| I've been getting very little sleep so collapsed into bed last night at 9:30 and was asleep soon after. Unfortunately, my body decided it had slept enough at 3:41 am. Oh well, I tried.
Lunch- 6v6 on a cool, windy, sunny day. Good competitive game- I covered Graham all day with mixed success. Had a couple terrible throws but the rest were passable. No drops. My team was down 0-2, then tied 2-2, then 4-4, and we eventually won although both teams had a chance on the last point. Game ended on a bomb from Sam to Julian that seemed uncatchable but hung up just enough with the wind for Julian to run under it.

| AM 7 miles. Felt terrible right from the start and decided I'd stop at 4 if I didn't feel better. I didn't get a lot better but slogged through 7 miles.
I ran on the treadmill because it was supposed to be cold and rainy. Come to find out it actually snowed a bit during my run. Snow in South Carolina in April.

| Perfect weather for frisbee- 65 deg, sunny, not much win. 6v6 with a sub on my team. I'd say my team was a bit better. I played subpar with too many bad throws. Jason tore up his arm and had to go get bandaids from Dave's car, so my team played down 4 players vs 6 for a few minutes and almost stopped them- kind of fun to try. For the real game, we won 5-3, then switched it up and won 2-1 with 5v4 (I was on the team with more once I switched sides).

| Lunch- rain predicted tomorrow so 10 people showed up for frisbee today. Gorgeous weather- sunny, 70 deg, a little breeze but not so much to stop throws. Pretty fun game with lots of long throws. Elisha caught 3 of our points plus another long bomb just outside the endzone. I had 3 or 4 defensive plays I'm real proud of, each saving a point, including when where I was guarding the thrower who had an open receiver and I made him misfire. I had one bad throw but otherwise was accurate enough. Tom had a long, arcing bomb to me as I split two defenders in the endzone but it came in at ankle height and bounced off my fingers- that would have been an awesome catch. Next time. We played well (Tom said we only had 4 turnovers all game?) and won 5-3. Tired, but it's a good tired. Tom finally broke his losing streak, which had started March 6 on his 45th birthday.

| Felt pretty tired today (maybe donating blood contributed). I've also been feeling weakness in my right inner hip flexor and lower back. Due to steady rain, I ran on the treadmill. Started slow and didn't pick it up much, but I did extend past the planned 5 miles. Stopped at 8 miles, 8:40-8:25 pace.
I had my body fat measured today. Back when I was training a lot and running ultras, I was generally 6-8%, which is very thin. As I ended my career in 2014/15, I had inched up to 10-11%. I'm now 20 pounds heaver and measured 17%. I guess that's still less than 82% of population, but higher than I'd prefer. Donuts just taste too good, and frisbee doesn't burn as many calories as straight running.
