AM- I felt really slow but actually started at 8:35 pace, which wasn't bad. Finished around 8:05. 6 miles, 50:13. Nothing notable to report.

PM- ran a bit during XC practice. Their first meet is tomorrow. To my dismay, the teams won't race against each other. Instead, each team will have their own start time, staggered from the other teams.

AM- 5 miles then weights

PM- ran some at the cross country meet. I thought it went well, there were lots of kids that ran hard and improved on their time trial times. Fun to watch them.

Late afternoon frisbee- hot hot, mid-90's with feels like of 102. 10 people plus one kid. My team was kicking butt at the start (I think we scored the first 4 or 5 points). Sure enough, we lost 5-3 in the real game. I had a couple bad throws.

Lunch- very hot for frisbee. 6v6 with 1 sub. My team won 5-0, the very rare shutout. I don't think I made a single mistake- no drops. I may have had a bad throw or two but don't remember any.
