Alli's running blog

Umm.. So this is my first blog post and I don't actually know what to say and stuff so I will try my best... Today we ran just past the fire station from Washington Elementary. I haven't ran in a long long time so it wasn't amazing. I felt like I was going really slow. It was good for my first day back though. After practice Coach Roberts took me to the high school in his hippie truck and that was quite possibly the coolest ride of my life! That's all...

Today's run was a lot better than yesterday's. I think I'm starting to get back into the groove of running everyday. It still wasn't super easy but better.

Kids camp was... Something. It was fun at first. We started playing games and such. Then a girl came up and asked to use the bathroom. So I had to take her to the rec center. Not 2 minutes after we got back her twin and another girl had to go. Greattt. I just told them to hold it cause there was only like 5 minutes left. So yeah...

Today I felt a LOT better. It didnt hurt near as bad as the last 2 days. The hills weren't very fun but I ran at a faster pace and I was able to keep a pace. It was a good run..

I only went two today because I took two days off due to youth conference. It felt pretty alright but I was very tired. Alright day..

Today was good run. It felt really good! Tomorrow I will hopefully attempt 3 miles, try to keep up with the older girls.

Finally went 3! woo hoo! At the beginning of the run I had a side ache but it wasnt too bad. I stayed up with the girls group until they turned at the park. Me and Josie ran the rest of the way alone but it felt great!

Today I woke up and went to Washington elementary to find no one there. Then I remembered it was at Bloomington and since i was already late I just went home and ran around my neighborhood. It was definitely not as fun as practice. Next time I shall remember where practice is...

.5 mile warm up. Then 1 mile warm up. Felt alright. The test thing was good. I got 1290. Definitely some improvement is needed. It felt pretty good though. 1 mile cool down. Today felt pretty good.

.5 mile warm up barefoot. We went down to the park by the softball fields to do grass runs. They felt really hard. I didn't feel good at all. I ran 6 laps (2 miles) then did 8 striders. It was very tiring. My arch killed when I finished. I rubbed and rolled it and now it feels much better. I assume that it was just because it was my first grass run this summer.

I would like to prove a point that going back through my sisters blog she did spell though wrong in one of her posts. She forgot the u and this will go down in history.

I did NOT want to go 3 today. From the very first hill (the starting point of the run) I felt like crap. It was terrible. I felt out of breath and my throat was way dry. I was only going to go 2 but Roberts talked me into running 3. The huge hill wasnt terrible but wasn't fun. I'm glad I decided to go 3. Pretty much the worst run of my life... Yeah.

Today was a killer workout. 15 minute test thing. I got 1 mule and 1440 meters. I ran with Josie the 1st mile and we were gradually gaining on people. When we caught up to kaelie she stayed with us and we ran the last 1440 meters together. We were all pushing each other and it was really great! We sped up a little when coach said 3 minutes left but I don't feel like I went as fast as I could have. I had my watch with me and when it said 15 seconds left I pushed it real hard. It was a good run. Felt good.

We had 1 mile there and 1 mile back an yeah so it was good.

Today we did the 30/30s. It was good. I ran around 30 something times. My distance didnt seem hard enough. I feel like I might of been able to go farther. I ran a warm up 1 MILE. I didn't have one to do a cool down because of kids club but I think I ran around enough times to make up for that. My calf started feeling tight after the run an kids club so I rolled and stretched it.

Kids club was fun with the race and such.
