6v6 frisbee- 55 deg, partly cloudy, small breeze- perfect weather. I played fine, no drops and throws were fine. The team that received the kickoff scored every time, so my team won 5-4. Good game.

elliptical and weights. Woke up at 5 am to get in my workout before an early morning meeting that someone had scheduled. I got to my desk just in time for the meeting to start. At the same time, the rescheduled the meeting to another day. Sigh.

AM 6 miles on GE trail. Best I've felt on a run in a long time. Started 8:45 pace, ran lots at 7:45 pace. No turkeys (surprisingly) but about 5 deer. Then did hard session of weight lifting for 45 minutes. Today was my longest run since my injury in April.

Funny fact- when I first injured my groin in April, part of my rehab was regular weighlifting. At the time, one focus was the hip adductor machine, where I could only lift about 70 lbs. The trainer recommended to bump up the weight to the max 205 lb at the end to do a few static pushing reps. Well, I can now comfortably lift the max weight on that machine. On no other weight machine am I lifting more than half of the stack (or so), but on this one machine I am lifting the entire thing. I find that funny. I wonder if my leg scissor lock is now super strong.

Lunch- 7v7 frisbee on a cool, sunny, breezy day (most significant wind in months). My team did really well in the warm up which is bad, cause the better team at first usually loses. In game to 5, my team went up 3-1, then the other team scored 3 straight, then my team scored 2 straight to win 5-4. Good game. I had a couple bad throws (one of which was still caught for a score) but otherwise threw fine, did fine defense, and didn't drop any passes. Fun game today.
