Ultimate Frisbee 

Picture Challenge Day 2

     Today's picture is of a few people jumping for a frisbee while some adults and children play in the foreground.
     This was a tough picture because it was taken at twilight after playing ultimate frisbee for two hours.  I could have made it easier on myself by taking the picture earlier in the day, but then I would have missed out on some of the game we were playing.
     THis gets right at the heart of Ultimate for me.  Frisbee is always my priority on Wednesdays n the summer.  I will change my schedule, put off friends and family and pray for good weather in order to play.
     Ultimate is not only an amazing workout, (usually at least seven miles of running and walking after a few games,)  but it is also really fun!  For me, it is an exercise in humility, as well.  Im not the best player, (far from the worst,)  but I see improvement from week to week.  I can throw a flick  during a game and I am improving a lit on defense too.
     I usually feel really good when I'm finished playing.  I have even started talking with some of the other players during the game.  THis is nice because I really do not have a lot of friends in the area anymore.
      I hope to keep improving.  If I owned a dog it would really help because I could practice my throws for hours while he or she retrieved each one.  That is what I call a win/win situation.  Maybe my son or daughter will want to play frisbee with me when they are old enough.
