You don't need to run every day to be a runner

Backpacked 18 miles in the uintas today for highb as dventure. Originally. We were staying up there till Wednesday, but when we got to camp everyone was absolutely freezing. It was pouring rain thw whole way up, and even getting into dry clothes didnt help. I was going to sleep in my hammock which wiuld have totally stunk cuz it ciuld have snowed there and it was super windy. So we decided to head back down. I felt like sawing my knees off on the way down. My knees could handle the way up, but going down tjey killed. We got back to the cars at midnight and got home at 2 in the morning

My knees dont really hurt today, which is a miracle. However, they are incredibly dtiff. Im going to spend most of the day just doing my stretches, icing and rolling out my megs. I think i ciuld be back at running the 2nd week school starts. Awesome core workout, i did t thy e 10,20,30,40,50x5, whuc bug was the first workout we did with Courtney. I cant come to xc camp for the whole time sadly, but i am going up ob thursday just to hang with the team which will be fun.

Later looked at all the new 5a teams and stuff. Alta is 4a now, which i didnt expect

Ive decided i dont like being injured. Im getting antsy to run again. Im icing my knees as i type this. Sick core workout. I need to do some kind of cardio. I miss breathing hard, which sounds really weird

yesterday I went up the canyon and spent the night with the team for the last night of XC camp. I'm really glad I went, because I kind of have been in denial of running for a bit, and now i'm super pumped for when I can start running again. When we talked about the team goals, that just got me really excited for this season. Now i'm going to stay off my knee as much as possible, and do every little thing to get it better as soon as I can. I haven't had a consistent racing season since cross country my sophomore year. Hopefully I can race all the regular season races this year.
