50 Minutes of Soccer in a 2-2 tie
This afternoon my BSSL Men's Team, Sparktak FC faced another team is division One, Sports Identity. With my Father-inlaw in attendance, I started at my customary right defender position. After going ahead 1-0, our stopper had an "own goal" on a header he erroneously redirected into the back of our own net. I played about 35 minutes of the first half. With the tie knotted up at 1-1 at halftime, we came out for the second half determined to gain a full 3 points. We went ahead early in the second half when Caley caught the opposing goalie out of position on a difficult angle shot. Not long after (around minute 60), I went in for a 50-50 challenge and sprained my ankle pretty badly. I ended up coming out and went in once more but only at about 70%. I ended up playing about 50 minutes of fast paced soccer in 80 degree heat. Not a bad cardio workout.

1.65 Slow, Crappy Miles Around the Neigborhood
Been a long week so far in terms of workload and stress at work and starting grad school and being up late at night. However, I felt compelled to get outside and get in a run to keep the blood flowing. I decided to run loops around our neighborhood, with the idea being that it was convenient when I was ready to stop because I'd only be 1/2 mile at most from the house. However, this also made me extremely complacent during the run and let me ending early. After just over 2 laps, I quit the run. The total distance was 1.65 miles in 13:08 for an average mile pace of 7:56/mile.

1.90 Otis Miles in 16:30
It was cold this morning waking up in Otis to the first signs of fall approaching. the temps were in the high 40's when I stepped outside at about 7:25am this morning. I ended up running from our house, all the way down to the end of Harrington Woods (our subdivision), before turning around and heading back.
According to google pedometer the trek was about 1.90 miles. The run was hilly, and I was running at a leisurely pace, so I'm guessing I ran it in about 16:30.
