cross country

This week was my first real week of cross country camp. Monday-Wednesday we had 7am pool practices which pretty much consists of running in water, loads of fun. In the afternoon we had running practices and core training, which is pretty much pushups, situps, and these things called human arrows and dead bugs. Again, loads of fun. Thursday we had a 4k time trial (that's 2 1/2 miles for those of you who don't know) and in the afternoon we had relays in the pool, which sounds like a break but truthfully was a really hard workout because we were all stupid and competitive, and besides it was a hard workout. Then after that we had to do our stupid dumbbell matrix for lifting, which wasn't horrible, until today when we had to do it again. Yesterday we ran in the morning, and then again in the afternoon. Then today we ran a long run and like I said, did the lifting routine, which really hurt. As you can imagine, I have been extremely sore all week. On the bright side, my team is really fun, and one of my good friends here at school is running too. It should be a good season, even though Monday we have to get up at 6:30 to do mile repeats. Yuck. I've also been on my own the whole week-none of my roommates are here, and it gets boring after about 3 minutes. Thankfully, Megan comes back tomorrow, and Jes and Rachel will be here on Monday. Then I get to live with 3 other people in what seems like a big area when it's just me, but with four girls it will be tight. I certainly hope we can all live together without anybody dying!
