What do you do with rocks?

     We all know the old saying:  When you are given lemons make lemonade.  Well what do you do when you are given rocks?  I mean my first reaction is to throw the rock back, haha.  But that probably wouldn't solve anything but start a fight.  So my conclusion is that you put the rocks in your pocket and get used to haveing a pain in your butt.
     I say that because I have been given some rocks.  You see I am a runner at CU, and in my training, I am trying to get about 60 miles a week or so.  So you could say that I cover some distance when training.  Well aparently all athletics have now been banned from running on the roads, we can only run on campus, sidewalks, and parks ( which we can't get to unless we drive to, which sounds kind of stupid since we are trying to run).  The whole team is actually pretty upset about it.  Apparently, though after talking to the Athletic Director, the mayor and police department of the city have been sending complaints, and the AD's hands are kind tied.  It looks as if we will not be regaining our privledge of running on the roads, at least not any time soon.  As a runner this is a very hard thing to deal with.  But as a team we are trying to stay positive, oh and also our number one runner just quit so that he can run next years season ( at a different school obviously) instead of this one where trainning may prove to be difficult.
    On a positive note I like my Monday, Wed., Fri, classes.  On a negative note, I don't like my Tues, Thurs classes, haha.  But life goes on, life goes on.
