Alli's running blog

Just 30 easy. I had drivers ed at 8 but really wanted to be out for the first day of practice so I ran before then went & did warm ups with the team. I started out around the neighborhoods but then decided to go out to the desert. Saw a sick sunrise & just thought in my brain about how crazy real God is. Finished up & realized I was supposed to be leaving for practice so I was late.. Oops. Then finished off the day at gross drivers ed. But hey I'm super pumped for this season and our team and I can't wait for the first run of the season I get to run with my teamsters 

Also, I have an annoying amount of water in my ear & may have damaged my hearing/given myself brain damage trying to get it out so if anyone has an suggestions they're very welcome

3 miles grass run w/ striders. Again I had drivers ed so bleh. But woke up at 5:45 this morning so I wasn't late to practice!! And I started out just ran to the park (2ish minutes?) then started my grass run and since green springs park is rather small & half of it was being sprinkled I had a little portion of the park I ran around for 15 minutes, then did my striders. All was very well & I started running again around the outside of the park and I GOT ATTACKED BY A BIRD it landed on my head and I've been terrified of them since I got tortured by one when I was 2 so that was the most frightening experience of my life I actually wanted to cry. Finished & went to practice and ran the warm up then left again hahah

UPDATE: the water is still in my ear and it sounds like a freakin ocean in there. 

40 minutes easy I went up to mustang pass & it's a possibility I heard a rattlesnake but I'm not actually sure. also I was one of the first people to practice today so hoorah for me. 

30 easy with striders. Did a loop out through my desert then stopped at the park for my striders. Went to practice & did the warm up then left againnnn. Three cheers for the fact that I take my final drivers ed test tomorrow. Then I'll be on the roads with all the cool people.

Didn't run my full run today. Woke up & was celebrating my last day of drivers ed so I was actually kind of excited for the run but when I got out there I had barely gone up the hill by my house on green springs dr. before my achillies just started killin me. I decided to cut through silver stone 2 & head back to my house. Ended at about 9 minutes & iced iced iced both my achillies'.

Holy smacks hardest run of my life. I haven't been able to sleep in past 6 this entire week so I decided I was just gonna run whenever I woke up because I'm a dingus. And then, when I woke up my parents were like lets go bowling! and I was like well frick. (I got a new pr of 115 though so that was cool). So I didn't end up running til 3. It was burning hot. I just ran down gs drive & did my fartleks on that. The run was 35 min with 3x3 min fartleks with 3 min recovery. The first one I pushed really hard and was like dead by the time I finished hah. I slowed it down a bit on the other 2. They were all really hard pushes though. I thought I was dying on the way back like my lungs did that weird thing where they don't expand when you breathe in so haha that was a problem. But I lived and returned to my home.

another update cause I know you guys love those: I've just gotten used to the fact that I can't hear out of my left ear but people keep talking right into it so I would prefer to not have water in it anymore. It's been 6 days!!!!
