The first thing I wanted to throw out there is that Baseball (I still capitalize religions) is not so much a part of me as it once was. It really took a backseat to what I thought (and think) is more important in life: school, jobs, and most important, girlfriend.
I haven't been as loyal to working out and hitting as I used to, but I have put in the time. Most of all, my optimistic side thinks that because I do care less about the outcome, I may be more likely to just relax, play my best and just see what happens. With practice finally starting tomorrow morning, it'll be really nice to get ready for the season, which begins on March 2nd. Full schedule can be seen here.
In terms of myself, I've lost a lot of weight since last season. I haven't weighed myself in a while, but I'm probably in the low 180s and looking nice and trim. I definitely lost muscle too, but I am quicker and faster. I did finally hit one out of Taft in a fall scrimmage, so hopefully that is a sign of things to come.
Anyway, I never did anticipate starting to write again, but now that team practices are starting up again, some good thoughts may pop into my head and we can keep this going. Also, this may have helped me get the internship I got because I did send a link to my blog as a writing sample. Maybe another way Baseball has helped teach me life lessons. And there you have it, tomorrow's post will be about what Baseball has taught me.
