Fall Break

I just got home for fall break earlier this afternoon. Unfortunately, this gave me enough time to watch the Brewers lose 3-1 to the Phillies. After watching the game I headed over to my old high school to pick my brother up from his high school workouts.

Since Furman switched over to the semester calendar instead of the trimester calendar this year, our team is able to go home for Fall Break. Last year Furman's Fall Break occurred after the official start of the preseason so we had two-a-days while everyone else was home. I don't really have any plans for the break. I'll probably just watch some baseball and hang out with my family considering this is the last time I'll be home before Christmas.

Its going to be nice to have some real free time. I've realized that as an athlete, you don't exactly have much free time at all during the offseason and especially during the season. You might have big chunks of time where you don't have any responsibilities but I would call that down time. There is a big difference between free time and down time. Usually I have 1-2 hours between class and weights or class and practice. I can't do whatever I want in this time because I don't want to use a whole lot of energy so I'm fresh for practice, so its down time.
