| Running 9:11 [4]1.4 mi (6:34 / mi) | |
| Pretty lazy weekend, where I logged 24 hours of sleep (running a little low on sleep these days with working overtime + sports + Gina). Yesterday was a perfect day, and I just did chores around the house. Today, I just napped all day and watched sports.
Scott and Nick have been amped up for the relay, and Nick (for the first time ever) is actually doing some training by running sprints and playing catching features. I decided to go for a run around Green Lake tonight in the rain, and I was making great time, before I sprained my ankle pretty bad on the side of the pavement. I got about half way 'round the lake. | ||

| Volleyball 1:45:00 [2] | |
| BENVA Winter League, Week #4
2 wins, 4 losses. Our 4 losses came against the two best teams in the league, and we definitely held our own, finishing with 20+ points in all 4 of those games. I was playing really steady, which was nice. Probably one of my best all-around volleyball days. After the first two rounds, Carlos had to leave, so Blake joined the team. We had to adjust a little bit, but we won our last two games easily (thanks to Matt's super serves that bailed us out of a big deficit). For these last two games, we had a lineup of 6'5", 6'5", 6'4", 5'9", and 5'8"! | ||

| The relay team is set: me, Nick, and Scott. (Choosing Scott turned out to be such an easy decision, after all).
Now the dilemma is to set the order of the team for the relay. Scott is the least experienced, but the fastest. Nick is the slowest (not by too much), and I have the most experience, by far. With the mass start, I think we're wise to have Scott go first. He's fast enough to pretty much keep up with everyone (except for maybe Nikolay and Eric, who likely won't be running). Even though he's mostly acing advanced intermediate courses now, it'll be good to have him run with the herd for a while. If he can gain some sort of lead (which is possible, since I was the lead runner during last year's first leg), that's great. I think it makes sense to have your most-experienced guy to go last. He'll be the one who'll have to run the most without a herd (if at all). And he'll be the one who'll have the least potentional for mistakes. I think it makes a lot of sense to have me be the anchor. However, since we're all running the same loop, Scott will have about 15 minutes to explain the course to me while Nick is out there. Of the three of us, I'm the one who needs this information the least (especially since I've run on this map before). So... maybe I should go second, since I need the least amount of input. This will give Nick more information. Patrick (no info) + Nick (info) > Patrick (info) + Nick (no info) But that seems to go against how track & field relays work. I'll have to think about this more. | ||

| I think my blog just died. I guess my 3 years of free web hosting ran out. I wonder if I can renew and it'll just magically come back? | ||
| Basketball 30:00 [4] | |
| BEEBA Spring League, Week #4
Win 51-40 This was definitely our best game of the year. Everyone scored, everyone contributed, and our defense was outstanding. We also hit buzzer-beating 3-pointers on fast breaks to end the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Blake is a beast. He's 6'5" but has a 6'8" presence out there. I had a great game, shooting 3 of 5, making both of my free throws, finishing with 9 points. I also had several rebounds, too. After last season's 1-9 finish, 3 of my old teammates jumped ship to this "better" team. It felt really good to wallup these guys. We have a winning streak now! | ||
