Exactly what I expected, but not


This morning, Lynnea and I got ready to go shopping around our little town of Fondi, instead we were picked up by Davide and Fiorella and headed to Formia,  a little town about a half hour away. Che sara, sara. We walked up and down the streets of Formia and went into some of the little shops. Around here everything closes at 1:00pm for about an hour and a half. So after the stores closed we headed to the mall in Formia and continued to shop. I am very happy with my purchases!!!!!!!!!! 
At about 4pm we headed back to Fondi. First we drove through a little town, i don’ t know they name, but there is a navy base there, and they wanted to show us! Good to know english is only 30 min. away. On the way back Davide decided to inform us on what was going to happen at practice today. When he said suicides are universal, he really meant it. He also said we were going to interval sprint for 20. Lynnea and I were a little nervous for after he told us that, we did not know what to expect. 
It was definitely everything we thought it would be. Only 6 girls came tonight, and we started with a little fast feet and agilities, moved into a slow jog around the court until he blew the whistle then ran at 70% until he blew it again. 8 times. Then he decided to move the sprinting outside, keep in mind we are practicing at 9pm. It was dark, and the sidewalks are brick, I would say kind of dangerous. So after we ran down the sidewalk 8 times, twice. We went back to the court and did three suicides. It was very interesting. By this point it was about 10pm and we have to play volleyball for an hour! 
Luckily it was pretty technical things like passing and moving and then some 3 on 3 back row. So not to hard but my legs felt like jello. 
It is getting easier to communicate with the girls, and we could all tell by our facial expressions that we felt the same way about the practice. lol TIRED. We tried to ask how many times a week they do this, and we couldn't really get an answer....sooooooo I guess it will just be a surprise whenever it happens. 

italian word/phrase of the day: mi piace "i like"
