Was a touch sick over the weekend (cough, runny nose, aches, partly lost voice), combined with donating blood and staying home with sick kids, so no workout Saturday or Monday. Went to the gym today and expected to feel terrible, which I did, but ran 5 miles and did weight lifting. I would have run outside except it was raining again- my kids' soccer practice is cancelled for tonight, which means 6 of the first 7 practices have been cancelled. It's pretty rough for the new teams that way.

Only slept 3 hours last night with lots of waiting to sleep again (it didn't happen). Frisbee had 6v6- overcast, windy. A bit of a mismatch with Barry (very tall but older and not as fast) guarding me so I scored a fair amount. We probably should have swapped a few players. My team won 5-2.

AM 8 run. Felt a lot better than Tuesday, but didn't want to push it. Relaxed 8:30-ish pace. Then weight lifting.

Well, today was a butt whupping for frisbee. Very windy, chilly. 6v6. My team just didn't have anyone that could reliably throw it into the wind, at least far. The first point was very long but we scored when I threw a risky pass to Haley. Then the other team scored on a crazy point (low pass was kicked by Clay and stayed up long enough for Kevin to grab it). Then they scored 4 more straight, so we lost 1-5. Lots of turnovers by both teams due to the wind, but my team had a number of drops that should have been caught, plus we couldn't move it out of our endzone into the wind. I guarded Kevin and actually did good there, with a number of knockdowns. But we got beat. Still had fun.
