So I'll start with the bad new first, and that's that I haven't done any of the frisbee workouts yet. My bad. I'm hoping to have week 1 taken care of by the start of winter term. I have been getting some exercise though. I've gone running a couple times. Once where I failed, but today was good. I ran my 'hill' route, hill being in quotes because I doubt what Oklahomans would call a hill qualifies under your definitions. Still, it was 3.5 miles with some inclines. Not bad. I've also been playing some basketball, getting myself ready to dominate in IM this winter.
The big news is that I spent 4 days recently skiing in Utah with my dad. It was fun, and helped a lot with ultimate skills I think. You have to have quick reflexes to ski moguls, and I hit the steep and deep as often as I could and so got in some good leg work. This also brings up a point I'd like to make about training, a little tongue in cheek though. And that is to always keep ultimate on your mind whatever you're doing athleticly. For example, while skiing from top to bottom at Alta my legs began to burn, but I kept telling myself that it was universe point, and you don't get to rest on universe point. So I held myself together and finished the run. This may or may not be actually healthy, and is possibly borderline obsessive, but I found it entertaining. Another example, and hence this ramble, would be that even while doing a mapping assignment during the stretch, I managed to find the time to work in some layout practice. Don't worry, a large shrub broke my fall, and the snow didn't hurt either.
