I'm retired from racing. Really.

Ran 3 miles, did some rehab, which keeping my eye on the first CFB game 

XT

Ultimate frisbee. First time in a long time. 6v6, intermittent strong wind. I played well- first 3 throws were bad, but then did fine after that (hit my teammates 4 times in the hands in the endzone they dropped, not my bad). Had 2 great diving scores, 2 blocks. Knee and foot actually felt ok. Hope they do tomorrow, too. My team lost first game 2-5 then won 2-0.

elliptical and weights

My knee is still sore from frisbee on Friday. I'm thinking my knee will never really get better.

Did elliptical, stretching, some rehab exercises, then some upper body weightlifting.

strength class at gym

11 people at frisbee. A bit cool, sunny, some wind. My team made too many unforced errors (mainly drops) and were down 0-3, tied it, then lost 3-5. Lost game two 2-3.

went to gym while son at evening karate class. then went home and found I had 101F temp. no wonder I feel so bad.

weight class

Frisbee, 4v4, other team had sub. Lots of running. Not the cleanest games with some bad throwing from most people (cold and a little wind didn't help). My team won 5-3.

Been very busy at work and home, haven't had a chance to workout till today. Didn't even get to do the normal lunch weights class. Played frisbee instead- 10 people, great weather (low 70's, sunny, somewhat windy). Through a series of unfortunate events (bad turnovers and bad luck), my team was down 0-3 but then tied it. Eventually lost 4-5. Won game 2 2-0.

elliptical, then weights. First track meet of the season tonight for our team of 50. They did well though the head coach's daughter may have broken her wrist with awkward landing warming up for long jump somehow.

elliptical before going to track practice

elliptical, ran 1 mile (knee didn't feel great)

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.

Strength class

elliptical. legs are so sore from lifting yesterday

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.

Kettlebell class

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.

kettlebell class. back gonna be sore

strength class

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.

a bit of elliptical then a few minutes of treadmill watching early NCAA games 

strong back class, then elliptical

kettlebell class

elliptical, then ran a mile. Knee was twinging a bit by the end

strength class

tabata class. not easy

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.

weight lifting with my son and some elliptical

busy week. 30 min elliptical

intense strength class at gym

elliptical

strength class. that's all I had time for, and I showed up late and left early

Frisbee- great temps, a little breeze, nice. 5v5, other team had sub. My team won 5-3. Then, worn out, we couldn't do much next game and lost 0-3, though should have scored (there were 2 easy passes to me that would have been goals, but both of them the throws went bad). Fun times.

no time for gym- up at 4:30 am, gone before 5 for huge track meet, not home till after 11 pm. Daughter set PR's in 3200m (by 36 sec) and 800m (3 sec). Very huge, competitive meet- 156 teams, and saw some fastest-HS-time in nation performances (really- they were announcing them live). In women 400m hurdle, the top 4 finishers had the 10th, 9th, 2nd, and fastest time nationwide this season.

strength

elliptical

strength class

14 adults and 2 kids for frisbee, pretty warm and windy. My team won 5-3, then a few left so I switched teams. My new team won 5-2.

strength class

Elliptical, then did 1 min bench reps. Gonna feel that a bit.

strength class. it was a hard one today

5v5 frisbee. my team was killing the other team at the start, then we relaxed and got beat in the game, 4-5. I normally never drop any but had 2 bad drops today.

Didn't go to strength class cause my hip flexor is absolutely killing me right now. Did 30 min elliptical instead.

hip flexor feeling well enough to do some workout, walking and elliptical for 30 min

strength class. Not overly hard, don't think I'll be too sore after this one

upper body strength class

lower body strength class

no working out the past few days, had work and then car shopping.

no workout but was at state qualifiers for track. my daughter did better than expected in the 1600m, 7th fastest time in state, so advances to state championship next week. PR for her, too.

strength class. my oldest is graduating from high school tomorrow. She's excited for it and to go to college. It will be good for her.

17 people for frisbee, huge crowd, on sunny, warm but not hot, windy day. A lot of new or less-experienced players combined with the wind made for a rough go of it. My team struggled in the warmup but won 5-3 in the end. I had to leave a couple minutes early to go to autobody shop (my 16 year old was in accident and totaled our 2005 Camry in March. I replaced it with a new Mazda 3 for me 2 weeks ago, and my 18 year old just sideswipped a parked backhoe with it this week- sheesh)

24 people for frisbee on hot, humid day. Lots of subbing. I didn't play well, had 4 bad throws. My team lost 3-5 and 0-2.

Strength class.

Got a new puppy today- only 6 weeks old, a little mini goldendoodle. All reddish brown. My kids had been wanting another dog for 6 months and my 2nd kid wanted only a dog for her 17th birthday this week.

upper body strength class, then 30 min elliptical

elliptical

6v6 frisbee. My team won 5-3 and 3-1.

strength class and 30 min elliptical

upper body strength class, 30 min elliptical

elliptical, some leg lifting

hot day, 4v4 frisbee. My team had no answer for the young, tall XC runner on the other team. He caught all 5 points and my team lost 2-5

We've got our first heat wave in a few years, close to 100 deg and feels like above that. We still held XC optional summer run, and 3 kids showed up (2 coach's kids, 1 other). Ended with water fight. I actually ran about 2 miles, my first other than frisbee in a while. My knee doesn't like downhills but ok other than that.

frisbee on a very hot, humid day. My team won 5-3.

power surge class

upper body lifting class

frisbee, won 5-3. So hot.

frisbee. so hot, upper 90's. my team didn't stand much of a chance based on team composition, and we lost 3-5

elliptical and weights

Was with my parents last week, first time since I got married that I had solo time with them. Did some good hikes and Zion and at Great Basin NP. Even did a bit of trail running

very hot, 6v6 frisbee. my team played poorly and lost 2-5.

elliptical and power surge class

lots of elliptical

Was curious so just looked up blog numbers. Less than 1% of all time FRB users still active. Only 32 of us updated in the past month. Pretty small crew still using this to record workouts. Back in the day, we even had a future Olympian on here. Was there more than just one?

elliptical

Frisbee. Hot day, not the cleanest play between the heat, sweat, and breeze. My team won 5-4.

XC practice. Ran 1-2 miles with the last kid.

weight class

no official workout but spent all day at the whitewater center, rafting, ropes courses and zip lining

elliptical

First day of cross country. Looks like 46 or so kids on the team this year. That's a lot of middle schoolers. Should be fun.

afternoon- 30 min elliptical. evening, XC practice.

elliptical. then XC practice later.

it was a very hot, muggy frisbee game. 6v6, my team fortunately had a sub. I think it really helped us by the end, plus the other team started making stupid mistakes. We won 5-1, almost a shut out.

limited running at XC practice

Lunch- upper body lifting class and 30 min elliptical.

PM XC practice

elliptical and weights at gym

frisbee game. warm, wet. Sloppy play, my team gave up 4 straight points. Lost 3-5.

strength class. also some running with XC practice, not enough to record

frisbee. we started off 4v4 but then ended up 5v4, the other team gave my team the extra. We took advantage of it and won 5-3. Then we did 3v3, i switched team, and my new team won 2-1.

First XC meet of the year for my team tomorrow. Most our meets are middle-school only, small races. This one is high school and the single biggest race in the state- between 6 races tomorrow, there are almost 4000 runners. My team has about 25 running in the two JV races. Should be fun. I also really enjoy seeing my old runners who are now on high school teams.

My wife got home after 9 days in Utah/Idaho dropping off my oldest at BYU and attending a wedding. It was stressful being a single parent of 4 kids with TONS of activities.

ran a ton at XC meet, cheering on my daughter's race then the team I coach. 

hard weight class. some running at xc practice too

xc

frisbee. I think it was 6v6. Quite the battle, both teams had drops and bad passes, but hard fought. My team won 5-4. One guy from the other team after called me the MVP, that was nice.

Marci wanted to go running. I honestly think my knee would take much, figured 2 miles. It wasn't fast, running with Marci and Josie. But by george, I made it all 4 miles.

some running during XC practice

lunch- upper body lifting class for an hour, then some elliptical. 

pm- some running around at our XC meet. Girls team won again, boys 5th.

elliptical and run

frisbee. 7v7. good game, long points. my team won 5-3. I played well.

lots of running and walking around getting set up for my XC meet tomorrow. We've gone from 200 runners to over 300 in just a few years. We don't have the parking for it so are having to be creative. After a week of pleading, I also convinced my AD to get 2 port-o-pottys, not one.

XC race day. Went very well. I love the course- it's a real XC course running singletrack through the woods, along ponds, mowed weeds and grass, plus it crosses a large stream and then finishes .25 miles up a steep hill! One of the best HS teams in the state helped clean up course markings and their runners said they wish they did races like that. I love it but it's a tiring day for me- I think I did over 12 hours of XC stuff, getting to bed at 2 am. Feeling very worn down and a bit sick.

Our team races well- the girls won and are undefeated in the MS races. Boys did their best yet, placing 3rd.

XC season has 2 more races.

elliptical and weights, then ran a bunch during practice

frisbee on hot day, 16 people. My team trailed 1-2 but scored 4 straight for the 5-2 win.

lunch- weight class. pm- running around some at the XC meet

Lunch- 15 people played frisbee. My team had the sub and was doing well, then we swapped. The game to 5 was ugly, my team got shut out after terrible play (bad throws, dumb throws, bad defense, etc). Been a long time since I lost 0-5. We played again and my team won 3-2.

some elliptical. then some running playing hat tag at our last regular XC practice of the year. Conference Championship is tomorrow- hope they run well 

lunch- upper body strength class

PM- Conference Championship meet for my XC team. Boys did ok, 4th overall (our 2nd place runner dropped out 75% into the race, otherwise would have been 3rd). Girls remained undefeated this season and won the race in dominating fashion- my runners 5 thru 9 would have won. With the boys getting 4th out of 11 teams, it's the first time either team didn't place 1st or 2nd, and also the first time not having an All-Conference (top 7) finisher. Girls had 2 AC.

Girls team are returning runners 2-8 next year. The one we're losing is one of the best in the state, won 16 of the last 18 races (and the only 2 she lost were to a girl she beat 11 times who is also a state 3A HS XC champ).

I'm always sad when XC coaching season ends, I enjoy being around the runners.

strength class at lunch. in the evening, had the last XC practice of season.

stretching class at gym

we'll call it a mile running around at XC meet

weight class only

circuit class at gym. pretty sore after this one

13 people on a cool, very windy day. other team got the sub. my team did well, we did an effective zone def and i was usually the point on the cup, meaning i did the most running. we won 5-1. then 4v4, won 3-2. 

running a 6k tomorrow, first race in a long time. as sore as i was today after, it may be slow.

First race in 4 years, ran cause GE allowed employees to run for free. First ever public race on the GE trails (which I've run many times and my family comes and walks them with me). This was my first race in 4 years. I have barely run for years, was very sore from frisbee yesterday, and figured I shouldn't run. But I did- my 10 year was afraid of being trampled at the start so I started with her, then she took off but my 14 yo caught me and we ran together for a few miles. Splits were 8:30 (oops- too fast), 9:30, 10-ish. It was long, about 3.85 miles. Finished mid pack. My 10 year old was top under 12 girl and 9th overall female. Fun time, achilles will feel it tomorrow

no run but kids were off school and wife was at work, so i took the day off and went hiking with 4 kids and 2 dogs at dupont state forest. i love that place, haven't been in years and years- used to be my favorite place to go running. We did about 5.5 or 6 miles hiking.

Not a great day at frisbee- other team had the best player (fast and tall, we had no one to cover him) and most speed overall. We lost 5-2 and 2-3.

frisbee, teams were not even with the other team having huge advantages. I figured we'd lose 5-1 or 5-2, but in the end we lost 5-3 so better. Then won 3-2.

Monday frisbee. 5v6, except one of my team was a 10 year old who never played before. We were way outclassed with the 2 slowest people and the kid, then our fastest guy went down early so we had 5v5 including the kid. Miraculously, we won 5-2. Then got our butt kicked 0-3.

only had a few minutes, did some elliptical than weights

did a turkey trot fun run at local high school. entry fee is 5 cans of food. I was tasked with running with my 7 month old puppy, who was annoying. did 3 miles.

frisbee. lost 5-4. 4 people per team. my team had the 10 year old boy and a guy who struggles to throw. Feel we did pretty good considering that.
