AM- easy but was hyped to race today

PM- we had the PV Autumn Classic Dirt Mile Extravaganza. 3 mile loops at the dirt mile. I started off good in the pack, fell a little about halfway through, and lost the majority of the pack the last lap. However most of us had season prs and I was one of those people. 19:39 and 6th (Caroline dropped out at lap 2) I talked to coach after about the fact that I have to focus or else I fade. This race felt really beneficial to show myself what I can do. I should have had a stronger finish because I was right behind jacey and I could have got with her. Major shoutout to meskerem because she killed it with an 18:20something? even though she got surgery like 3 days ago. Also shoutout to myself cause I finally got twitter, everyone follow me

AM- just me jos and roberts. The lonely mornings aren't bad mornings.

PM- easy lower end of mid distance run. We went into green springs like my favorite run ever plus I live there. There was road construction so we ran on the good and not dangerous side of the road. Also we played the game of roger fence only me Caroline and meskerem were successful.

AM- easy 30

PM- same workout we did last wednesday. For our thousands we wanted 3:55 and got :55 :59 :45 & :38. Kind of all over the place but we were packed and that's what matters. We had a good sized group with about 8-9 finishing with us. The 400s were nice and fast. And the 100s were also fast. It rained and was cold, tis the season.

AM- easy 30 it was freezing

PM- easy barefoot grass miles. The grass was cold. After practice there was a huge debate on the death penalty and if it is ever a good punishment. Also i started listening to my Elvis Christmas cd in my car for the season. Also we had the sadies assembly shoutout to nick and preston for being the funniest ones there.

AM- 30 

PM- sunrise tire hills. 8x20 seconds up w/ 10 sec recovery (you end up going up the hill twice). I like this workout, hills are my fav. I felt strong the first time up the hill, but I really believed in myself and got going the second time up. Quality workout then a quality night.

I had work at 8 and sadies at noon so we got together at 6:30 and ran mustang pass right by my house. Just easy 60. I felt good. We talked about one topic literally the entire run. After, we went to sadies and it was a blast and a half. Shoutout to michael my sick date. We went sand sledding and played basketball and did cool tricks on this lady's tramp. Also we saw coach at the dance! Way fun, good times

AM- easy 30. Nice

PM- race w the hells. We drove clear out there and got all warmed up and everything and got started. strong first mile with a good pack. I started to slip about 1.25 probably. I wasn't focusing as much. But I stayed focused the first mile incredibly good!! That's a positive. I knew addi was working on me and I tried to keep up and just stick with laynee but I didn't. I was about 1-2 sec behind laynee and 3-4 sec behind Addi. 8th on the team. I know that Nike is something that I want with all my heart. But I want our best team there and if I don't deserve it I'm not mad. I haven't performed what I should have this season and Addi came in clutch like a champ. Still a pr and I felt I had a good race. whether footlocker or Nike is next I'm pumped

No morning. I love sleeping in

PM- we had easy 30 to hot nails. I felt good but we did some random surges chasing each other and my legs were dead every time I did one. I just need to rest them tonight.

So I'm going to Nike. I want to believe that I deserve this opportunity more than anyone who doesn't get to go but I am so incredibly sick of disappointing myself and my team. maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself and I need to just chill out about life. I don't know

No morning.

10 min tempo then 3x800. Our times were all over the place but my shins were actually killing me. I was in a ton of pain but I'm fixing it for sure. Cool down and warm up were about 1.5ish

60 minutes all by myself. Not crazy about running on my own but it wasn't bad. Props to nick for cleaning up mustang pass. It looks great

No morning!

Dream mile in the afternoon!! I was feeling decent going into this, wasn't crazy looking forward to it but wasn't dreading it. It was way cold and windy so that made me wish it was a different day. We warmed up 2. We ran the track backwards so the wind wouldn't be as bad (coach is a wind expert) and we started at the 100 so it'd be the same but we turned right instead of left. We started out as a pack and everything. I was feeling pretty good, as good as I've felt all season. As we were finishing our second lap holt said "Alli you've got to focus are you focused?" And that totally got me in the right mindset, I thought I was focused before but that seriously just clicked and as Ellie passed me I went and got with her. If I'm completely honest with myself I haven't had actual fun in a race all season, racing just wasn't fun anymore, but this race was fun. I actually enjoyed pushing myself during the race. I know I've got my drive back, and I have never been more excited for a race as I am for Nike. I ended 6th on the team instead of my 7-8th spot that I've been maintaining all season. I know I'm ready to push myself to the absolute limit and help my team qualify for nationals. Oh man I just can't wait.

AM- easy 20.

PM- 4x400s starting at 5k pace and getting faster with 5 min recovery. We wanted to start with 1:35 and move down a couple seconds each time. We hit 1:37, :32, :30, :18. Lol @ the last one and the first one. Clearly we could work on trying to feel the pace better but this was a pretty easy workout and it was just a fun time. So ready for nike. It's gonna be legendary. Also us & the boys made it into the championship race so three cheers for that

NXR. Not really sure what to say about this. I wasn't in it. It felt like one of my hardest efforts of the year but it just wasn't what I wanted. Team did great and took 11th (although there was scoring mishaps so we have the 10th place trophy). We destroyed stansbury, they took like 22nd. So everyone hopefully knows who deserved to win state. My goal for footlocker is to have a slow first mile and kill the other 2. I just need to be passing people instead of getting passed. I'm frikkin pumped for track though. The ride home was a 10/10 though

AM- me and jos had to retake a test in the morning so we went at 6 and a bunch of girls decided to get up early with us which was awesome. Good run but it was cold.

PM- 3xMile repeats with 3 min recovery in between. I've been doing workouts with the top group of girls all year even though my race times haven't been exactly the same as some of them but today coach told us to go totally off of our last 5k we've ran. So I was actually not with them today. It was very discouraging at first because we had to run slower and I wanted to be with them and I knew that was the pace I should be going. But I stayed back and me sylvia & Addi had a great workout with a 6:49, :40, :10. The last one I felt way strong and confident. I really enjoyed running with them and I think it's definitely gonna boost my belief in myself. Solid day. I wish it would snow though.

I just had 30 min and we were going up to salt lake so I ran early in the morning before we left. It was a nice run through my neighborhoods. There was about a million people out. Why do so many people come to st.george, stay in your own dang towns

Another 30 plus striders. I know why people go to st.g. It's freezing everywhere else. There was wind and SNOW!!! Snow is not how it appears in movies people, it's very very colder than expected. My aunt lives right by Liberty park and so me and jess drove to my aunts then ran to liberty park and did a couple laps and some striders. when I was 2 me and my sister got tortured in the aviary there and I've been terrified of birds ever since so that was a fun memory lol. I'm thankful for my ability to run though it's great

3(1000 & 400) after a long day of driving the team met up and did this up the dam road. I hit my times which was good. Legs felt good I was just kinda tired. A dog that we named max kept following us. It was so cute! But it kept running in front of us haha.

45 into mustang pass. Nick has really done a solid job on it clearing it up and whatnot. It's sick. I felt way gross cause I ate like a ton before I went out and ran but I just took it easy and it was good. Quick finish was suprisingly strong for how I'd been feeling before. Solid

No morning practice for the rest of the year. Sand hills. Workout felt weird. We had 3 up hills and 3 down hills. I love these but my lungs were weird and stuff. Still a good day.
