I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos!   And I have the absolute best wife in the world.  And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Lunch- ultimate frisbee on hot day. 5 vs 6, so not too many people. Hot.

Lunch- I was super slow at the start with tired legs and a sore left calf, but better by the end. Hot, of course (heat index near 100). 75 minutes.

Lunch- 8 of us today, the biggest group I've seen in a while. 56 minutes together, then the others stopped and I ran 3 lonely, hot miles by myself. Ugh. 80 minutes, 10 miles.

Lunch- 4 followed by an hour of ultimate. Hot. Fun. Not as sloppy of play as a few weeks ago.

Did Breakout as group in the evening. We almost got out. I had a long week so immediately got in bed at 9:30 pm. Then I couldn't fall asleep until after 1 am. Of course I couldn't sleep. My no sleep streak continues. Even though I'm extremely tired everyday and feel on the verge of breaking down, I can't think of the last time I slept more than 5 hrs. Blah.

AM- very tired. Slogged through 4 miles at 9:15 avg pace. I've done a 100 mile race at faster average pace then that, y'all. But I needed it. The last mile was as slow as the first, so no improvement. Left shin is sore, not sure if it's shin splints or just sore.
