My "Lovely" first day...

Wow. Today was quite the adventure...

Yesterday my landlord let me move into my apartment early since I have cross country practice out here in Orem. So I am in my apartment! But not my bedroom... (There are still some girls moving out...) So here I am! I've got alot of packing and moving in to do, but I'm here.

UVU XC Camp? Yes.

Alright. Today. Today= the hardest running I have ever done in my entire life.

We met as a team at the athletic building, then rode down into Provo Canyon. Today we conquered Squaw Peak. Although I am not sure I conquered that beast, it conquered me haha. It's 4.5 miles uphill, and when I say uhill, I mean UPHILL. I started off good. Then I hit mile 1 1/2...and from there everything sucked. With some help I finally finished. I definitely have much much MUCH room to improve. We'll put it that way haha....
Next we rode down Squaw Peak in our team vans, and then ran another three and a half miles to this river right outside Provo Canyon. This was actually cool because the coaches had us ice bath in it! It was quite nice. Then we had a team BBQ at Coach Houle's house.
Our afternoon run was the best. 30 minutes easy EASY pace? Don't mind if I do.

Have I ever mentioned I am a clutz? Well I am. And to make my point even more valid I will give an example. Today I fell in front of all the girls, rolled, and broke my watch. Good way to start off the season? I think so.

So as student athletes we are a little bit spoiled. Our athletic building is going to become my home away from home. The locker rooms are super nice, with nice showers, and laundry service. We have our own T.V. center/lounge, and computer lab. It's pretty awesome.

Soooo, runner problems. My right knee is bad and has been since the beginning of track season this year. I have what's called 'runner's knee' (Rather fitting right??) Basically my IT band is screwed up. So all this time I have had no help with it, until today! I asked for some ice from the trainer and ended up getting a massage and a stem (stim?..not sure exactly). The trainer put these little patches on my leg that sent electrical vibes into my leg, it felt super weird. My knee feels better already, and I get to keep getting these treatments for the next little while. So yes...all in all today was an adventure.

What do I do after a hard days work? What I do every day after running or work...spongebob it is.
