Snow day in Bremerton, but I got myself over to the Y in the mid-morning for a few miles. I ran into Josh who said his soccer team needed extra guys for an indoor game. So I ran three miles at 7:45/min pace, then played an hour of soccer. Pretty good workout.
Met Mike at Evergreen Park for what's become our usual weekend run. Better pace than lately, though my left hip flexor was a little sore to finish. I'm still struggling to get into a rhythm; playing basketball 2x-3x per week is at least helping me feel in shape. But it's not enough and I'm feeling a little frustrated with myself.
