Alli's running blog

AM- 30 easy

PM- 400, 800, 1000, 1200, & 1600 at race pace at the region course. Hard but felt solid. Good team work today. Jv had a meet and sylvia ran like a beast!! We have a very solid team all the way around. Seriously a great performance out of everyone

AM- my legs are completely so tired so I was going about 20 minute pace this morning. Now I am sitting on the floor in my English class cause we are having a lock down. shoutout to dallen cause he's sitting next to me and we have 5/10 classes together. 

PM- easy 30 barefoot at sandstone. No weights today which is really too bad because I've been working really hard on my bench press, my max is now 2.5 pound weights on each side which is pretty impressive I think. Now I'm finishing my apush which'll take all night so pray for me

AM- easy 30. I've been feeling kind of sick the past few days. We don't have school monday and that is something I just found out I am so happy. Also I'm going to durangos with marque and Josie and possibly this other kid and durangos is delicious

PM- SANDHILLS!!! (aka one hill of a workout) I love sandhills so much. I had 5x1 min up the hill then recovery back down (all the other girls had 4x1 cause Josie and meskerem were not there). I led all of them but we still packed pretty good i think and on all the other girls' last one Caroline yelled, let's keep up with Alli! and that helped me so much as well as her we finished way close to each other and the last one I ran with Julien and mikey and evan and Ryan and roberts. I felt a little sickish after them but it was fine. I think my body is just getting really tired from our hard week last week and this week so I'm super excited for our recovery next week. Also we had weights and I got my new max bench which is 55!! so now nick cannot laugh at me

AM- easy run at quicker pace than we've been going lately. Runathon tonight soo excited 

PM- runathon!!!!! Except just look at Saturday's post 

RUNATHON wow the swaggest night with some swag people. We listened to lots of music and ate lots of pizza and got to know each other a heck of a lot better. Also me and rylee invented a game and it is called the spinning game and you spin like a thousand times it's really cool. Also me Josie Irene seanne sasha and destiny played truth or dare and me Josie Sylvia julien and rylee played throw the football which is a fun game. I was one of the few who didn't sleep at all! I hit my first wall at about 11 then got my second wind then hit another wall about 1:30 and another wall at like 4:30 and that one was the hardest to keep going after because I had to leave and go to work. I worked with this kid I've never met, his name is britton and he looks like an elf. I prefer working with jackson cause he's who I always work with but it was fine. Currently I am not tired at all actually. Almost to 30 hours of no sleep and I really am not feeling it but I am laying on my bed and hopefully I will fall asleep. 

60 min long run. I had work this morning and the girls ran early so I had to run on my own. But at work I fell and broke my tailbone, not even kidding it hurts so bad. When I got out it hurt really bad but as I kept going it started to feel a little better. I tried to do some fartleks but that made it hurt incredibly bad so I skipped the rest of those. I just went out mustang pass then turned around and back to my house. It actually felt SO good outside. It's finally starting to be fall. 

TIME TRIAL #3 so I'm still extremely butthurt (pun cred to preston) and it hurt alllll day today, but only hurt probably the first .25 of the race so that was fabulous. Started out and I was just up there but from almost the very beginning I was thinking negative. Then I started to say "if you can't push here you aren't going to push at Murray and that's where it really counts" which really helped me a lot. I visualized a lot on this course cause that's always just what comes to mind so that probably helped too. We were a lot more spread out as a pack today... Caroline was injured and Rylee did amazing so it was kinda mixed up. At the last stretch I was a little behind Jacey and Ellie (in 6th place) and I just sat there then thought that I'd worked this hard and I didn't wanna just sit anymore so I kicked it in and me and Jacey pushed together until the end, she got me by .2 but it felt wayy better to push that ending. I ended up 5th with 12:39 so not a good time but we were all a little bit slower. Then we did 4x400s at 5k race pace and cooled down for the rest of our time. Hard day but fun. Also I drove miles, evan, cooper and mikey over to the course and they were seriously cracking me up talking about coming out of the closet and stuff like that they're probably my favorites not gonna lie

No morning practice again which I'm beginning to enjoy. At lunch I almost got my license suspended cuz Corbin threw a waffle out my car window hahahaha. The run was just 30 minutes barefoot. Hardest run of my life holy moly my legs were dead. I just kinda tried to stay up with the pack, we all got cold shouldered by my brother. He's such a dingus. Rolled out good and tried to study for apush everyone wish me luck on our test tomorrow cause I'm so nervous

AM- easy my legs were freaking tired until like we got off the main road on the way back. Also the sunrise was completely amazing this morning

PM- dope swag adventure run with some dope swag 200s afterwards. ready to go beast and feast at dope swag Murray tomorrow. Still sad we aren't going to herriman, won't be able to see my sick lehi friendz but it's okay we'll have a splendid time

AM- 3 easy usual

PM- Race at murray. We warmed up the course, so 3 miles, like 2 hrs before we raced. Then did a small one right before the race. I felt pretty good about it. I stayed with the pack for like half then started to fall off but I didn't fall off too far honestly. It was a tough course but it actually felt pretty short. We ended 3rd as a team (to AF & Davis), which was sick and we got a trophy. I met Garek B. and he said he's seen my blog which was also sick. Now I'm going to sleep so I can do a sick workout on the revised state course tomorrow so goodbye fellow bloggers. 

Workout on the state course! First we ran the course all the way through. It's way confusing we were trying to follow a map but I did not even understand. Then we ran it backwards for our workout. It was 2(1, 2, 3 min) at state goal pace. It felt extremely good. We ran as a pack good and worked together well. It was so scary running down the big hill haha. Now we're driving back to st.g except I don't actually wanna go back there currently.

AM- easy 30. Pretty good pace and felt good

PM- crazy starting to the run coach Roberts collapsed waiting for a light and his eyes were rolled back in his head and he was seizing and they called the ambulance but they didn't come and it was really scary. He was okay though do not worry. We ran up into washington down into green springs by my home and up around. We got attacked by the weather during one of our fartleks (we had 2 sets of 1,2 min with 4 recovery) it started pouring and blowing dirt. The rest of the run was good. It felt AMAZING outside the bank said it was 91 and like half the time there was a decent cloud cover ah it was perfect. Also striders and weights. Seriously I'm getting so buff I work so fri*kin hard in the weight room

AM- real fun run with only me Josie meskerem and roberts 

PM- workout at the Bloomington park before Duel in the Desert. We had 3(1000, 600) at interval & race pace. It was hard but a good workout and we packed way way good. The JV races were fun to watch. Our team ran so awesome!!!!!! Shoutout to Mitch cuz hes my language arts buddy and made me realize mrs. Endsley looks like a who.

AM- we could not go to arctic circle because there was a guy with a gun that pointed his gun at dallen!!! So we ran green springs which is where I live(: and it was a fun fun time

PM- after ditching seminary I locked my keys in my car (these are the consequences people) and couldn't leave until my mom took me home. It was a hard day I'm glad it's over. Had a good run barefoot on the grass though and now I'm ready to catch up on crazy amounts of homework, here we go. Side note- my mom keeps making cookies and brownies we have about 13hundred batches at my house right now and I'm really enjoying it.

AM- easy into green springs again. I saw all my fellow workmates driving to work and I was so happy I was not working

PM- sandhills my favorite workout ever. On the run over there I could feel that my legs were pretty tired but I was sure it was still gonna be a great workout. I led the whole time but I could definitely feel my teammates behind me pushing me. I made it farther than I ever have on all of them. To the top on almost all of them. My last one wasn't as strong as I would have liked, by the ending I was not pushing very hard. I was definitely tired on all of them and I feel a bit sickish I think I need more sleep. But a good workout all around and I was happy with our teamwork today!!

AM- back to arctic circle. Carolines main goal was to get us back to the school without getting shot. I gotta say I was laughing really hard

PM- easy prerace even though we don't have a race tomorrow! We ran sandburgs then 4x200s after but I only did 2. My achillies was hurting this morning and started up again so I did one, sat out one, did another one and decided I was done. Really going to roll out, ice, and visualize tonight! After practice me josie anna dallen and mitch met at Josies house and did math homework (very successfully, I did the most and I did 4 problems...) and had cookies then we went and visited macey at work! Now I have to retake the apush test I didn't pass and hopefully pass this one.

Canyon View invite, instead of racing coach had the varsity run over to our region course as a warm up then do our workout there and cool down back. We had 2 sets of 1,2,3 min at region race pace. The team packed way way good. I kept falling off on the 3 min ones but I came back and it turned out to be a good workout. Our top 7 JV girls ran in the varsity race and THEY TOOK FIRST. All 5 scorers in the top 10. That was the only race we got to watch but it was so unbelievably cool. I love love love our team and the awards ceremony was so fun to watch and I am just so impressed with everyone. Also we are having a scary movie night and I am very excited

AM- long run in the morning today and it was SOOO FUN. We ran out around harts, past arctic circle down by target up and over foremaster and up 2450. Best run with my bestest friends in the whole world I'm so happy that they are my team not even kidding. Also striders and 2(1,2min) pickups and we have an early out today woohoo 

PM- easy three to arctic circle. We sat at the mouth of neon spider for ages and just talked about life. Then left without going through haha. When I say I'm grateful for my team I'm not kidding

AM- small crowd but good run and my legs were so so so so tired holy moly

PM- 4x1000 plus wave hills at the middle school. Ran over there and got started on our first one. Didn't feel amazing and my achillies hurt. I stuck in the pack but didn't feel good at all. 2nd on came and I fell off the pack like a ton. Wasn't mentally in it. Was sick of my achillies and wanted to be done. Coach talked to us after this one (I had already decided I wasn't doing the next one) and he talked about making the big jump and how we could all go with it. I decided I wanted that jump so bad so I did the next one and got out fast. I was way ahead of the pack and they kept telling me to chill but I already had it in my brain how this one was gonna go. I pushed up hard the hills despite my achillies pain and finished fast and strong. I felt so good mentally. The next one I got out fast again but Jacey Rylee and Josie caught me and kicked harder at the end. I still felt good during it but afterwards my achillies was on fire. I only did the downhill part of the wave hills and did 5 instead of 3. They felt good and strong and I am so ready for bob firman. 

AM- easy 30 my legs were dying

PM- good run with lots going on it was easy barefoot on the grass and we had like 4 things we had to pass to each other it was hard. Now the parade & powderpuff game. I love homecoming week

AM- easy before headed up to BOB FIRMAN

PM- state course workout. We did a warm up then 1,2,3,2,1 at race pace and a couple downhill repeats. It felt good and we were really strong. It was probably our best pack work!! Then we went over to nebo and watched our team race. As always they did outstanding!!!!

AM- easy run around sandy. (Because we split the drive into two days at stayed the night in sandy) there was hills all over the place but it felt like a good run!

PM- went over to the course and ran it with some pickups and practice starts. It was sick. Also met connor baller and collinxc for the first time so shoutout to them 

Bob firman. Wow I've be waiting for this for a long time and individually it was definitely not how I imagined it. We did about 1.5 warm then got over to the starting line. We had a good spot and nobody next to us so lots of room to move. The gun went off and I got a great start. Our whole team was up with the front pack and I kept telling myself that's exactly where I wanted to be. I don't even know what happened after. About around the beach part on the first lap was when I started losing it. Ellie passed me on the beach part on the second lap and I really really wish I would've gone with her. I keep losing the mental battle and I just got to get that fixed. We ended up 5th as a team winning the tiebreaker! I'm so proud of my team and how good they did. Also meskerem totally rocked it and got 20th! 

Overall it was a super sick trip and I'm way glad I went. I'm going to work day in & day out on how to be a better runner. Maybe google it or something

AM- easy 30. My legs were dead so so dead.

PM- 15 min warm 3xmile repeats with an all out 200 and cool down to time. We had the repeats at goal race pace for region (6:15) then for the first one we were supposed to hit 10 sec faster than that (6:05), the second one was supposed to be 15 sec slower than our race pace (6:30) and the last one was 5 seconds faster than race pace (6:10). My first one I got out fast and led the pack strong for the whole one pretty much, but my shins were hurting a lot. I think it was about 6:06ish. The second one I got out strong and led with rylee for the most part and ended in the pack with probably 6:28? The last one I was trying everything to just stay in there. I have no idea what my time ended with. I didn't stay with the pack. On the last lap I came back and finished good and strong but I CANNOT lose the pack when I'm tired. Coach says I just need to believe in myself and I suppose that's true I just don't know where to start. The 200 was very strong for me and me and Jacey fought for it good. Good workout overall. I need to work on that last mile a ton. Maybe start always picking it up at the end of runs/workouts, even easy runs. I'll work on it. But I think it was good because my shins were hurting lots and I wanted to take one off after every one but I kept in there and I'm glad I did. That's one step forward

AM- don't know about my legs they're feeling trashy. Fire alarm went off twice before school started and the entire hall by the locker room was filled with smoke. We barely got out alive 

PM- 40 min with half of it on the grass. Holy moly my legs are struggling these last few runs. Also I have like 5 tests and 15 homework assignments due Thursday. My teachers hate me probably

Shoutout to all the girls for asking literally every guy in the school to sadies the day after homecoming. It's fine I'm gonna ask someone cool like Nathan gledhill probs

AM- easy 30 legs felt better still tired

PM- at bloomington hills park, 15 min warm, 15 min tempo then straight into a 100/100 workout where we did 100 at all our pace then 100 at tempo and we did 10 of each other those. I felt way good on the tempo stuck in there strong and convinced myself that I wanted to be in the pack. The 100s we broke up a bit before we started so I was a little bit behind ellie and Caroline and I worked my way up to them and passed them finished with Brianna cuz she was all by herself. I felt way good on these as well. A super sick workout and a good step forward. Keeping positive. Then cool down about 10 minutes
