Stormy Illinois

Here I am back at sports camp already, I can never believe how fast summer seems to go. The whole team will get here tonight, right now we are just the three seniors, one sophomore, and the five freshmen. Practice starts bright and early tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. with testing which should be a nice awakening back to playing college ball.

A huge storm just went over us as Ally and I were walking back from the dining room. The thunder was so loud and the lightening looked so close we ran as fast as we could but with flip flops, that isn't very fast so we still got soaked.

I'm realizing now how nice we had it last sports camp when it was so cool. I don't think we'll receive the same hospitality this year with temperatures already up in the 90's and higher. The gym luckily has no air-conditioning so we can fully appreciate the insulating capacities of the gym which turn out to hold in heat extremely well while keeping out any cool air.

Tonight we are going into St. Louis for dinner in the loop and then taking the team to pick up our last arrival, Tara. The schedule for the next three weeks is going to be pretty rigorous with three practices a day almost everyday and then tournaments in Chicago and Indiana two weekends in a row. Lots of traveling, we won't be bored that is for sure.
