Personal:

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- bring your kids to work day, and all 5 of mine came for the first time ever. Lots of fun and tours in the morning. We had about 12 kids at lunch for frisbee, and 4 of them played, plus 14 adults. My 8 year old, Zach, stopped halfway, but Quincy, my 7 year old, played the whole time. My wife played, too. Perfect weather, high 50's and sunny. Lots of back and forth, my team was down 3-4 but won 5-4.

AM- More rain today but it held off this morning. Ground was wet and it was misty/foggy, but no rain. Did lots of back and forth with 11 total miles on GE trail. Right quad a bit finnicky but otherwise good. 8:10-7:50 pace. Ran near 5 deer (within 1 yard of one of them before he ran away), and 2 groups of 3 turkeys each (also within a few yards of some of the turkeys). First run over 10 miles in at least 2 years. I think you can count my runs of 10+ miles over the past 5 years on your fingers.

AM- After only sleeping about 5 hours the past few nights, I topped it off last night with 3 hours of sleep. I'm exhausted, plus still sore from my Tuesday run. Just did 30 min easy elliptical and stretching. Too sore/tired to even weight lift.

Lunch- 9 people showed up today. About 40 deg and windy. The wind reeked havoc on all of us, but especially me. I had so many terrible passes, and all I could do is laugh. Also had a drop or two. We did 4v5, I was on the bigger team. Even with the extra person, we played terrible till the game started, then we started playing a bit better. We won 5-3. Amidst all my bad passes, I did have a great contested catch near the goalline, then threw across the field for the winning point.
