With just two weeks until the new season of [article id="1646836"]"Dancing With the Stars"[/article] premieres, could [article id="1646991"]Audrina Patridge[/article] be ready to head for the hills already?

No, but mastering the dance steps and learning an entire routine for the show sure is challenging, the "Hills" alum told Us Weekly. "My legs are so sore!"

The 11th season premieres September 20, and Patridge, 25, is [article id="1646991"]paired up with pro Tony Dovolani[/article]. Other celebs she'll be competing against this season include Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Bristol Palin, Brandy, David Hasselhoff, Florence Henderson, Jennifer Grey, Michael Bolton, Margaret Cho, Rick Fox and Kurt Warner.

Patridge also told the magazine that she still has difficulty "going through the entire routine without stopping, because you run out of breath. It's like, 'I don't know if I can stand this for 15 more hours!' I'm really hard on myself. I'd rather just keep going and going and going instead of taking a break."

The work may be challenging, but there's a reward, she's discovering. "My calves and my legs are really getting tighter," she said.

As for how she's really holding up? Dovolani said she's a force to be reckoned with. "Right now she's her own competition -- she pushes herself to the end," Dovolani told the magazine.

When [article id="1646991"]MTV News caught up with Patridge[/article] last month, she raved about Dovolani. "He is amazing," she said. "He's such a great teacher. He's very professional, and we have a lot of fun together. It's really fun. I look forward to going to rehearsal every day."
