We stopped to watch. It was 45 minutes before the tournament began.
Ultimate Frisbee regional tournament in Allentown, PA, July 17, 2016, a Sunday.
Ultimate Frisbee regional tournament. Teams from four states.
A walk in the park Sunday morning was leisurely and enjoyable. We had no pressing issues to handle. We had time on our hands.
The challenge is what to do on the 99.9% of our days when that is not the case.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Yesterday was the first day of High School second semester, which included our son’s first real, personal fitness class. He has historically been non-athletic. The teacher had everyone do two laps (half mile). i had no idea this was coming.
Coincidently, the day before, our father/son run included eight mailboxes, or 800 meters. We started running eight weeks ago.
i remember telling him after we finished the half-mile jog that we ran the equivalent of two laps around a track. Have to believe that he had a confidence with him that would have not existed had we not started running 100 meters a day for a week, and then adding 100 meters more each week.
The slow and steady, almost ridiculously easy distance, and the gradual increase added up, and will continue to add up.
A metaphor for our own lives, no?
