So I'm officially back to being able to run again so I could finally play Ultimate Frisbee with the group this past Tuesday. I ended up playing one of the three 25 minute games and it was so much fun. I still can't really pivot/cut/jump/stop running quickly, but I didn't do too bad. I think my team lost the game I played in but we had a lot of fun. The field was a little muddy due to a storm we got earlier in the day (which is another story) but we really didn't get too muddy. There is a huge drought here though so the 1/2" of water we got was basically all the rain they've gotten in the past year. I'm so sore from Ultimate though. Going back into something like Ultimate full swing after not really be able to do much as far as exercise for a few months sure makes your muscles hurt. I've also started running after work. The park where we play Ultimate has a little trail that is a little less than a mile. This week I've been running one lap and it hasn't been too bad. I'll probably start adding more laps throughout the summer so I can get back into shape before heading back up to PSU in August.
On our way down to Texas, my mom and I keep seeing signs for "kolaches" at doughnut places. We weren't sure what they were but we never stopped to explore. Last week, my tech supervisor was trying to explain them to me and I wasn't really grasping the concept. Well today I had my first kolache. I guess the best way to explain them is kind of like a cross between a pig in a blanket and a hot pocket/stromboli. A kolache is a sausage wrapped in a doughnut/bread dough (it's sweet like a doughnut but has the consistency of bread). It is a breakfast food that is popular in Texas. They can also contain things like cheese, jalapenos, and ham among other things. The one I had contained cheese, jalapenos, and sausage but I took the jalapenos out because it was too spicy for 7:30am. It was actually pretty good and I would definitely have one again. Here is a link to a website about them. http://www.alwayshungryny.com/thought-for-food/entry/alwayslearning-kolaches/
