Alli's running blog

Today we had 30/30s. Which is 30 seconds at our pace we tested into, then 30 seconds recovery, that's 1 set and we did 30 sets. Honestly it's a brutal workout. The actual running isn't bad but it's a total mental game and I struggle with that to the max. Me, Addi and meskerem ran together and we pushed each other and it was way good. I was really feeling it at like 17-20 but I got my head back together and finished really good. After we had weights and I regret to inform everyone that brianna helped me realize I lied last week, I've never been able to bench 70. My max used to be 65 and now it's 60 lol. I'm working on it. But me & caroline planned a fun activity for tonight at 10pm if anyone wants details let me know(;

AM- first morning run of the year. Freezing I felt my hands go numb I swear

PM- mustang pass so I only drive Dallen over and he left with Mitch cause that's right in my hood. Quality run but my legs were absolutely dead. Tough stuff.

AM- it's cold

PM- yoga then 30 minutes to Washington. When we stopped at the light by harts, like 6 min into the run, I got a bloody nose again. So I ran in and cleaned up with Brianna, Ellie, and Caroline. When we came out all the other girls had left us... Haha so we had to run by ourselves. Then on the way back I got another freaking one. So we ran into mcdonalds and cleaned that up. The rest of the run was fine other than an old man stopped us to assure us he wasn't staring at us. Hahaha people are weird.

No morning run. It was way nice. We had our junior prom assembly today and bayless was king, oh man I'm so happy. Then after school we had a tempo. I went into it basically telling myself I was gonna quit. I didn't lead til the end again because I didn't do that last week and I had a horrible run so I just stayed in the back and tried to chill. But I didn't quit at all, I stayed with it for 20 minutes and that was pretty good because I knew i could do it physically but I didn't want to mentally and I won the mental battle. Very good progress and it was beautiful team work today as well.

Long run!!!! And Roberts came!!!! And we did my favorite loop ever!!!! We had 60 min with 1,2,3,2,1 min pickups with equal recovery and striders after. Such a solid run. We ended with a smaller group than normal but it was still way way good. And striders felt amazing. My legs were completely beat (as were like everyone else's, this week was hard apparently) but it felt very good. 

I woke up at like 8 to get my run in before prom. It was way easy and chill after a way tough week. I just did my loop I usually do but I had to add on cause I ran it faster than regular. Then Preston picked me up for prom and we played a ton of way fun games and me and presto won overall. Cause we're the best. Then we got ready and did pictures dinner and went to the dance and played games at dallens house and it was such a quality night. And a long awaited something at the end of the night..(;
