Half-Marathon - 1:24:30.56 (Handcart Days)

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!! 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

 Run a 5k in under 18 minutes

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

I worked on my shins last night and a bit today with a rolling pin.  I'm working on getting my shin splint better.  I didn't want to do too much. I just wanted to see if it had helped.  I did half mile on treadmill and I felt great.

Race: Mormon Mile (1 Miles) 00:06:04, Place overall: 8, Place in age division: 1

I was thinking of running to the race this morning but I didn't. It was at This is the Place Park. I got there and I did about a mile warmup with my sister. We ran along some of of the boardwalks and looked in the windows of the buildings. It was fun. Then I had the camera while my parents were running so I was running around taking pictures. My race started at about 8:30. The race started with an uphill, about 1/4 mile. I wore a compression sock for my shin and I think it helped. There were some college girls in the race and I thought they would be way ahead of me but I was a bit in front of them actually. I had a good finish and then I wandered around with my mom and sister and it started raining really hard. I ran from some of the buildings to other buildings trying not to get too wet. It was really fun.

I ran from my house along 1500e up Sunnyside and along Foothill.  My shin was hurting really bad so I went home along Guardsman and then 1500e again.  I was almost home and my shin hurt too much to run so I just walked home.  I think it hurt so much because I didn't wear a compression sock.  Then my dad took me swimming and I did a half mile.

This morning we had practice at 6am.  We ran from the track to Liberty Park, where we did 10 1 minute on and off fartlek.  I was with Amanda and Bre, and we finished at about a lap and a half, so we finished our second lap and went back to the track.  I wore a compression sock and my shin didn't hurt.

After school we ran from the track to Shriner's and to the drinking fountain and back.  It was 4.6 miles I think.  My leg didn't hurt until on the way back we ran down a hill in the road.  Also Bill said I was pronating a lot.  When we got back to the track we did 3 sets of 25 crunches and 15 pushups.  My shin was hurting so I did girl pushups.  After the workout I got new shoes, and I'll try them out tomorrow.  I got Saucony Hurricanes I think.

I'm not sure what my exact mileage was.  We had a meet today, we ran a course that Bill made.  Granger didn't go to the meet.  We started with a warmup along the course which I'm not sure but I think was 2.5 miles.  Then we did strides and went over a strategy.  I just wore my new shoes because my shin is still a bit injured.  I ran in a compression sock.  For our strategy we tried running to top 5 girls in a pack for the first 3k and then keeping the pace or going faster after the 3k.  We were supposed to go 4:40 a k, about 7:30 a mile.  We were about 5 seconds behind on each of the first 3ks though.  After that, to finish the race I wasn't easily able to get back up to my normal race pace.  I was able to pass a girl from Cottonwood who was in front of us, and then I finished first for the girls.  Afterwards we ran a hill 3 times.  My shin hurt really bad on the first one because I think I pushed too hard.  I took the other ones easier.  Then we did a short cooldown picking up some flags on the course.  I'm excited for BYU Invitational this week.

This morning we had practice. We ran to Sunnyside Park and did a lap around for our warmup. Then we did a 2 lap tempo run, which was 2 miles. Then we did a lap cooldown and ran back to the stadium. My shin didn't hurt.

After school we got to choose between 2 workouts. I chose to stay at the track and do a mile warmup, 2 miles of speedchanges, and a mile cooldown. My shin hurt when I did the speedchanges on the track so I ran on the grass to do them. I think I might have got the wrong shoes again. After the workout my shin was hurting kind of a lot so I iced it. After that it felt ok.

We had an easy run today. We ran from the track up along Sunnyside Avenue, and then along Guardsman Way to 500s. Then we ran down to 1300e over to 800s and up to the track. My shin didn't hurt, so I was thinking of not wearing the compression sock tomorrow but since its a race I don't want to try. I want to wear my spikes tomorrow so I might wrap my ankle/foot.

I put my division place as the place I finish from East, I don't know how I did from 4A. It was hot when it was time for the varsity girls race. The 5 of us warmed up together, we got in about 2 miles. Then we changed into spikes and went to our starting box and did some strides. When we started I thought I might have started too fast, but I think actually I did ok. I was really thirsty though. My shin didn't hurt, I wore a compression sock. I had a nice kick at the end because a girl, I think from Davis, and me had been passing each other back and forth. Right after I finished my shin hurt a bit. After the race my coaches told me that I had done what they told me to, and I don't remember really thinking about about it when I did. It was kind of cool. Like when they told me to catch up to the pack ahead of me I did. So I had a really nice race, and I got a t-shirt for finishing in the top 30. The course was long.
