Alli's running blog

Did Dino cliffs today and then added on at the end as its only 4 miles. I felt really good and wasn't too tired after. I like being able to feel the progress. Also I didn't have work this morning because there was a tournament. Hallelujah 

Drove down to Washington elem. and ran out to prospector trail then turned around. Uneventful run. When I was driving back to my house I got pulled over for like 3 offenses but I only got a warning. Honestly probably the scaredest I've ever been. And I was just telling sage last night how I had never got pulled over. I jinxed it...

Took my dog to prospector to run because she really wanted to run. She ran the whole time which was a very good accomplishment for her because she is very old. Also she's a wimp lol, when we got to the tunnel she got only a little bit into it then started walking about 1/4 mph and she kept getting slower so I took her out and we ran up the big hill where we practice downhills, and on our way down she slowed way down again. But I kept telling her encouraging phrases because she was doing very good. Also we rocked out to Carrie underwood on the way back.

45 min into Washington. My breathing was weird and my achillies/shins(?) is acting up but I've never been happier to run with my favorite people ever (plus Caroline of course)

we had the best workout ever today! Tempo on the track it was 15 minutes progression. I didn't want to lead until the last laps so I didn't and it made me push really good on the last one and it was beautiful. Weights after and I only went to 2/5 classes today so that was also beautiful. Oh and happy birthday to my mom she's also beautiful.

Such a quality run down the infamous river trail. Roberts came and ran with us and I felt very very good. 50 minutes at like 8:20 pace is pretty dang good for us I'd say

All on my own I went out on telegraph and just ran up it for a while then went back. It was uneventful and great

We drove out to hurricane and ran a trail out there. It had lots of hills. I turned around to get 69 instead of 70 because my achillies has been bothering me lately. Right at the mile marker to say we had 1 mile left I ate it so hard. My hip down to halfway of my upper leg is all scratched and my knee is quite swollen. Live and learn lol

30 to green springs. Felt like trash even though that's my home neighborhood. The end

I stayed home from school today because I was quite sick but by the time practice rolled around I was feeling better and my Tuesday performance was so crappy I felt I needed to redeem myself. We had a 15 min tempo around the track increasing pace by 10 seconds every 5 minutes. It was good. I struggled the last couple minutes staying with the pack but I did and I'm so happy I did. Then we hardcore lifted some weights. My bench max is actually going down idk how that happens but bad news it's back to 65 instead of 70 lol

40 min to neon spider plus striders. Like 10 minutes into our run I got a bloody nose and it didn't stop bleeding for 10 minutes, ew ahah. Everyone waited for me cause they're gems but it was kinda sucky. Through the tunnel was soo quality but alli june kept saying we were gonna die and I could've swore I was gonna find a hobo cause I went first. Sick run but pretty eventful

Oh man. So I had work this morning and me and my coworker skipped one of the things (that they actually don't care if we do it or not they just can't know about it) and my other coworker ratted us out so we had to go do it. It was total garbage. Then I drove to sullivan park and made up a loop with some added on around the park and stuff. It was a pretty good run. At one point I started to come up behind this boy & girl and they definitely didn't know I was there and they were totally doing something I didn't wanna see so I had to turn around before the actual time hahahaha it was so weird oh man

Today we had 30/30s. Which is 30 seconds at our pace we tested into, then 30 seconds recovery, that's 1 set and we did 30 sets. Honestly it's a brutal workout. The actual running isn't bad but it's a total mental game and I struggle with that to the max. Me, Addi and meskerem ran together and we pushed each other and it was way good. I was really feeling it at like 17-20 but I got my head back together and finished really good. After we had weights and I regret to inform everyone that brianna helped me realize I lied last week, I've never been able to bench 70. My max used to be 65 and now it's 60 lol. I'm working on it. But me & caroline planned a fun activity for tonight at 10pm if anyone wants details let me know(;

AM- first morning run of the year. Freezing I felt my hands go numb I swear

PM- mustang pass so I only drive Dallen over and he left with Mitch cause that's right in my hood. Quality run but my legs were absolutely dead. Tough stuff.

AM- it's cold

PM- yoga then 30 minutes to Washington. When we stopped at the light by harts, like 6 min into the run, I got a bloody nose again. So I ran in and cleaned up with Brianna, Ellie, and Caroline. When we came out all the other girls had left us... Haha so we had to run by ourselves. Then on the way back I got another freaking one. So we ran into mcdonalds and cleaned that up. The rest of the run was fine other than an old man stopped us to assure us he wasn't staring at us. Hahaha people are weird.

No morning run. It was way nice. We had our junior prom assembly today and bayless was king, oh man I'm so happy. Then after school we had a tempo. I went into it basically telling myself I was gonna quit. I didn't lead til the end again because I didn't do that last week and I had a horrible run so I just stayed in the back and tried to chill. But I didn't quit at all, I stayed with it for 20 minutes and that was pretty good because I knew i could do it physically but I didn't want to mentally and I won the mental battle. Very good progress and it was beautiful team work today as well.

Long run!!!! And Roberts came!!!! And we did my favorite loop ever!!!! We had 60 min with 1,2,3,2,1 min pickups with equal recovery and striders after. Such a solid run. We ended with a smaller group than normal but it was still way way good. And striders felt amazing. My legs were completely beat (as were like everyone else's, this week was hard apparently) but it felt very good. 

I woke up at like 8 to get my run in before prom. It was way easy and chill after a way tough week. I just did my loop I usually do but I had to add on cause I ran it faster than regular. Then Preston picked me up for prom and we played a ton of way fun games and me and presto won overall. Cause we're the best. Then we got ready and did pictures dinner and went to the dance and played games at dallens house and it was such a quality night. And a long awaited something at the end of the night..(;
