A good start

Well, good stuff from the Blast today. After a shaky 1st quarter, they came back from a 2-1 halftime deficit to win 4-2. They played really well once they settled down, and I'm continually surprised at what a talented group of boys we've got on our team. I'd love for the coaches to be able to take all the credit, but we really can't. There are still a couple of guys who look uncomfortable on the field, and I think the challenge for us is going to be to make sure that they're having fun and not getting left behind by the really good kids. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and I felt surprisingly proud to see them play so well (and win).

I'm off for a run. I got drafted into being a sideline ref at the game today, and after running up and down the field for 48 minutes, I realized I need to get back to running more often. Plus, with my Alaska trip coming up next week, I don't want to run out of breath when I'm running away from the bears.
