Alli's running blog

4 mile progression on the dirt mile. Holt-o ran with us today which was a different thing. Also he yelled really loud at the boys which was not a different thing. The first lap was a little faster than 8 minute pace then I got up and led for like lap 2 & 3 which were 7:50 & 7:40. Then I fell back a bit on the last lap which was sub 7. I seriously thought I was gonna throw up the last lap cause I made the mistake of eating yogurt before the run so that was gross. On the striders my legs were so tired so I only did 6. Also I read the book roberts gave us and took a nap.

Also countdown to my birthday: 29 days

am- 45 easy. Actually not easy. My legs were really tired. I'd say this was one of our worst runs as a team. No one ran together and it was just blah. Whatever, tomorrow will be great

pm- 20 easy. Went about 8:50 pace and found a nice little loop around my neighborhood. Macey & Irene were at gs park as I ran by so I went and said hi. It was about 101°. So honestly I'm not complaining cause it could've been a lot hotter. 

60 easy around bloomington park and on the river trail. We weren't together as a team again. Meskerem was cracking us all up though. She's going on a date tonight with a dhells kid but she still can't remember his name. We stopped at the river and laid in it it was lovely cause it was so humid and gross. 

65 minutes with 8 striders. Good adventure run even though we got lost in dirt. Me & jos were the only ones that went 60 so we had to run on our own for the last half & striders. Sometimes it's a good thing to just run with one person. My legs were quite tired so I'm thinking this'll be a good recoveryish week.

AM- just an easy grass run with my sister at vernon worthen. Nice run. Now we're off to colorado for like months

PM- just 20 after we finally got to CO. I wasn't feeling too well but the run really made me feel better so that was good

40 minutes easy with jess. The elevation is starting to get to me. My breathing was awful on this run. Im hoping to find a good place to do striders and do them after tomorrow hopefully. Leadville is the cutest town 

Have NOT been feeling good (pretty much this entire trip) but especially today. We went white water rafting early in the morning til like 4 but by the time we got back I just can't move. But I'll see what happens if I start to feel better tonight I'll try and get in even just a short one

Ended up going only 20, so like my afternoon run without a morning run. My breathing was not good and my stomach was not cooperating very well but we kept a good pace and my legs felt really good. Hoping to feel better tomorrow morning and be able to do my run tomorrow

haven't gotten better this entire trip. Had to stay inside alone all day Friday and then Saturday we hiked mt. Elbert even though I wasn't feeling good. My parent said I shouldn't run for a couple days so I haven't been. Today we went on a 13 mile bike ride. I still don't feel 100% but maybe like 70 or 80. We're leaving tomorrow so when I get back to st.g I'll run.

AM- grass run. My legs were super tired and I just didn't have it in me today. I've been fine the past few days with my sickness and whatever but when I started to run I coughed a lot more and whatever so I don't really know. It was okay though I stayed up with the group and everything.

PM- just 20 and it killed me. We were going like 8:45 pace and I was dying! Not a good thing. I might only do like 2 or 3 laps tomorrow to ease myself back into running I guess

3 laps progression at dirt mile. shoutout to the 4 girls at practice today for not living in the fields. Felt pretty alright other than my cough but that'll get better. I'm taking the afternoon off to recover and whatnot. Super excited for practice tomorrow I don't even know why

45 easy with the girls. Fun run we took it really easy

50 up ice house!!!! I love ice house so much. We were going a good pace even up the hill. Shoutout to the lone peak kid that came and ran with us cuz he has sick hair

40 minute w/ 4x3:00 pickups. The first 2 were incredibly hard and I was going so slow. The last 2 I went a lot faster and they felt a lot better. I did it on mustang pass. 

AM- I had to run on my own this morning cause brockman finally called me!! (Also I didn't let anyone know that I wouldn't be at practice cuz I got my phone taken away so coach plz don't be mad at me). It was pretty hard. I ran into mustang pass again. That's as far as I've ever been down that trail. It was raining quite. I picked it up on the way back cause I was going sooo slow on the way there so my average for the last couple miles was 7:25-7:30. I have to drive with brockman all week but I'll be at practice tomorrow. Countdown to my birthday- 10 days!!!!

PM- 30 supposed to be easy but it was so hard for me. I wore all black which was actually a dumb decision of the day but it felt like we were going so speedy. Either way it's good to be back with the girls and have us all together again

AM- 30 min grass run.

PM- 30 minutes easy to Caroline's house. My achillies started kinda bothering me again so I turned earlier and went slower. Now I get to go to a wedding for 2 people I don't know for like 10 hours...

No progression for me today because I didn't have a watch in the morning and I just couldn't motivate myself to go in the middle of the day/heat. Did 4 with a quick finish with jessica. We were going in the low 8s and mid 7s the whole run so we weren't going super slow. I need to work on making myself run what I'm supposed to even if I can't run with the team.

AM- Probably about 4. I had to turn around early so I could go drive. I passed! So now I just have to wait for my birthday (7 days). Ran the way back with Sylvia & Caroline and had some good chats about life and driving and parents and trees.

PM- easy 30 to arctic circle. Really fun run

Warmed up for the race. We got to the starting line and rylee said we should stick it together for the first 2 miles then go on our own and me and Sylvia said alright. We started out and weren't going too fast. We were in 2nd and just kind of chilling behind this lady. We ran up this one road and saw a turtle that was completely smashed it was gross. When we got to mile 2 we decided we probably shouldn't split up haha. But Sylvia fell back about at this time and me and rylee passed the lady at like 2.5. When we were about at like 3 miles we saw the boys team running around and they started yelling at us asking who was gonna be first so we both just started booking it. We ended literally within milliseconds of each other but the people said I was first probably cuz I'm cuter. Then cooled down to probably about 5 miles.

Easy 45 around my neighborhood 

AM- 45 minutes w 6 striders. Only did 6 because I was feeling really sick. Still am. Headed up to camp in an hour and cannot even wait

PM- easy 30 once we got to camp except wasn't easy for me haha

AM- 75 minutes long run up through the mountains. Had a negative attitude then changed it and felt amazingly good and just cruised with meskerem, Jacey & jos.

PM- 30 easy. I don't actually remember this run but I'm sure it was good.

AM- 55 straight uphill. (Well halfway) Really tough run but me Jacey Caroline and Ellie stuck together and it turned out to be a pretty great run.

PM- 45 at conversational pace. Funnest run in a looong time Also on the way back coach broke the school suburban on a log hahahah

Another 45 easy. It was a fun run and guess what everyone I'M FINALLY 16

AM- 45 on mustang pass. On the way back I biffed it hardcore and scraped up my knee and hands pretty bad. But I got my license so hooray for me

PM- 30 with the girls from nisson park around then to sandburgs (which is disgusting and low) so back to nissons to play in the baby river. Had a going away party for Jason, gonna miss him. Also shoutout to connor baller cuz he called me on my birthday and we had a sick convo
