Finally got a quick workout at the gym before it closed. It's been a super busy few weeks- I generally leave to teach seminary at 6:15 am, go right to work, and have not been finishing work till 5 pm or later. Then it's XC practice from 6 till 8:30 pm. Then home, prepare for next XC practice and seminary lesson, spend a few minutes with kids. Work has been very, very busy, too, so don't have any free time.

decided to play frisbee. 5v5, my team had sub. We trailed 4-6 but had 3 point comeback for 7-6 victory. I played well, especially considering I haven't played in a while- no drops, I don't think I threw any bad passes.

Just like last time I played frisbee, my left foot hurts on top afterwards. No workout today. I did go to the location of the XC race I host to make sure the route is still good and try to modify the start/finish location, which were not ideal. However, I found there's construction of a huge building at the 1/2 mile mark so that portion of trail is completely gone. I'll need a major re-route now. This is going to take extra time I was not planning on, but at least I have 3.5 weeks till the race.
