In my freshmen year, I lettered in both track and cross country. I also got the Rookie of the Year Award in cross country, and the Freshmen of the Year Award in track. At regions for XC I was 7th. At state I was 65th. In track at regions I placed 3rd in the mile and 2nd in the 2 mile. At state I was 17th in the mile and 13th in the 2 mile.

Sophomore year I was a cross country captain and I lettered again. I was 3rd at regions and 12th at state. At track regions I was 3rd in the mile and the 2 mile. I also anchored the winning medley relay team.

Junior year I got a stress fracture about a month before the cross country season started, but made a great comeback with a 2nd place finish at regions.  At state I placed 6th, and I broke 19 minutes for the second time in my racing history.  Team captain again. In track I shattered my old PRs and was doing well until I got a stress reaction.  After 3 weeks off I built my strength back up and performed well at state, earning 4th in the 1600 and 5th in the 3200.  After that, I was invited to the Great Southwest Track Meet in Albuquerque, where I took 5th.

My senior year in cross country I was a captain again, this time with Amanda and Natalie.  This season I was injury free so I got to run competitively at invites.  At state I took 3rd.  At Footlocker Western Regionals I outkicked a girl on the track to finish 10th, which qualified me for nationals the next weekend.  I beat both of the girls who had beat me at state in that race.  At nationals I took 22nd and beat 6 of the girls who had beat me at regionals.  Going into the outdoor season the first Invitational I attended was the Davis Super Meet where I qualified for state in the 1600 and the 3200, and I broke the meet record for the 3200 in an 11:01.29, the previous record was an 11:17.  I had a strong finish to my senior season and finally claimed a state title.  I ran the fastest 1600 and 3200 at state for any division, claiming the double crown in those events, and earning the athlete of the year award :)

Now in college, I run for the University of Utah.  I lettered my freshman season of cross country, and made it to regionals in the 5k in track.

Sophomore year I improved in cross country.  In track I raced the 1500, 5k, 800, 10k, and the mile of the DMR before repeating the 5k at conference and then the 10k at regionals.  Placed 28th behind a lot of seniors... so nationals next year!!

Today we met at Sugarhouse Park.  We ran up 2100s to 2100e where we turned and ran under the freeway and then down 2700s to Alden St. where we ran back to the park the same route that we go to the cemetery.  Then back in the park we turned left and did a grass lap to finish at 6 miles.  Then we did 10 strides.  My calves were very sore at the beginning but they warmed up.  Also my knees were hurting really bad at the beginning of the run.  I wonder if some of the arch strengthening stuff I've done has made me not pronate as much.

Today we met at Sunnyside Park.  We did 2 laps on the outside for warmup and then some strides where there were 2 small hills.  My right hip really hurt on those, the downhill strides didn't help.  Then we did 3 sets of 3 minutes on 3 minutes off fartlek, and then a few more laps for cooldown, totalling 6.

In the evening I ran to the track where I was going to do a speedworkout.  My mom drove my sister to the track, and Bre was at the track already when I got there.  I did 8 strides when I got there, and ended up not doing a speedworkout because my hip was still hurting.  I didn't think laps around the track would feel that great with that.  So I did a few laps around the stadium, and saw quite a few deer by the fence of the soccerfield.  As a cooldown I ran home, and then I did a few weights when I got there.

We ran on Drycreek up by the JCC today.  We carried rocks the first mile and a half, and turned around at 3 miles.  The way up was ok, but I was worried for the way down because I thought it would hurt my hip.  So on the way down I was careful not to overstride, and my hip was doing fine, until I tripped and had to take a large step to catch myself.  I still kept going, the pain went away eventually, but for a while I'm going to take downhills slow.

We went on an XC team hike.  We started early and hiked up to a group of lakes.  We stayed up there for a while, and we had a good time.  First we skipped rocks and ate lunches that we packed.  Then we explored the area.  I'm way sunburned afterwards, but other than that I feel great.  I halved the miles from the hike (6 so 3 runnning miles) 

In the evening I ran to Sugarhouse and did a lap on the outside and came back.  I felt like I was going very fast, though I didn't time it.  Probably the mountain air from earlier :)

Today we ran at Liberty Park.  We did a lap warmup, then stretching, and then 2 laps.  Easy day since some of us are racing tomorrow.

Today I started with a mile warmup on a little trail by the park, which had the distances painted on the ground, that was useful.  Then I changed shoes and had a gu, and then I did some strides at the line.  I didn't get the best start, even though I was right at the line, people went out really fast and I got cut off a lot.  That was frustrating, and the whole first mile I couldn't get that off my mind.  I did the first mile in 6:24, but didn't look at my splits at the other mile marks.  But my average time came up as 6:25 so I had a nice even pace... now I just need to work on faster average pace.  Afterwards when I got home I ran a mile cooldown.  I wanted to do more but it was too hot.
