College

Such busy times!

Hey everyone! Sorry I am here and there with blogging but I promise I am stalking you all still and trying to comment as much as time permits!

*******

Cross country camp has been going well! I did some laundry yesterday…

Practice wasn’t too bad. We ran 4 miles and the morning and did 6x600m intervals at 4PM.

I then proceeded to drive home and head to an event at my high school.

I went from this:

SWEATY/NASTY

Ice on my knee while driving (don’t know if that is legal?..)

TO THIS (picture below) … all in 20 minutes!

Cray cray.

I slept over my house for the night and left by 7:30AM to be at practice by 9AM to run 7 miles. I walked up to my dorm and what do you know I was locked out! I had to get let into my building and then try to get my card fixed before practice. The residence life staff could fix my card. Cool! So I went to practice and look who came to my campus:

Mom!!! She met me after my 9AM practice (7 miles) to go out to lunch (YAYAYAY) and stop at Walmart before my 4PM practice (lifting)

First iced latte in SO long…. ahhh I missed em!

Needless to say it has been a BUSY day. I can’t imagine how busy I will be when classes start :/ blehhh!! I have a 7PM meeting with the team and then movie night at a friends dorm! Whoop whoop!!

*******

How did/do you deal with the stress of athletics + school work?!

I’m here!

Hey there!

I am alive… just VERY busy at the moment!

Yesterday (Sunday) I moved in to my suite and it is very nice! I went to get my key and they gave me the wrong one so I had to walk across campus to get the right one and then rush to move everything in and then meet with my team. Busy times.

Jimmy and my family helped me move and it was bittersweet to say goodbye. I know i’ll see them soon enough but it doesn’t make it easy.

After dinner with the team I went to a 2 hour NCAA meeting about drugs, grades, and behaving in college. The next meeting was with our coach. He went over this week’s schedule, our weight lifting schedule, our meet schedule, and the schedule for the month of August.

After all of that info thrown at me yesterday I was (and still am) overwhelmed! I don’t really know where anything is on campus right now and one other girl has moved in my suite but hasn’t said a word to me yet-cray cray.

^ that is my bedroom! Today I have to get a concussion baseline with the team in case anyone ever gets a concussion they have a baseline of what our brain was like before we got hurt to see how severe it is. Then I have practice from 10AM-12PM (just a distance run) then lunch with the team and later on I have another practice at 4PM-6PM (hills) with an ice bath after.

Yes, I am nervous about my knee. If it hurts we have plenty of trainers on hand to help me figure this out. What ever is in God’s plan if what I want to happen so I’m just being chill about everything 🙂

It has been really fun to meet new people and I’m excited to get to know everyone! I’ll keep you all updated as much as I can.

Oh yeah… foodie picture. I’m supposed to have breakfast with the team after 8AM but I was up around 6 …. Allie can’t wait that long!

You know it! Homemade granola + rice milk from my mini fridge 🙂
