The Midwest doesn't like to listen to its Weather Forecasts.

The other day there was an "80% chance of rain" and not a single drop, a few days later only a 30% chance and it poured randomly throughout the day. This past weekend was overcast and around 60 degrees and Monday was around 90. Yesterday the wind was really strong and we ran against it for the first half of our run, which of course killed your legs, and then when you turned around and the wind was to your back it was still challenging because it felt about 10 degrees hotter. My legs are definitely a bit fatigued but its been raining on and off today and is overcast so my run should be better! I spent most of my day typing up homework in the computer lab in the Hewit (athletic area) and then headed over to the Landing for my daily trail mix :) Almost every other day there is some sort of tour going on throughout the facilities, it is really neat to see all of the people here so interested in Husker athletics, the other day there were some people from an old folks' home, and today there were a lot of international people as well as a younger football team. Basically, you feel like a celebrity sometimes when everyone turns and looks as you walk away with your cup of gatorade. I'm not sure if I've described this before in previous blogs but it still amazes me all of the "school-spirit" (although its Statewide..) that Nebraska has. It's definitely an amazing feeling to be part of such a big school with so many people who are loyal fans. There is so much history in Nebraska's athletic department, from all of the chants and cheers everyone knows at the games to the Lucky Horseshoe hanging by the locker room (which I am unsure of the story behind... and the football team takes all that luck from all the other sports when they travel ;)

It really is an honor and a  privilege to be a Husker.

P.S: my foot has been feeling a lot better, I don't wear the orthotic-pad I was given anymore and am pain free :) Thank you STEM and Ice
