PM: yoga
I met a group from GRC at the Line, starting off on the trails for the zoo loop. Peter led us through series of pretty brutal hills right off the bat, which I'd feel for the rest of the run. After about 30 minutes, however, everyone else had split off, and it was just Chris and I to finish the loop and add on a loop around the Meadowbrook stables. We never really killed the pace, but we were grinding up and over the hills the entire rest of the way. This was my longest run since Marine Corps, and while I felt happy to have it done, I definitely survived it, too.
In the evening, Valerie and I went to yoga in what was one of the tougher classes we've been to, focusing almost entirely on the hamstrings. Yikes. There's a decent chance I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but I overall like how great the class has worked my core strength and flexibility, especially in my truly unflexible hamstrings.
Also, the Falcons clinched the playoffs tonight. If you'd told me that would happen in August, I probably would have been genuinely offended by your sarcasm after last season (see also Vick, Michael and/or Petrino, Bobby for further reference).
Pretty much everyone and their grandmother picked them to finish dead last, and now they're in the playoffs. Given how much the Braves and Terps have disappointed me as of late, it's uplifting to finish the year on a sports high note.

When I turned off the Patriots game yesterday, they were beating the Cardinals like 50-0 with 13 mins to go in the 2nd half.
Yeah, I saw some of that game. It looked cold. Yet because Arizona plays in an awful division, they were already in the playoffs coming into the game whereas there's a decent chance the Pats won't make it this year.
PR, don't be disappointed by the Terps. Here's some facts:
Field Hockey: NCAA Champions, 3rd title in 4 years I think. The last decade we've owned this.
Men's Soccer: NCAA Champions, 2nd title in 4 years.
Men's XC: Individual qualifier for NCAA meet, first time in at least 15 years probably.
Football: Hey, 7-5 isn't terrible, even in a watered down conference.
Basketball: We don't have a truly bad loss yet, and should be able to win our next couple. My prediction is 19-12 going into the ACC Tournament, and two wins there help us get back to the NIT, where we win. Ha.
