Alli's running blog

I am sick. No running/no school. It feels like someone is slicing my throat open with a knife and moving my eyes from anywhere but straight hurts like he*k. BUT I TOOK MY MATH TEST AND DID SO GOOD. I'm literally the proudest. Also the bachelor tonight was wild, absolutely blindsided me. 10/10 would recommend watching next weeks episode cause it's gonna be lit. AnywY, yeah back to running tomorrow. Roll tide y'all 

Mustang pass, 35 min. 

Yikes. I went into this run thinking I was exactly where I was on Friday, that wasn't true. I couldn't even keep up with the group. I blame the sickness, I'll get things back on track tomorrow. I'm mostly feeling better it's just my dang cough & throat is really struggling. I even drugged up right before the run to keep the pain out of my head & eyes & they both felt fine. Whatevs

Regular Wednesday workout. Yikes. On the warm up I was coughing a lot & my lungs kind of hurt so I was just gonna see what I could do, we got going on the first set & I was coughing & it was making me feel like I was gonna throw up, & my lungs started burning. Not very good feelings, so I dropped. While I was just running around the track I could feel the disappointment, not from others on the track, I've learned that doesn't really matter, but I was disappointed in myself & really discouraged. I was just going to do the recovery lap with the team when I jumped back in but Roberts started talking to me & I decided to just push through it. I jumped back in & the first 3 were miserable, I knew they weren't helping me cause I wasn't focusing on form or anything, so the next 3 I started to focus on form, I still couldn't stay with the girls, but it helped to focus on form when I was tired. Anyway, bad workout but I learned a bit.

AM- I've been ditching mornings cause of my cold.

PM- 40 minutes + striders. A nice run into green springs, I felt really good & my cough was almost nonexistent. Enjoyed some nice conversation and a nice pace. Then 6 striders. 

Tempo! On the warm up I knew this was gonna be a tough one. My whole body was just exhausted, I've lost a lot of sleep the past little while through sickness. But I was ready to give what I had. We started out & I was doing fine, tired but fine. I figured I might get into the same way I did last week after 15 minutes, but at 15 minutes I was actually falling off the pack. At 19 minutes I said that if I could work my way back up to the pack over the course of the next minute, I could stop. So I did & stopped. Then I just did laps around the track while they finished. This was a super tough mental workout, but I'm proud of how much I was able to stay in there, considering the circumstances. 7/10  !!!!Also prom's tomorrow & its gonna be legendary ahhh
