Alli's running blog

90 minutes. Longest run of this year for me! Long run with 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, pickups in the middle. We ran out grapevine & up the big hill then over the top into coral canyon & down telegraph. We had to add on down to Paxman auto so we stopped for a drink (they have the deliciousest water in town). We ended with a small group, like 5 of us. It was a large mental battle today but I'm real glad I pushed through. I was really only going to go 75 but I would've had to run back past all the crows by myself and those things are scary lol. Solid run with some solid girls.

I'm really gonna try to blog the WHOLE week this week, we'll see how that goes. 

55 minutes.

AM- 35 minutes with 6 striders. i felt pretty good, I just expected myself to not feel pretty good & once I get out of that mindset I can seriously do 1000x better. Kids club after was fun, our group is full of lazy complainers but we manage to have a good time. 

PM- weights then 15 minutes. Idk if I can count the weights I didn't do much.... & everyone makes fun of me when I lift anyway so. But the run was nice & hot

50 minutes. Just an easy run out on turtle trail. It felt very very hard probably cuz I have been going to bed at 1 & 2 these past few nights. I should probably get on top of that so I can start feeling better. After practice me & Brianna went and got mozzerella sticks and they were delicious.

75 minutes.. 

AM- 25 minute tempo. I felt suprisingly good on this, my legs have been absolutely trashed this whole week but they felt way decent today. It was nice that the last 5 minutes there was only 3 of us. I need to try to have a better mindset about when teammates say stuff like "get up here" and I'm literally side by side with them, I'm doing fine worry about yourself. However I should be thinking "oh good they want me in front of them I guess". Idk, I'm wayyyyy too hard headed. 

PM- weights then 15 minutes. Weights were hilarious, me & Brianna found a huge rubber band stretching thing & swung around in it man that was some good stuff. Then a run on very very very tired legs.

50 minutes. 45 + striders at Bloomington hills north park. We started out just by doing the first & last lap of the region course then we went out on the river trail & finished with 8 striders. Felt like a solid run

60 minutes. I led the team to little black mountain trail to run cause I've been there twice & it seemed flat & nice. It was about a million degrees i swear. Overall a tiring but nice run.
