Softball and Burgers

Last night I had my first fall league softball game. The weather was gorgeous, but our playing was not. We couldn't string any hits together, and our defense was as bad as it has been this season. Hopefully it was just rust and we come out and play better at our next game. I know it is all just for fun, but I can't help but to be really frustrated and mad when we lose. I guess with certain aspects of my life my competitiveness will never go away.

After the game I went to meet the Recreate Burger Crew for our Thursday Burger outing. It turned out to be just me and Todd at the 5th Quadrant a small brew pub in the NE. The burger was actually very tasty. This burger is a bit different than our recent selections, as this is a more classic American burger. It didn't have any fried onion strips or pimento cheese. I had a bacon cheddar burger cooked medium rare. I found the toasted buttery bun to be better than your typical sesame seed bun. The peppered bacon was good. The meat had a sweet smokey flavor, but was a bit to greasy for me. Overall I thought this to be an average pub hamburger. I think if I went back I would try the bacon chicken sandwich.

Saturday is fight gone bad workout day at the gym. I don't remember what my score was last time we did this workout, but I do recall Nathan setting a goal for me. I guess I should figure that out before the workout so I know what I am shooting for. After the workout I am taking part in a cupcake eating race and a BBQ. The race consists of running a lap around the building, then eating 10 cupcakes between you and your partner, then running another lap. I don't remember the last time I ate 5 cupcakes in one sitting, and I know I have never ate cupcakes like that and then ran. It should be fun.
