Off to College and Practices

Meredith heads off to CMU today.  She is going a couple of days earlier than the fall athletes because of her major, Athletic Training.  The fall athletes report on Friday.  She is in fairly good shape because of her summer job and with her fairly frequent summer workouts.  She had better be in shape because starting the 16th she will have 4 a day practices. (One conditioning, two training, and one GK sessions.)  She appears to be a little more nervous than Madeline when she left, but I think that it is because that Madeline spent 3 weeks on campus this summer taking a class and eliminated the "fear of the unknown".

Madeline has been having 3 a day practices since the 6th, but they have had to work them in around the heat and a lot of thunderstorms.  From her communications it appears that the team is a lot of fun and although it has been pretty tough she has enjoyed it.
