Alli's running blog

Back at it. .5 warm up then warm ups and all that. I brought the little brother, jacob and taught him all my ways so when senior year is over he can carry on the legacy. 30 minutes easy but it was hard, I'm so out of shape. Also I turned back with Sylvia like a minute before everyone else cause I was really worried about Jacob cause he wouldn't run with anyone, just by himself and he's literally almost blind and we were running on the road and idk, big sister instincts. He was fine though and ran almost the whole way.

I was late to practice today cause I had to clean out my backseat so I could give 7 people a ride in my 5 seat car lol. And there's like tons of cops on the road to practice but we didn't see any so that's good. We did 15 min out then 15 min barefoot on the baseball field then 8 striders. I'm struggling I'm so out of shape holy. Then we had kids club which was hectic. it was mostly just me cause my group members kept leaving lol. Then Brianna came and we had a good time. i had an orange popsicle and brianna and preston had blue ones

We eliminated the warm up lap cause coach said we're going to be getting enough miles this year we dont need it everyday. We had 40 minutes easy. Our old group was down to 2 members today, me and jacey (and Roberts of course). But swag Jessica and Macey jumped in with us. I was feeling really out of shape at the beginning but then we got about a mile into it and I was starting to feel really good actually. It was a real nice run and we ended with a nice game of four square in honor of prestons birthday. So special happy birthday shoutout to preston!! 

later in the day me, Mitch, & preston went and walked like 80 MILES "looking" for the summit rock lol. We didn't find it. Then we got snow cones but I didn't get one but I ended up eating a bunch of Mitch's anyway lol

30 minutes with striders. Strider always kill me but the run was good & we talked it up as a cute little team. We're getting more people back from trips so that's good. Now I get to go to gunlock reservoir with my frenz & I've never been there so yay

45 minutes with quick finish. We had good conversation going. The quick finish was hard but it felt way good. Strong run from all the girls & im happy 

30 minutes with striders. Quality run, I felt pretty good. Then kids club after. Me, Connor & Brianna were in charge of the 3rd & 4th girls lol. They're freaking crazy. 

45 min. Easy out to grapevine I think. There's like 12 trails out there and I don't know which is which. Still getting back into running so it's tough. Plus haven't been drinking water or going to bed before midnight most nights so waking up is a struggle. It was a good run though. Said peace out to Connor for 2 years/the rest of our lives possibly. He's a good guy.

60 minutes with 4x1 minute pickups. Long run with a very small crew. We had practice  30 minutes earlier than usual so lots of people didn't show up til 7. It was a nice run. Felt like forever but I pushed myself real good. Plus I'm sooooooo sore from weights on Tuesday. s/o to Maycee Hayes for sticking with us the entire run. She's definitely gonna be giving the varsity team a run for their money this year.

Weights at 3

45 min with striders. I felt really really good today. Josie was back & we talked all about her trip most the time. We were the only level 3's there so we just ran back with the level 2's and added on. Then did 6 striders, they probably weren't the right length cause there wasn't a lot of space where we were. Oops. My body is really sore and really tight but I'm excited that I'm finally feeling like I'm back into shape!!!!

45 min. We met at green springs park by my house after my work cuz the girls team is the best. I wore my kinvaras though and that wasn't the best idea cuz my achillies started hurting again. Tomorrow will be a good day of rest for it. The run was kind of a struggle for me idk why. This was a solid week though. I'm happy with it

About 60 minutes. My achillies was really hurting me today, I'm struggling lol. I did one pick up then just stopped cause good frick it hurt. I headed back on my own. It was a lot of thinking time with a lot to think about.

75 minutes. I stayed up late last night watching the bachelorette with Brianna lol so I was way tired + for some reason my stomach has been hurting every time I run lately so neither of those things helped me on the run today. At like 32 minutes I flipped around cause I kept falling off on the pickups and the team kept turning around to get me which was really discouraging. My watch broke so I didn't have a time but I took a longer way back (plus Rylee & Addi came back like 5 min after I got there & they ran 80) so I'm guessing I got about 75 minutes. Life is weird

40 minutes. 15 road/20 grass w 5 min striders. Felt good

15 minutes. Weights then 15 minutes just to get us used to the heat.

60 minutes. 25 minute tempo on the dirt mile at 7:30(ish) pace. We warmed up there then started the tempo. I took it step by step instead of thinking how long it was gonna be I took it by laps. It really helped a lot. Stuck in there the whole time & I felt really good about myself afterwards. Then a stellar day of fishing, I give this day a 10/10.

50 minutes. Hill run. I turned with Rylee and we had a good chat about this coming season.

15 minutes. Weights & 15 min run. Holy moly it's hot out these days.
