Alli's running blog

AM- we went very speedy but turned early and took it easier on the way back. Also broke our record with 23 girls!

PM- long run w 2(1,2 min) pickups and striders and weights. Tough run but it felt awesome. I started out with a bit of a negative attitude then decided it was going to be a good run and it just went uphill from there! It felt way better than last week, probably cause it wasn't hot as Haiti this time around, like 104 or something. Maycee H killed it!!! She was with us the whole time. We're definitely gonna be seeing some awesome things from her this year and years to come. Also we got in the splash pad at pine view park and it felt lovely

AM- 30 easy. Took it slow and accidentally killed the ball

PM- 30 easy same way as this morning but we went through neon spider before we turned around. Then I ate about 12 cookies and did my apush and we're going to durangos to celebrate Jess leaving and today is a good day!!

AM- 3 easy to arctic circle

PM- TIME TRIAL #2. On the way over there Paul figured out we had a 14, 15, 16, & a 17 year old in our car it was so cool! We got there warmed up and cheered for the youngsters. We started out and I got out leading the pack. I felt so good so so good. The first time we went on the back stretch I felt like we started to slow so I surged a bit and the team came with me which made me feel way strong. We started to go up the top of the park and coach said we had to have someone push ahead up the gradual hill so we wouldn't slow so I responded to that and pushed the team up the hill. That's the part in taking away from this race. I felt so strong to be able to pull the team up the hardest part of the course. When we started going up after the bottom of the course I started to fall behind the pack and caroline went behind me and told me that I had to pull her up to the pack and it felt SO awesome to have her there for me. we spread out more at the ending and I ended 6th, which is fine, I was going for 5th but I'm really proud of the way we finished strong. It really felt like such a strong team oriented race. I'm so proud to be on such an amazing team. Finished it out with a 2x800m workout and cooled to time.

AM- 30 easy. When we passed arctic circle jacey said if we sprint now we can make it to then end of the wall. So I took off and made it. #wifeme

PM- 45 easy on prospecter. Took it way super easy til coach yelled at us then went faster then normal but felt good. Quote of the day by rylee "I get the gopro cause I'm the daughter and the oldest and I'm taller than my mom"

Today was just the best day ever ever ever

AM- easy run told scary stories the entire time and they were completely terrifying also we turned off the lights in the locker room and told them and oh my goodness I was freaking out.

PM- easy grass run/ football game boys vs girls. The boys went completely crazy and tackled like everyone it was quite the sight. Girls would have won if coach wasn't the time stopper and also happy birthday to him and also the car wash is tomorrow so everyone come

Then I just had a hardcore talk with my dad about work then running and all the stuff I gotta do mentally to prepare and he told me how proud he was of me this year and it was just a super sick talk to have before my 2nd (but pretty much 1st) day of work tomorrow

Couldn't run with the tema on account of I had work so I ran after the car wash when it was about 3million degrees cause I couldn't go at night either. My legs were beat after the car wash. I had to wait in like an hour line so after that I made Jake take my car through which was actually terrifying cuz he might crash but he's the only other one that can drive stick and it turned out fine. I did the rinsing station and also sprayed people and it was fun
