9 people showed up for frisbee on a cold (just above freezing), breezy day. The sun was out, though, so temps really didn't feel too bad. We split teams 4-5 with the smaller team having more speed (my team). The other team started wupping us by the end of warmup as they used their extra person well, so we changed to zone as the game to 5 started and had lots of success with it. We were up 4-1 and won 5-2, which was surprising. Then we won second game 3-1. Not often the team down a person wins with that big of margin. My team was me, Dave, Tom, Kevin. Other team Sam, Jeff, Simon, Haley, Alex.

AM- as the trail is still (!!!) closed, ran on treadmill again. Temps in the 20's so I didn't mind being inside. Felt terrible at first and considered a short run but kept plugging along for 8 miles.

8 people for frisbee on a cool, overcast day. The rain stopped just before we played. My team probably had a slight advantage which was exacerbated by the other team making more errors. In the warmup, we actually did such things as only allowing 2 people to touch on offense, then the other 2 people, then requiring 20 straight passes before scoring. In game to 5, we won 5-2, then won second game 2-1.

AM Trail still closed. 10 miles. I only planned on 8 but felt good so kept going. Most of it 8:30 pace, up to 8:00 by the end. My longest run since Feb last year, I believe.

Lunch- mid 40's, sunny, a little breeze. 8v7, my team had the sub. The other team had more speed so we did an effective zone and won 5-3. I caught 2 or 3 scores and generally threw well, though missed 1 catch I should have made. 8 people stayed for game to 3. I was covering Kevin on the other team, and he had 3 ridiculous, diving catches for scores. The other team won 3-1.
