Day 3 - A Touch of Spring

Today was simply gorgeous, you could make an argument that it was the most beautiful day of 2011.   We kicked things off with our first ever family/extended family Soccer game at the school across the street from our home.  My nephew was the organizer of the game and did a great job of choosing the teams.  Each team consisted of a few adults and kids ranging in ages from 5-12.  Now you're probably thinking that with younger kids the game wasn't very competitive; however you would be sorely mistaken.  Everyone played extremely hard with the kids leading the way and the adults following suit.  The fun was off the charts!  We even made a couple of new friends during the game with one family joining at halftime and a couple of free agents joining the game along the way.  The game appropriately ended in a 9-9 tie with smiles all around the pitch.

Field of Dreams

After the game, we headed across the street to Robeks  for some well deserved smoothies.  After our smoothies, we parted ways with our family and friends and my wife and I grabbed some lunch at Whole Foods.

After taking a  brief break, I headed out for today's run.  Down Nebraska Ave, through a couple different neighborhoods, back across Massachusetts Ave near the American University School of Law and back up Albemarle Street.  The run was only 3.5 miles but after 2 hours of soccer in the morning I reached my max for the day.
