Well my vacation back to Minnesota has come to an end. 7 weeks spent visiting family and friends in Gods Country was fun. The longer I stay home the harder it is to leave.

Now as I sit here in the Brisbane lounge waiting for my flight back to Cairns I can’t help but think about the preseason conditioning that will start July 8. Anyone that has played sports will tell you this is the worst time of the year. You get pushed to your limits to get into shape. At the end it feels good to have put all the hard work I but actually doing the work eats at your brain lol.

I’ll start my preseason by playing a few games with the Cairns Marlins. I want to try to get into game shape and no matter how many suicides you do it never seems to get you into game shape. It’s hard to explain but gAmes demand so much more from an athlete than practice.

Looking forward to the 2012-2013 season. Many new faces along with the old. If we can stay healthy we will make another playoff run. See you during the season.
