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:

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

This morning before the run I put my shin in the hottub for about 5 minutes. I went running with Bill and Bre. We ran along some trails by where I ran yesterday. We saw some turkeys and squirrels and we even saw a raccoon. After about 2 miles Bre and I wanted to go back so we turned around. We went a slightly different way to go around some lakes, and then we found some tire marks and decided to follow them. That wasn't so great an idea when we both ran into some stinging nettle. We got really dirty trying to go back and once we got out we pushed the last 3/4 mile back to the hotel. It was a fun run even though a bit messy.

Todays workout was mile repeats.  We did a mile warmup and then 2 laps of speed changes.  Then we did our first mile.  I was supposed to hit a 6:25, but  was having a hard time breathing and hit a 7:04.  Then I did a lap and got some water.  I did the second in 8:03 and then I stopped.  I think it will just take me a few days to get back into running after cross training.

This morning for workout we ran to Sugarhouse Park, did a lap on the road, and then back to the track.  It was 5 miles.  I ran with Bre and it felt like I was running at a faster pace than yesterdays mile repeats. 

The afternoon was 4 miles.  We did a mile warmup, 2 miles of speedchanges, and a mile cooldown.  It was really hot, so after the speedchanges I got some water before the cooldown.  I felt a lot better today than I did yesterday.  I was a bit hungry so I'll have to bring a snack for before the workout next time.

We started with about a mile and a half warmup.  Then we changed shoes and did some strides.  For a while at the beginning of the race I was in 3rd, but I was really dehydrated and my mouth was completely dry.  My calve on my left leg was hurting a lot.  I couldn't breathe for parts of the race and I dropped back a few places.  At the end of the race though I was recovered enough to hold other runners off.  At the end I could hear people cheering for their runner to start a kick so I started mine to make sure she wouldn't pass me.  I caught up to Ashleigh and we finished in the same second.  The other girl didn't pass us.  After the race my calve hurt quite a bit so I took some ibuprofen and I drank a lot of water.

I went biking at Steiner in the evening.  I got about 2.6 miles on a bike and then I switched to a bike with foot straps.  Then I did a sort of fartlek workout with 8 1 minute on 1 minute off.  I got the spedometer up to 27 once.  Afterwards I did a 5 minute cooldown.  I think I got about 7 miles total.

This morning for workout we started with a warmup of the VA loop.  I think that was 3 miles.  Back at the track we did 10 Js.  It felt good to be doing some sort of speed workout again.  Then a lap cooldown was the end of the workout.  My leg didn't hurt because I had some ibuprofen before the workout.

I wore my running shoes at school to see if it would help my shin, and I think it was successful.  This afternoon we went to Libert Park and did 3 laps around.  I got water between laps.  I ran with Bre and Ashleigh.  It was 4.5 miles and my time was about 35 minutes so I was barely at 8 minute pace.

Todays workout was the zoo loop.  I only made it to Sunnyside Park from the track, about half mile, because my calves hurt a lot.  One felt tight and like it was being pinched so I massaged it a bit and tried to keep going but it hurt again.  So I just walked back to the track.  Emily says I'm probably dehydrated.  Later I went to Steiner and biked for 5 miles at a speed of 14-17 mph most of the time.  Then I did a half mile cooldown.

The cross country got to run the torch for the homecoming game.  We did a relay from Olympus High to Sunnyside Park.  It was really fun.  It was way exciting to run into the stadium at halftime with the team.  With my leg of the relay and running to the stadium I think I got about a mile.

We did the Orem meet again this year.  Just like last year, it was raining.  I didn't get a very good warmup, only about a mile.  Then I changed shoes and got in about 2 strides.  Right at the beginning of the race I got really muddy, but it was kind of fun.  I passed people throughout the race, much like I did last year.  I was 12 seconds slower than last year, but I did well considering my calve/shin.
