Elliptical. All treadmills were used so couldn't do running (stuck at gym with 3 kids). Weights.

AM 1 hr elliptical

PM- Record high 100 deg F with heat index near 110F, so 10 of us were stupid enough to play frisbee. We definitely didn't run quite as much, though. We were tied 2-2 when the next point took forever (10 minutes?). When it was 3-3, we decided to shorten the game due to length and then my team won 4-3.

Only had time for 3 xt, 3 run, weights.

Wife and daughters came home early from church youth camp after they cancelled it 12 hours before it was scheduled to end. Blamed high temps, but it's only 70 deg tonight (admittedly, it was record highs earlier in the week). I think this teaches a bad lesson of quitting when things are uncomfortable, rather than perservering. Again, the temps were low tonight and they were due to come home first thing tomorrow morning anyway.

Another hot day for frisbee- humid and temps in the 90's had a heat index over 100, plus blustery, swirling winds. We had 9 people so Haley was switching sides. My team scored first with Haley, then she went to the other team. We forced turnovers and scored 3 more times while down a player, which is very hard to do. Once it was 4-0, they scored once, before we won 5-1. No one wanted a second game in this heat.
