Alli's running blog

No morning practice for the rest of the year. Sand hills. Workout felt weird. We had 3 up hills and 3 down hills. I love these but my lungs were weird and stuff. Still a good day.

30 with striders. My legs were very tired and I just felt draggy. We weren't even going fast I was just tired today.

We had a 100 to 200 workout, increasing by 20 every time and increasing the speed as well. It was way easy and felt good. 10 warm & cool. One our cool down this kid named John was running around the track and Caroline used my pickup line I taught her and said "what's your name?....(John).... Wow that's a nice name you got a number to go with it?" HAHAHA oh man it was great. He was way funny about it too. I left practice speedy quick cause there was a dead bird and nobody wants to hang around that. I almost stepped on it!!!! Oh man it freaked me out I hate birds. 

Ran when we got to california. It was a swell run full of singing and pretend swearing.

Nice and easy run on the footlocker course it was so very fun and I love this course with all my heart. Then we went to the beach it was so sick and it was the best beach ever and the water felt so good and it was so lovely.

Footlocker!! This was my best race of the season by far. I decided to start out slow so I got out good then slowed way down. I just tried to stick with Laynee W from dhells cause I knew she was gonna go the pace I wanted to start with. Despite my efforts I passed her and kind of went faster than I wanted. The switchbacks were good. Laynee got with me again on them and we pushed over the hill. I passed tons of people on the downhills, I think the downhills was the reason I was able to get top 48 which was my goal, to get a medal. But I felt way solid on all the downhills so that's good. Poop out hill was good too and the back side of the course was kind of tough and it went on forever. Going on the downside of reservoir hill I lost control and really thought I was gonna fall but I passed like 7 people so that was way good. I just pushed it in and finished 30th overall. and I had a great time. This was the funnest race and I'm glad I was able to end good. BUT I AM SO PUMPED FOR TRACK SEASON!!!!!
