A good boss is a blessing not to be underappreciated.

| Well, I did it. I did my normal hour on the bike... and then ran a mile. It felt ok, but I'm more curious how my Achilles feels tomorrow morning. The short run did enlarge the lump, but anything seems to do that.

| Ultimate frisbee on a 40 deg day. We had up to 20 people, so play 7v7 with 3 subs per side. Too many people. My team won 5-4. Then 8 of us did another game- won 3-2. About 80 min worth of playing- awesome.
Oh, and it's snowing tonight. They say up to 7 inches, but we'll see.

| Lunch- first time playing frisbee in the snow in 9 or so years. Fun times, even if my team lost.
Just finished watching the local team win a game. A little team named Clemson at some National Championship game. It was great. Lots of happy people around here. So technically, the Denver Broncos are reigning Super Bowl champs, and Clemson is reigning college champs. Pretty sweet.

| Stayed up way too late last night watching the college football championship, but it was worth it to see the local Clemson Tigers pull out the win (with 1 second to go, literally). Didn't feel great this morning so only biked for 30 min then ran 1/2 mile.

| Ultimate- as opposed to the below freezing temps on Monday, it was 73 deg today. Wonderful. We had 20 people so split into 2 games. My team won our game 5-2, then a follow up game 2-0.

| Warning: Not for the faint of stomach
Memorable weekend with no working out. My 2 year old started throwing up (violently and repeatedly) Saturday evening (the first puke showed she can projectile vomit down 7 carpeted stairs and onto the floor below), then my 10 year old, then my 8 year old and 3 year old. It was terrible- lots of vomit, then dozens of dry heaves throughout the whole night. They definitely know what stomach acid looks like now. The 3 year old threw up so hard she popped blood vessels in her face.
My wife made two late night shopping trips to buy more carpet cleaner, then saltines and soda, then she threw up, too. I spent most of the night cleaning up and comforting kids, plus doing puky laundry. We put the two year old to bed only for her to completely fill her matress with puke- she was literally sitting in an inch deep puddle. Cleaned her up, put her back to bed (probably at midnight or so), and found her puke coated in the morning. I think I went to bed at 2 am or so.
The only not-sick child was the 5 year old, who is our early riser and woke me up at 6 am (bless his heart). I went to some church meetings then came home just in time for the 5 year old to start puking- Marci did go to church to teach, then I did two home teaching appointments. Other than that, it was a day full of cleaning, doing 6 or more batches of puky clothes and bed sheets, and resting. The kids basically sat on a couch all day, sleeping and watching tv (and I don't feel guiltly about it). I did watch at least part of all 4 football games, amidst all the puking and cleaning. Better games than last week, especially the Cowboys-Packers.
To top it all off, I started feeling bad Sunday evening and, sure enough, started throwing up just after midnight. I slept terribly and felt the same. I woke up at 5:30 am and writhed in pain on the bed for a few hours.
It's now midday Monday and I think we're all done with throwing up, though still very tired and weak. Needless to say, no working out, as I'm weak and even a sip of water sends my stomach into spasms. This is the type of parenting day they don't warn you about.
In case you're wondering, we had root beer floats Saturday with Walmart ice cream, and I'm pretty sure that's what caused all of this. Blah.

| Lunch- rainy all weekend and occasional drizzle during the day, and muddy field, so a great day for frisbee. Nice game of 6v6. 3 people left partway through so I switched teams. Ended up losing 5-3. The field might take a while to recover. Oops.

| Lunch frisbee on a breezy day. We lost the first game 5-4, then had a quick game of 9 people (my team was shorthanded) and got our revenge, 3-0.
I think I would give up running if I could play ultimate frisbee every day. For sure road running, though probably not trail running. But it's a mute point as I can't trail run right now anyway.

| Frisbee- great game today, and one of the more tiring. My throws were generally better than usual, especially long bombs. We won 5-3 (scoring the last 4), then I switched teams and we won 3-1, then 1-0. Very tired and sore afterwards.
Out late with the kids at the circus. Since it is in town and going out of business in a few months, this might literally be the only circus they ever see.

Hour bike, 3 mile run- Mission Impossible 3 was on the TV and I felt great, so I added on 2 more miles than originally intended. I'll see how the Achilles feels tomorrow.

Now that football season is over, my morning workout becomes less interesting as Mike and Mike on ESPN2 basically loses any interest for me. When on the bike, I tend to read on my phone. While running, it's back to Dan Carlin podcasts.

How sad it is.

| Lunch- frisbee on a gorgeous day, although the play was pretty sloppy today for no apparent reason- lots of bad throws and drops. Me included. For the final game, my team went down 1-3, then scored 3 straight, then it was all tied 4-4, then we pulled out the last point and won. It wasn't pretty, though. Oh yeah, and my ankle got smashed, twice. It looks pretty terrible and is very sore/stiff.

Ultimate Frisbee- 70 deg day with little wind and somewhat cloudy. We had 22 people show up, a record, so split into 2 games. I went onto the smaller, new field. We had 4 vs 4, then 5 vs 5. We won 5-3, then combined games of 4v4. We went down 0-2, then scored 3 straight to win. Lots of running. Tired. That's a good thing.

So today is our 13th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by spending $1600 on car repairs, not eating the turkey Marci prepared (it wasn't finished 8 hours after putting it in the crockpot so we had a pizza instead), and dealing with ornery kids all evening. Yeah for anniversaries. Maybe we'll actually go on a date or spend a few minutes together at a future anniversary.

We were a bit outmanned but still won 5-4. Thanks to the wind and drops by everyone, it was the longest game ever. Instead of the usual 10-15 minutes, it took 25. I think the score was 1-0 after 10 minutes. Long field, lots of running.

Started a Whole 30 diet this week which will be 30 days of only whole foods- basically meats, veggie, fruit. No grains, sugars, dairy, legumes. We'll see if it takes off any weight. I'll be interested to see the impact it has, including on my workouts. I've never tried no carb before.

| AM- planned to run 8, but I felt terrible (no carbs will do that to you) so decided to prolong the terribleness. Ended up going 10 miles. 82 minutes, I think- not speedy.
My company is starting layoffs this month. Hundreds of engineers. My manager took a new position and they can't fill his opening due to hiring freeze. Of the 5 people in my group at my location, one was transferred to a different group a few months ago, and 2 more were notified this week that they are being transferred. Either they are getting rid of my group (only 2 people left, no manager) or I'm going to have to do the work of 2-3 people. Fun.

| Am- 10 miles, again. And I felt much better then Wednesday when I plodded along over 8 min pace. My first few miles were a warm up (8:20-8:10) but then I broke 8 min and kept going till 7:30 for a while. I felt fine. 77 min or so. Nice to have a run where I feel a little bit like my own self. I am going to be careful to not overdo anything.

| Lunch run with barry and seth. Mainly talked about layoffs that were happening today. Layoffs suck. We had thought my department wouldn't be hit but we were, hard. My group and basically all groups. I made it through ok, but still tough. They said they will be filling many of the positions except overseas with cheaper labor. We heard more to come, though not sure when. Anyway, I have a job for now.
40 minutes, we'll call it 5 miles.

I've found it interesting how no carbs for 2 weeks has not seemed to impact my exercising at all. I haven't done any runs longer than 80 minutes, so maybe I would feel different at longer distances, but I haven't really felt any energy differences for not eating carbs.

| Well, it's official. Shingles really does hurt. In case you were wondering. Wearing work pants and having to sit all day is the worst, but it wasn't enough to stop my from playing Ultimate. My team won 5-2 with the last point a full field bomb from me to Chris. Beautiful. My one dive was a huge mistake, however, especially since I landed on my back, which is where the biggest concentration of blisters are. Fortunately, they say the pain only lasts 3-5 weeks (!). This isn't going to be fun.
I'll see tomorrow how much running I can do. There are still more blisters growing on the inner thigh, which may stop all activity once they fully develop. This might be a long, painful month.

| I'm officially crazy. I ran 10 miles this morning with Shingles all over my waist/back/left thigh. On the short list of most painful runs of my life- almost stopped in the first 2 miles, but then got used to it. The overall pain has gotten so bad, though, that I couldn't sleep last night, went to the doc for meds today, and plan to rest the next few days. Work clothes are extremely painful, so no work. Shingles is excruciating. The nurse said she sees shingle patients all the time and I have the worst she's ever seen, and the doc agreed it was terrible (you should have heard all the nurses talking in the hall...). Very painful.

| I've finally admitted that shingles hurts and I probably shouldn't go running. I'll try to get a walk in today. I'm staying home for at least a few days. By low riding my pants and having my shirt tied up halfway with a hair band, I can reduce the pain at least somewhat.
I've been surprised how many people have told me they previously had shingles- my coworkers, boss, church friends, family. All agreed it is terrible.
I was asked to give a talk on Easter at church on being strengthened in our trials through Christ. Between the layoffs at work, shingles, and struggling within myself, I've got some good examples, now.

| Lunch- back at work, back to frisbee. Stormy, so a few minutes of hard rain, quite a bit of drizzle, but still had 15 people. We lost 5-3, which is pretty good since I'd saw we were outgunned in terms of good throwers.

| One of my most pathetic workouts ever. Planned to run 8-10 miles. My legs and whole body immediately let me know that wasn't happening. Aborted the run and ended up a slow bike ride for 30 minutes. Pretty pathetic- just very tired. Not sure how much of today was coming back from a week sick and not working out, general tiredness, and the low cal diet catching up to me. Either way, not a day to remember. At least not for any amazing workout reasons.

| I was supposed to go to Paris Mtn for the first time since October, but my shingles is acting up and I've got something very swollen and hard at the top of my left thigh. Not sure if it's a lymph node or what, but it hurts. Plus, I ended up having a long day at work, almost 11 hrs. I did get a run at the very end of the day. I was thinking I'd have to bike due to my leg but ended up doing 6 miles. Felt ok.

| No workout. My shingles nerve pain has come back, and wearing slacks for work rubs my scabs constantly, so they are not healing and infected, with a super swollen lymph node near my thigh/groin makes walking or running or bending my leg painful. So no workour today. Tomorrow doesn't look good, either.
I really don't like shingles.

I played pretty well- a couple bad throws, but generally on target for Def, catching, scoring, and throwing. Afterwards, a few of us were mutually complaining on having to cover some of the other players who we categorize in the "runners" class, all of us fit, sprinting all over the field. We pretty much all agreed that we all hate covering each other cause we have to run so much. Fun, even game today.

Lunch- rains held off so we played frisbee. 13 people, evenly matched game made more adventuresome by the blusstery winds. Fun times. My team went down 2-3 but then scored 3 straight to win.

| Lunch- rough, rough frisbee game. 3 miles running first, then time for ultimate. We didn't do a good job splitting the teams and my team was definitely outmatched. We got whupped almost the whole time. We weren't playing well (bad throws, missed catches) and the other team had better players. We started the game to 5 and the other team immediately scored 2 easy points. I got very frustrated and was working my tail off chasing the disc, counting the thrower, etc. My team started playing a bit better but the score was still 4-2 them. However, with some kind of insane toughness, effort, and luck, we somehow won 5-4. It was tough, tough. After the game, almost my whole team was laying on the ground exhausted, and, for the first time ever, had a team rally after. Game to remember.

| AM 8. Felt pretty good. Started at 8 pace but was at or below 7:30 by mile 2 for the remainder of the run
Lunch frisbee. Humid. The teams were even, but the other team had some very unfortunate turnovers near their endzone, such that my team won 5-0. Not often we have a shutout.

| AM 7. Started 8:30-ish, finished 7:45-ish. That's something I've noticed over the past few years- I generally have to start slower, and may or may not speed up as the run progresses. I used to run normal pace right from the start, now I almost always start slow.

Lunch- frisbee. Way too many people- 21- meant we had 3 and 4 subs per team, which is way too much sitting and makes cohesion hard. My team wasn't playing well and lost the first game 5-2. Second game of 5v5 went better- we won 3-1. Very tired.

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.

| 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.

Lunch- 22 people for frisbee so we did 2 fields. My team won our first game 5-2, then got whupped by the other winning team, 5-2. In our defense, the other team was completely stacked. We still stood a chance if we didn't have some terrible turnovers right at the start and gave them a 4-0 lead.

Lunch- 5v5 frisbee, other team had a sub. They were a bit better skill wise, but we battled hard. Got down 3-0, then battled to tie it 4-4 before losing. We had chances to win but were plagued by bad drops all day. Doh. Unforced errors usually result in a Loss, and today was no different. Always a fun time, though.

| AM- 6 on the treadmill, as it was steady rain outside. Again. Wettest, coolest August I remember in SC.
Lunch- the rain all morning and even during the game kept the people away. 5v5. So humid, the frisbee was wet and slippery, so there were lots of drops. The game to 5 was one of the longest ever, with the 3rd point taking at least 5 minutes. My team got up 4-1, then the other team tied it 4-4 before my team scored the winning point. Fun game today. Very, very tired and sore- my right quad is acting funny and tight, my left achilles was the most painful it's been in a long time.

Until today, when I returned to Paris Mtn after work, and the Feels Like temp was 100 deg. Holy hot. Barry, Seth, Merle, and I did the short route plus I requested Upper Kanuga as I didn't want to push it. Finished with just 5.5 miles in under an hour. Didn't stop sweating for a long time. Hopefully I'll be up to the longer route next week.

| AM 8 around home. Then worked for home to watch the solar eclipse. We had totality here in Greenville, and it was really awesome. Unique sight, very beautiful. Seeing the corona was my favorite. It was not as dark as I thought it would be- the sky was purple and blue, not black, but you could see a few stars and planets. There were also strange-shaped shadows, shadow waves, and the diamond ring. Neat day, I'll definitely remember this one.

| PM- PM with Merle, Aaron, and Seth. Lots of talk on the eclipse. Aaron and Seth didn't see totality due to clouds, which is too bad. Hot, mid 90's. Merle and I did the whole 10 mile loop, and I felt pretty good. Hope I feel good tomorrow, as well.

| AM 6 on GE trail. Biggest group of turkeys I've ever seen, 9 or 10
Lunch- 6 v 6 ultimate. Hot and humid. My team was down 0-2 but then won 5-3. We probably had a better team, especially since right at the start of the game we lost our worst player and they other team lost their best. Still, the other team scored the first 2.

| AM- 8 miles, 2x GE trail. 7 deer, 1 turkey, no people. Not sure if I was moving fast or slow. I know slow at start but maybe faster by the end? I keep finding the near on the other side of the GE chain link fence from me, and they freak out and try to run away even though I can't get them. Even seen one jump it, plus others run into it or other things. If they just stood still, they would be just fine.

| AM- not as hot in the mornings anymore, mid-60's. Ran 7 miles, most on GE trail. Saw 1 turkey, no deer, no people. Solitude. Still listening to Hardcore History podcast during runs. Right now I'm working through the Punic Wars series.
I'm enjoying my solo morning runs with podcasts. Not sure what I'll do when it's cold, dark, and rainy in the morning- probably sometimes outside, sometimes treadmill. Of course, treadmill is more enjoyable once NFL season starts so I can watch Mike and Mike. Although I'm doing my best to minimize time spent on football this season.
Lunch- ultimate frisbee. It's been a while since I had a bad game- Wednesday, for example, I was catching pretty much everything and all my throws were going where I wanted, even the long ones. Not today. Real stinker of a game- a few bad drops, but mainly lots of bad throws. Short, medium, long... bad. 20 people, so 2 games. My team lost the first one 5-1, then the second 5-3. Then we cobbled together 8 people for 1 more game, which we lost 5-3. Blah. Always fun, but a real stinker for me today. The good news was we played for almost 90 minutes between all the games, not finishing till 1:30.

54 miles for the week, between frisbee and running. That's my highest in 14 months. That mileage used to be a normal training block Mon-Wed.

| AM 6. Cooler out. Didn't feel stupendous but I guess I was running well- 7:30ish at the end.
Lunch- 20 people at frisbee, so 2 games. My team won the first 5-4, lost the second 3-5. Windy day made for some adventure.

| PM- well, today was a huge bummer. Beautiful, 78 deg temps for a run at PM with Aaron, Merle, and Seth. But my right shin, which was twinging a bit yesterday, was complaining with each and every step, right from the start, and it didn't get better. After 2 or 3 miles, I called it a day and walked the 3 miles back to the car. Yes, walked. That stunk, but hopefully a few days rest will make it happy.

Lunch- ultimate. 19 people, a record for Wednesday (before last week, we never had more than 15). My team won 5-3. Cool and not windy. Very nice. The remnants of Harvey come today, though, for a few days. Shin was ok but started hurting the last 10 minutes.

Lunch- ultimate frisbee during a hard rainstorm. I'll take credit for this one, as I talked most the participants into coming. We actually had a fun 7v7. Good fun. My team lost 5-1, then won 3-2. Shin started to hurt a bit more distinctly the last few minutes.

Lunch- memorable day. Played 80 minutes of frisbee in a hurricane. Or what is left of a hurricane. We actually had a bit of a low spot in terms of wind and rain for most of the game, so it wasn't too bad for the most part. It was fun.

I've had 3 coworkers die in the past 2 weeks. Two of them were in their 50's- one passed away in his sleep, one in a car wreck. Maybe I'm next. My main observation from it is that people are a bit stunned at first, but then life goes on just fine without them. So it goes, as a great writer once said. Indeed.

| AM 4 run on GE trail, then 2 xt. Ran right next to 4 turkeys, one of them chased me a bit. My Hokas seem to be the shoes that help my shin feel the best.
I have an iPod Nano 6th generation, my second of the same type. The first died after a few years due to the power button not working anymore (spring died so it would not pop back up). I've had this one 5 years now. I completely shattered the screen last year but I still love it. The Volume Down button stopped working today, though, and the power button is about toast, too. This makes me very sad as I love this iPod. It's a very nice size with a built-in clip for running, stores lots of podcasts (my listening item of choice during runs), and has an FM radio, which is useful as my gym uses radio transmitters to broadcast the sound for the TV's on display. I cannot find any reasonable replacements in size and with a radio, so will likely buy an iPod Nano 7, which is also discontinued but may still be available. It doesn't have the clip and is a bit bigger. I do not want to run with my phone as it is large and expensive, plus does not have radio for the gym.
If I could find new iPod nano 6's, I'd buy them all. Pity when good products disappear.

Lunch- tied the record for most ultimate players with 24. My team won the first game 5-3, then lost the next 3-5. Fun times. Lots of running, tired. Played pretty well today in the catching and defense front. Also fairly well on the throwing, though a few misfires, plus a few good throws that were dropped.

Lunch 18 people at ultimate, so 1 field. Nice weather. I rarely go into the end zone but had several long throwers on my team so spent a lot of time there. Caught probably 4 or 5 bombs for scores. And I think I only had 2 or 3 bad throws the whole time. However, when it counted, my team still lost. Doh.

Lunch- frisbee. We had 24 last Wednesday but only 11 today. We played 5 vs 6, with everyone on the field. My team was down a person. Then a few left so we had 4v4 when it counted, on a big field. We had some bad turnovers right at the start and got down 3-0 after just a few minutes while completing only 1 or 2 passes. Then we calmed down and won 5-4. To be fair, we should have won based on the teams as we had a lot more speed.

| Lunch- frisbee. My team won 5-4. Good battle.
PM- Ran the Moonshiner night trail race for the 4th time. I'd won it all 3 previous times but knew I would not today. This race was my first since Western States over 2 years ago. Was pretty worried about my shin. Wife and father ran, too. I really didn't know what to expect- I figured 20 min and top 10 would be amazing but unlikely (there are 300+ runners). Warmed up a few miles, then race time. I figured I'd go hard (first fast miles in 1+ year) and see what happened.
I found myself just behind the Honnettes at the first singletrack at .25 mile and kept a bit of a gap as I like to see the trail in front of me. I was breathing hard and my hands were already tingly, but I thought it might be sustainable. During the .75 mile road to the halfway mark, co-worker and frisbee buddy Jason passed me, but then I passed him and the Honnettes just before we hit the singletrack for the last 1.5 miles. I pushed hard on the singletrack and really felt great- I was able to go fast and did not feel like I was dying. I passed 2 guys within the first half mile, then was alone for a while. With about .5 mile to go, I came close to another guy, but then he picked it up a bit and held me off just as I started to run out of steam. Ran right next to a copperhead near the finish. Came in 19:55, which was a surprise, and found out later I was 9th overall and 2nd age group. Very surprised I was top 10- I thought there were probably 15 guys ahead of me. Overall I felt great, even my shin, and was very happy with my speed and placing. It was better than expected.
The guy just in front, Brandon, said he recognized me from a few years ago, except I "was a lot skinnier then" (ouch, but true). Then cheered in my dad to age group win and Marci.
It was a lot of fun to race again. If I can get my leg right, I'd like to do it more. This is a special race to me as running fast on trails at night is very unique. I carry a big light (3 AA batteries) in my hand to really light up the trail and show shadows. It works better for me than a small light on the head.
Very fun to race again.

| AM- shin felt better than expected so I ran all 6 miles today. Foam rolling after was painful, though.
Lunch- I got beat up at ultimate today. I had a hard collision with another guy that made an audible crack heard by me and others, that ended with me laying on the ground with the wind knocked out of me and some very sore ribs. It limited my running the rest of the day. I don't think it as bad as the last rib injury, but still painful. I also blocked a very hard throw that bruised my hand. Like I said, beat up. But my team won 5-2.

Lunch- decided to try frisbee, knowing I'd be limited to mainly jogs with minimal fast running. I covered a few of the girls, but even then they could pull away from me a bit. I also pulled away a few times, even scoring once. One nice part about Ultimate is that everyone can play, no matter your level or speed. I was throwing well today so stayed in that role. My team won 5-3.

| Went hiking in the Smokies the past few days with my father. We did about 30 miles in 3 days, including hiking to Charlie's Bunion and Mt La Conte. I had never heard of Mt La Conte, but it has an amazing system of nice cabins you can rent. My calves are sore, but especially my back thanks to complications from my rib injury.
Monday- AM bike easy, just to move the legs and get out some soreness
Lunch- frisbee. Still hampered in my speed, and playing seemed to make add to my soreness. My whole back is quite painful now. My team won 5-2, at least.

| AM first workout in a week. 30 min bike, then ran a mile. Felt ok. Sluggish and ribs are not perfect, but good enough to not have sharp pains. Only ran one mile as I figured I'd play frisbee at lunch if it wasn't raining.
Lunch- 6v6 frisbee. We weren't playing well (especially me) but picked it up when the game started and we won 5-3. As opposed to being severely limited like last week, I kept pushing a bit more and found I could go almost full speed, at least for short bursts, but then being out of shape (2 weeks no running) would fatigue me. Still, big improvement, and it's only the last few days my ribs and back have not been moderately limiting or worse. I'll take it.

| AM GE held another family fun run today. First was the costume contest (my 9 year old won a prize), then the race of somewhere around 5k. I had one teenager near me for the first half mile, then I was in front with the pace bike the rest of the way. We had to shoo 10 turkeys off the trail near the start, and several deer ran near racers. The RD had put lots of great halloween decorations all along the trail, some of which were pretty scary to my young kids. I ran moderately hard and won by a couple of minutes. I think my time was 20:30 or so. Marci and my 2 oldest ran, as well. Finally, the 3 youngest did the half mile fun run and loved it.

Lunch- rain let up a bit during lunch, though the wind didn't. I had meeting till 12:30 so missed most of frisbee, but made it for the last 20 min, just in time for the official game. Windy and crazy, 4v4. My team won 5-2.

Lunch- today was the long planned Grandkids vs Geezers ultimate game. Split point ended up being 34 years old, so I was a geezer. Geezers got our butts kicked the first 30 minutes, then the game started and we won 5-3. It was all due to patience on offense, only making good passes. It sure wasn't due to being faster overall or more athletic. Chalk one up to wily veterans.

| AM- 6 slow. Saw 1 person on the trails (shocking), 1 deer, no turkey.
Lunch- such great weather for frisbee. 21 people, so 2 games. My team got lucky and won the first one against a better team. 4 of the 5 points were long bombs from Travis to the endzone, lots of luck. We were up 4-3 in the second game but then gave up 2 straight points.

| AM 7
Lunch frisbee. 7v7 with a few subs. The other team was more stacked than mine and kicked our butt for a while, but we pulled it together just in time for game to 5. It was a battle to 4-4. Then, in an incredibly long point, we had 4 drops in the endzone, and they had a few (some of the drops were very contested). We finally pulled out the last point and won 5-4. Oofdah.

| AM 6. Saw 8 deer and a coyote, the first one I'd seen behind GE. He was rather large for a coyote. I was withing about 20-30 yards before he saw me and ran.
Lunch- classic 7v7 frisbee battle. My team triumphed, 5-4. The other team had more speed and youth, but we had the wisdom. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

| Mid morning 8 on trail. Just 1 deer, I think and no people on the trail. 7:45-8 pace. Such a nice time of year to be outside. I finished the Death Throes of the Republic series of Hardcore History. Not my favorite series. I much prefer the WWI (his magnum opus), Oestfront, and King of Kings series. Next up is the Mongols one, which is still new to me. I think I have 7 total that I have not listened to, then I'll repeat 48-59 before listening to the newest one, number 60, on Julius Caesar and the Gauls. I much prefer listening to podcasts while running over running with people these days.

| AM 8 on GE trails. Saw 1 animal through the trees- maybe a deer? Nothing else. Fewest in a long time. Felt good, started 8 min pace and finished 7:15 or so
Lunch- 21 people for frisbee, so 2 fields. My team won the first game 5-2, and the second game 5-3. 35 minutes of actual game time, rather than the typical 10-20 min. Very tired by the end. Oofdah. Very tired.

| Supposed to go to Paris Mountain, but I drank so much water (long story) that I was borderline hyponatremic so bailed out. Dizzy, headache, etc. Folks, don't drink a gallon in half a day.
In related news, I have a 6 pound cushion in my work "Maintain, don't gain" contest over the holidays. I would rather have gone running, though.

Layoffs on going at work. Some teams are losing 30-40%. Cuts will continue into next year. It's not a fun feeling- same as I had for 3 years in Utah before leaving there. On Q&A video with HR head today, someone asked what GE is doing to keep employees since other companies pay more and are doing better. The only reason she had was to tell us to think of the pride we have in working for GE. Seeing as companies today don't reciprocate much loyalty to employees, it's not much of a reason.

| AM- 8 on a chilly morning. Moved along ok. 6 deer. 0 people. I haven't seen the turkeys since I saw the coyote. Maybe he ate them. That would be nice. Happy Thanksgiving, Wile E.
Lunch- ultimate. 23 people, so 2 games. My team kept playing poorly with some stupid plays. We were down 4-2 in the first game but battled back to win. In the second game, we were also down 4-2 and battled back to tie it, at which time one of our team mates got upset at something said by a member of our own team (we still aren't sure what) and stormed off. We then lost. Still fun.
In other news, Christmas music has returned to the local radio station. Yea!

Lunch- 7v7 frisbee on a beautiful day. The other team had more speed, but we played pretty well, though the end score didn't reflect how close the game was. We lost 5-2.

| AM- 8. Saw about 10 deer and 10 turkeys. Ran right next to the turkeys, including an annoyed male. On the return trip, 3 females blocked the trail and led to me re-routing. Below 32 deg.
Lunch- ultimate. 6v6. My team was whupping the other team most the day, which, sure enough, means we lost. We were up 3-1 before the other team scored 4 straight, all to the same guy.

| AM 6- low 30's. 5 deer, nothing else
Lunch- 7v7 frisbee. Fun game today, relatively well played. I wasn't throwing terrifically at the start but my team won 5-2. Then we did a 4v4 game that my team lost 3-2, though both our points were LONG bombs from me to a sprinting Adrian. That was pretty awesome.

| PM- PM with Merle, Seth, Lynn. Seth dropped off before 3 miles, Lynn did the normal short loop, and I decided to join Merle for the full loop. Felt good. The first half was in the light and we saw 4 people. The second half was in the dark and we saw 20 or so bikers.

| AM- 8. Ran right by a group of about 9 turkeys, including 3 toms, at the start of my run. First time I've seen 3 males. Also saw 16 deer during my run in small groups. On the way back, I armed myself with rocks and a stout branch for a fight with the turkeys, but they had moved 20 yards off the trail and didn't charge me.
Lunch- frisbee. 65 deg, gorgeous. 7v7, but not my finest day- I had a few open receivers in the end zone that I missed, and then I dropped the winning point at the end. We lost 4-5. Doh.

| AM 8. 3 deer. Felt good all run
Lunch- 15 people for frisbee. I had 2 drops but played well otherwise, including a few great dives/slides that left me scrapped up on my right side. Once the grass is dormant, sliding on it is more painful than during summer. My team won 5-3.

| PM- Paris Mountain. Aaron and Seth ran for the first 30 minutes, then peeled off leaving Merle and I for the remainder. I felt ok but was moving slowly and kicking rocks a lot. Still fun. It started drizzling just as we finished, which quickly became a strong storm. We finished at the perfect time.

| AM- 7. Saw a runner on the trails, which is very rare. Didn't see any turkeys or deer until the end when I was at the buildings at the end and a couple flew by.
Lunch- frisbee. The other team tried a zone defense, and, for the first time ever, my team repeatedly broke the zone. We won 5-2.

| AM- It was around 40 deg and supposed to rain, but I still went outside. Nice 8 miles on GE trails, which is where I run every morning these days. Moving faster than the rest of this week. 3 deer.
Lunch- In 36 deg temps with windchill in the high 20's and with a wintry snow/slush/rain mix falling from the sky, 9 of us were adventurous to play ultimate frisbee. It was a blast. We had one of the players switching sides- each time the team with 5 people scored, she went to the other side. My team won 5-3, scoring the last 2 points while down a person. Sweet.

| AM- 5 miles in a great snowstorm with non-stop huge flakes falling. I caught many in my mouth. I know this is normal in cold states, but rare here, and I loved it. Slow pace, 9 min start, 8:20 finish. It's my first 60 mile week in 18 months.

| AM- I'm intentionally doing a recovery week with lower miles. Felt good but only ran 6 miles instead of tacking on the typical 8+. 5 deer, plus 1 runner right at the start of the trail.
Lunch- 7v7. My team got our butt kicked during the warmup, with lots of unforced errors. Finally got it together and won 5-3 for the official game, even though I'd say the other team was better overall. Blustery wind plus sub-par play overall made for a bit of a sloppy day. My throwing was especially rancid today. Oh well, still won.

| AM- 6 easy. 7 or so deer, 1 person. I need to learn his name, as he's the only one I see on the trails in the morning.
Lunch- frisbee on a windy day. 5v4, with my team having the extra person buy losing 5-0. It was painful.
I'm having sleep issues again. I haven't had more than 5 hours of sleep in 2 or 3 weeks, and often only get 3 hours. I'm awake most mornings before 5 am, often before 4 am. I'm tired. And stressed. I didn't get home Monday from work till 7:30, and I didn't get home last night from all my obligations until almost 9:30. I'm getting worn out.

| I decided to make my easy week very easy, so no morning run.
Lunch- 16 people at frisbee. My team kept making unforced errors. We lost 5-2 and I think we were lucky it was that close. Then 10 of us did second game. My team was down 2-0 but then scored 3 straight for the win.

Lunch- frisbee. My team was playing horribly most of the first part. Well, both teams were, but moreso mine. Then the game started and we won 5-3. So it goes. Seemed to be more running today, or I was more tired than usual.

| PM- Everyone else was busy, so I ran solo at Paris Mtn. Figured I might as well go early and run in the light, so left work at 2:15. 70 deg when I started- nice weather, but I was thirsty the whole time (didn't bring water bottle). Ran the usual full loop plus a bit more. Lots of people on the trails. I think our normal 4:30-ish start time has us at a sweet spot when the dayhikers are gone but the evening mountain bikers aren't out yet, so we often go an hour seeing no one. Very slow run today.

The group certainly has not changed (I was quickly reminded by some of the crude discussion). Ran an hour, then we all went to Chipotle together. I like Aaron- hopefully I'll still see him at PM.

| I was fairly sick for a number of days, the I've been potty training my 2 year old full time, so today is the first day I got out for a run. 3 miles on a 35 deg breezy day- only wore shorts and short sleeve t-shirt, no gloves or anything. I got some strange looks, but don't mind the cold. You see lots of people around here running in tights, jackets, hat, and gloves even on 50 deg days.
