Day 2: Mountain Run

Today was our first mountain run. Coach V took us out to a place called Fort Garland where the view is stunning from the peak..only problem is...you have to run to it. 7 miles of winding dirt roads with hills that will make you want to cry to your mother. but the reward, let me tell you is priceless. Once I reached the top, the air was silent, the mountains were majestic, and nothing else in the world seemed to matter. How incredible that our God created all of this with his hands? woah. I was speechless...and a little breathless from the run :). Also, casually saw a coyote running across the trail! After descending the mountain and getting back to campus, I did a little bit of muscle building in the weight room with my new roommate Sarah! Now, I am taking some downtime with a little lunch and nap before yet another adventure tonight....CAMPING AT THE GREAT SAND DUNES. If you don't know what they are or have never seen them...stop reading now and google it. Mindblowing. Cant wait to update you guys on how that goes!
