Alex was siked, prepared and ready for day 1 practice. He did all the drills like a true veteran. He was tired and struggling at times with stomach cramps but he kept going, while some of the new guys were stopping and actually getting sick. It was a tuff, tuff practice that went on for about 3 hrs...parents were ready to leave but this preseason conditioning is very important to our success. After all we are Team 4 and don't forget it.
One big highlight of practice was Alex came in 7th when they ran their traditional long lap. He was 7th out of 25 boys...pretty good for the first day...lets see how long this last.
Another high point...Terri and KK showed up ,,sat down an actually stayed and watched practice...I think they have a deeper appreciation now of what these boys have to endure to be as good as they are. Its really hard...I personally could not do it...but don't let Alex know that...he thinks I can walk on water....no doubt especially after I taught him how to moonwalk like Michael Jackson...not many grampa's can manage that...now can the
After practice we got ice cream at UDF and Alex went home to sleep he was beat.
Day 2 will be easier I suspect...but not by much.
