Practice in the Offseason

This time of year has to be my least favorite because yes it's great to get back on the field but that feeling goes away soon.  For us, the fall means waking up at 5:30 every morning for lift and run Monday-Friday with practice in the afternoon, meanwhile taking classes in between.  After getting a pump in and breaking a sweat four hours before the rest of the campus rolls out of bed is a good feeling until waking up in class to find out you falling in your dream was actually a 30 minute nap in which your feeling of falling was actually your head descending straight for your desktop but luckily stopping an inch from breaking your nose and alerting everyone in class that you have no clue where or how you got there.
