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

I ran 3 miles.  I'm training my little sister so she can't go that far yet.  We just ran to Sunnyside Park and she waited while I did a lap around the full outside of the park.  My little sister doesn't exactly want to be a distance runner, and she didn't have good running shoes, so maybe when she gets some shoes we can run more.

I ran about 8 miles.  I was doing a speedworkout, and I think I did a pretty good job.  I was at Sugarhouse Park and after our warmup, which was about 2 miles,  we did an 800, 3 400s, and 5 200s.  It was simple... maybe I could get my little sister to come to one of the easier workouts.

I ran 6 miles.  It was very nice weather :) It was a little rainy, but at least it wasn't hot.  I was running with my older brother, but sometimes I get in more mileage than him.  We were running along Foothill, and then I wanted to get more mileage so I ran to our schools track.

I ran 6 miles with a friend.  We live a few streets away, so often we will start running until we meet and then we go somewhere.  I just did the same thing I did yesterday, but instead of going to the track we just ran home because between our houses we got about a mile.

I just went on an easy run today so that I can be rested for my 10k tomorrow.  I''ve never done a 10k before, so we'll see how I do on that.  It was a simple run, just around a few blocks in the neighborhood.

This was my first 10k.  It started at 6 am, but since it was rainy there wasn't very many people there.  It was still fun though.  It was dark when we arrived at the starting line, so I did about a  mile warmup back and forth up the canyon to the line.  When the race started I was able to quickly gain 4th place overall, and 1st female.  Throuhgout the race I could hear people behind me, and at one point when I looked back there was a guy about 10 meters behind me.  I set a goal to not let anyone pass me, and since the race was downhill I changed pace a lot, going faster down the hills.  I had a good time, even though I'm a little cold right now.  I look forward to seeing how I do on a 10k that isn't all downhill.

So today I ran on the treadmill because I didn't feel like going outside, and I had just eaten a candy bar, lol.  I get so bored on the treadmill, so I listened to music, but that can be boring as well, so I lipsynced some of the songs.  That was fun... and at one point I attempted to do the chicken dance.  Haha, that was fun, but I lost my balance.  I had planned to do 6 miles, but the speed on the treadmill keeps changing and it began to go really slow so I decided that it was time to stop.

I was going to run this morning, but I had work, so I was going to go running afterwards.  But then one of my friends called and we hung out for a while and we went swimming, and I am always so tired after swimming.  But I went running anyways, but it was at about 5:30 in the afternoon so it was really hot.  I just ran to Sugarhouse Park from my house and I did 2 laps on the road.  I stopped for water a few times.  On my way back home I ran through some sprinklers and it felt really nice, so that was ok.

Today I did a speedworkout.  It was alright, we started with a lap around the park, and then a mile of speed changes.  Then we did an 800 with 2 laps cooldown, 2 400s with a 1 lap cooldown on each, and then 5 200s.  It was an ok workout.  After that we did 2 laps, and then we worked on hurdles for a steeplechase we might do.

This morning I got up and ran from my house to Sugarhouse Park, and then I did a lap around the outside of the park and came back home.  It was short, but my coach suggested running 4 miles in the morning and 4 at night. 

Later, after dinner, my brother and I met Bre at Sugarhouse Park and we went out for a run to the Wasatch Lawn Cemetery with a few side streets.  The weather was great, it wasn't wet, and it wasn't hot or windy.  It was just great for running.  The run was 7.5 miles, and I hope to get in more days with higher mileage.

I went for a good run this morning.  I met with a Bre again, and we ran a little over 3 laps.  We were both tired from our run last night.  It was cold for the first part of our run.  As we ran the sun was getting warmer so by the end it was getting a bit hot.  It was great weather again, and I think we chose a good time of day to run.

Today I was really tired so I slept in a little bit.  By the time I got up to go running the sun was up, and it was a little hot for running, but I went anyways.  I went from my house to Sugarhouse Park, and I did a lap on the outside and one on the inside and then I wnt back home.  After running I wasn't as tired, and I wish I had gone earlier.

I had a good run this morning.  I was the first female again :)  So I am happy about that.  I don't remember what my time was though.  I was hoping to get a new PR but the course was actually longer than a 10k.  I had planned to do about a 2 mile warmup, but when I was warming up just around a few of the streets near the park where the race was at, I came back to the park to find that it was empty.  The start wa just across the street from the park. I had to hurry and pull off my sweats and I kept running over to the start line.  t started right as I got there, so I didn't get to stop running before going.  I didn't get to get up very close to the line either.  But I didn't have too difficult a time getting up to the front.  Eventually there was few people I could see in front of me, and then I decided to try and pass 10 people.  As I was passing people 3 and 4, one of which was a boy who I think looked about 12, he started fighting me off, and he kept my pace for a while.  I thought that was interesting, but it was cool to actually have some competition.  after a while I sped up and brok ahead of him, but he was close behind for the rest of the race.  There was some distance between me and the person ahead of me, but I was able to figure out my spot in the race from watching people coming from the turnaround point.  My cousin-in-law was in the lead, and there were 2 guys not a long distance behind him (he did win overall though).  After the 3 leaders was my brother, and then another guy, and then I reached the turnaround.  As I headed back down the road some of the other people racing cheered for me.  There were a few points where some people had lined up to cheer with some nice cameras, and I was confuse at first, but it didn't take me long to realize it must be the family of the 12 year old boy behind me.  At the end of the race, I didn't pass anymore people, and nobody passed me.  After the race we went back to our campsite we had stayed at to put our stuff away before we went to the awards ceremony.  There was also a 1/2 marathon and a marathon so the awards were going to be after the other events were done.  So we went back later, and I got a nice award.  It is one of my most interesting, with a lake and some bears by it.  I was so tired after the race.  I think I'm going to go take a nap now, and then I think I'll go running later.

In the evening I went running with my little sister.  We were going to go from our house to Sugarhouse Park and do some laps, but she was too tired so we went a few blocks and then went back home, so it was only 1 mile.

I was going to go running this evening, but I was with family and we were having a lot of fun playing tag and other games.  I lost track of the time and when I came home it was too late to go running, so I had to do treadmill.  It was really boring as usual, and it kept slowing down again.  So I only went 2 miles, but its better than nothing.

This morning I got up early and went running with some of my neighbors.  I don't remember the exact course, but we were running on nonbusy streets.  We ran up to the country club and back.  It was a good temperature for running so that was nice.

So tonight I did a speed workout at Sugarhouse Park.  We started with a 2 mile warmup and then did a mile speedchanges on Highlands track.  The workout wasn' that bad, we were doing 5 sets of a 400 with 1 lap recovery, 200 with 200m recovery, and a 100 with a 300m recovery.  We stopped at the hose a few times because it was really hot.  We had to splash ourselves a few times.  At the beginning Bre got a bloody nose so she ran with it for a few sets, but then she was ok.  We weren't timing the 200s or 100s, but my best time I got on the 400 was a 1:18.  Afterwards we did a 2 mile cooldown around the outside of the park.  I felt pretty strong, and I think I have been showing improvement in the last few weeks.  A few weeks ago I was hitting 1:30s on my 400s so I'm proud of my times I've been getting.

Todays run was fun.  It was the first day of our high school cross country summer workouts.  It was an easy enough run, and it was cool to be running with people that I haven't run with in a long time.  We did a 2 mile warmup around the perimeter of Sugarhouse Park, and when we came back we stretched and did some strides.  After that we did some drills, starting with high knees a few times, then butt kicks, and then we did one where we stepped sideways over an imaginary wall.  After that we went and did crunches and pushups in the grass.  We did a set of 25 crunches and then 15 pushups, and we did this 3 times.  When we were done we were covered in wet grass so it was hard to get it off.  Then for a cooldown we just did a lap on the road and Bre and me ran through the sprinklers and got really wet, but at least the grass came off.  When we finished Bre, Amanda, and I went to the river to take an ice bath. The water levels were really low, so we were kneeling in the river.  When we were done there were spots on our knees where we had our knees on rocks.  The water was very cold so It felt nice.  It was a fun workout, and I look forward to the rest of the summer.

This evening I ran from my house to what we call the VA loop.  The loop is 4 miles I think, but I wanted to get in more miles.  So running back and forth from my house was a mile, but before I did the halfmile back to my house I ran to East's track and did a mile there.  I think I picked a good time to run, because it wasn't too hot, and it wasn't too dark.  But when I was running my stomach hurt really bad and I think it was because I had milk with my dinner.  I didn't think it would be a problem since I waited a few hours after dinner to run, but it really hurt.  I think it hurt most right at the tops of hills starting to go down.  It hurt really bad and I wanted to stop, but I didn't.  Luckily it only hurt really bad in the lst 1/2 mile so I didn't have to stop.  But when I got home I was a little sick.  Other than my stomach hurting it was a good run.

I had to get up and run earlier today because I had plans for later.  I started running a little before 6:30, and then I met my team at Sugarhouse Park.  I didn't do the workout with them as I needed to get back to my house.  So my run was just going to Sugarhouse, doing 2 laps on the road, and coming back.  I was very dehydrated so I had to stop for water a lot.

Today was the start of the Wasatch Back Relay.  I had leg 8, and it was easy enough.  It was getting dark right as I needed to start so I had to wear a vest and a headlamp, but it wasn't that bad.  Then I realized that the runner I was supposed to be getting the baton from was coming up to the line, so I was a few seconds late in getting there.  In my rush, I forgot to get my watch, so I don't know what my time was.

The relay continued today.  After we were all done with our first legs, we went to the rest station, and bought some spaghetti.  It was good, and it satisfied my hunger needs.  Then we were all trying to sleep in the car, but it was a bit tight of space.  I didn't get to sleep before it was time to do the second leg, but I think I still had a bit of energy.  The second leg i ran was 20, which is 7 miles downhill.  It was about 3am when I started, so I definately needed the vest and headlamp this time.  I've never been on a night run, so this was a neat experience for me.  It was cold though, and I was wearing a lot of clothing.  I had some tights over spandex, and I also had a tanktop, t-shirt, and a long running shirt, and some gloves.  Eventually it became a little warm for the gloves so I just took them off and carried them.  I had my watch this time, my time was about 57 minutes. 

After the 2nd leg, I was able to get some sleep.  I got a few hours, and that felt nice after not getting any.  My third leg was leg 32, 6.1 miles long with a slight uphill at the end.  I was really tired so I wasn't going very fast, and it was hot so there were lots of people doing water statinos for their teammates, and there were people sspraying us with water which felt nice.  I passed 20 people on this leg, and I was only passed by two very fast guys.  I don't think there was a 1 mile to go sign, so it was over sooner than I had expected, but that was ok.  The whole relay was fun, and Bre and me got some good pictures.  Most of all, we had a good time and I hope to do this race again next year.

I ran a total of 16.5 miles in the relay, and I think thats the most miles I've ever run within 24 hours.

Today I did laundry because I had to wash a bunch of my running clothes because I had used them in Wasatch Back.  So this evening I ran on the treadmill, and again it kept slowing down.  This time to keep entertained, my little sister read a Junie B. Jones book to me.  It was still boring, but I was able to focus more on trying to make the treadmill go faster.

This morning we did a workout starting at Sugarhouse Park.  We ran up 2100s up by Kmart, adn then we went through the parking lot and a little bit north so that we could cross Foothill Drive at the light.  Then we were running along a trail and we crossed some bridges and there were many changes in uphills and downhills.  We eventually ended up taking a trail that led us to Tanner Park, and we waited for some other runners in our group to catch up.  Then we got water at the park and ran back to Sugarhouse.  After the workout, Bre, Amanda, and I went and took an ice bath in the river.  It was cold and we were hurting our knees kneeling on the rocks, so we didn't stay in long.  Next time, we'll bring a yoga mat or something to kneel on.

Today we had a team workout at Sugarhouse Park. We started with a warmup lap around the perimeter of the park. Then we stretched and did some drills. The drills were new to us, and I think that they could be useful. We started with 20 seconds where we jump down, out, in, and up. After that we sprint for 100 meters and did 20 seconds of jumping jacks, and then another 100 meters, and then 20 seconds of crouches, and then 100 meters, and then mountain climbers, and then 100 meters. I did ok through most of it, but doing the 100 meters after the mountain climbers made me tired. We did this drill twice, and then we went and did a cooldown lap around the perimeter. This workout was 5 miles.

This evening I went to a speedworkout with Wasatch Athletics.  We were having an East team meeting, so we started late, and then for the warmup, Amanda, Bill, Braden, and I started running around the perimeter backwards.  Then we decided to play a joke on the other people on the team by when we ran into them, telling them that the coach said we were doing fartleks and that we needed to go the other way, so they should join us.  Eventually we had all of the other people on the team going to wrong way.  It was funny, but then so as not to make them go around again (they were almost done with their warmup lap) we cut through the center of the park and then everyone was confused.  Then to return to the track we came from the opposite direction we usually come in at.  For the actual workout part, we started with a mile of speedchanges on the track.  Since we had already done 5 miles in the morning and some drills, we only had to do three 800s.  It had been a while since I'd done them, so I didn't expect to get too fast of times, but I did ok I think. My time on the first was 3:12, the second was 3:16, and the third was 3:00.  Between each we had a lap cooldown.  We were very tired so for our cooldown we ran along the stream to the pond, around the pond, and back along the stream.  During this workout my hips were hurting a bit.  They had been hurting a few months ago because one of my legs was growing and the other one wasn't.  I think it was hurting for the same reason.  This time I think I might go see a chiropractor about it, last time I didn't want to because it was during the track season.  After the workout we went to Baskin Robins and got Oreo Sundaes, and those were good... a nice reminder to ice my hips where they hurt.

This morning we had a team wrokout that started from Sugarhouse Park.  We ran along 1500e. over to Bonneview Dr. and went up there to give us a bit of a hill.  We ran along Guardsman over to the light at 500s. and then ran back the same way up to the park, where we entered and did a lap on the road.  It wasn't too hot until we were arriving back at the park.  When we were done running we did some ab workouts and some pushups.

Today we had practice at Sugarhouse Park again. We started with a warmup lap around the perimeter, and then we ran just across the crosswalk at 1500e. entrance. There we started intervals, we did ten sets of hard for 1 minute, and then relaxed for 1 minute. During the intervals, I made it around once and then I was about halfway through a second lap when we reached the tenth interval. So I just finished my lap. Then we went to one of the terraces and did some drills. First we did some step ups with high knees, 1 minute on and one minute off. Then we went on the grass and jumped as far as we could with both of our feet. Those were a little confusing. and tiring, so we only did one set of those. Then we did some lunges, followed by two sets of 45seconds wallsits. On my first set, there was an outlet or something at my back and that gave me a bit of support so it wasn't that hard, so I moved for the second set and it was much harder. After these, we did a set of 25 crunches and 15 pushups, three times. On my last set of pushups I decided to try putting in a few regular pushups, and I made it to six. Then I did a few more girl pushups, and then one more regular.

This afternoon I got new running shoes.  I had the Mizuno wave rider 11 (I think thats the one) and they were worn out and had been hurting my toes and my heels.  So it was time for new shoes.  I went to Wasatch Running Co. on State Street in Sandy.  I tried on four pairs of shoes and then wasn't sure whether to get the same ones again, or the Saucony ride.  I had a pair of Sauconys before I got my Mizunos, so I tried them on the treadmill for a minute.  It seemed like my foot with the Mizuno on it was sending pain up my leg.  So I tried on both the Suaconys and when i got on the treadmill, the pain that had been in my leg went away.  So I got the Sauconys.  To test them, when I got home I had to go run on the treadmill to make sure that they were going to be ok for my feet.  I took my mp3 player and went down to the treadmill.  I didn't even get bored on this treadmill run, I was really satisfied with my new shoes.  And something I discovered about the treadmill kept me wondering for a while... when I looked down at the treadmill when I was running, the speed went up.  So the treadmill wasn't  boring and slow, and I ran 4 miles easily and comfortably.

This morning we had a team workout at Sugarhouse Park again.  We kept it simple today, just two laps around the park.  I did two laps with Bre and then because I need more mileage this week, I went for a third.  When I got back I did my sets of crunches and pushups, and on the pushups I decided to see how many regular I could do.  In all of my sets I only did 5 girl pushups.  I also tried some leg lifts, and they were hard.  But I think I might try to get those in as a regular part of my workout and then I'll do more and more each day.  My new running shoes were great, my feet didn't hurt at all.

I heard about this race a few days ago, and I decided it would be fun. We showed up a little early so that we could register. Then I ran about a mile warmup. After that, closer to the start, Bre and I did some strides. I didn't miss the start this time, for once. But the start was a few minutes late. When we finally got started, I decided to try and keep up with Bre. It was hard, but after about the first mile it seemed a little easier to keep the pace going. We were in the third and fourth positions for a while, and were only passed by two guys. At the point when there was a turn to the east, there was a slight uphill, and I passed Bre. I knew she wasn't far behind me though. Then, getting closer to the end I could hear someone behind me, and for a little while I thought it might be Bre, but then as the person came closer realized it wasn't. So the guy ended up passing me, but then when I saw that Bill was finished, and because he had been almost within sight near the end I realized how close I was to the finish and I took off. So I gained back 5th place and finished the race. Bill says it was .06 miles long, so I probably got a PR, but I don't know what it would be. I was really tired afterwards, but I had a great race.

I felt a bit dizzy when I was done, so I took a nap when I got home. When I woke up I had a headache. Because I was dizzy and had a headache I decided to stay home and run on the treadmill. I had my little sister read children's books to me, and that way I was able to try and keep the speed on the treadmill up. I found that it was scraping or something on the left side where I was stepping, so I tried to run more on the right side of the treadmill. By doing this I was able to keep it at a pretty decent pace. I did 4 miles at about a 9 minute pace. My first mile was at 8:48, and I was finished at 36:30. When I was done I was really hot so my sister and I had a water fight to get cooled down.

I knew I wouldn't have time to run later, so I just did 4 miles on the treadmill.  I knew it was hot outside so I didn't want to go run.  I guess it probably wouldn't have made a difference because it was so hot running on the treadmill anyway.  But it I had gone out side I could have been sunburned.  I was a little bored, but I just listened to music.

This morning we met at Sugarhouse Park again, and we ran out to the cemetery, with a few loops down some streets on the way. I was running with Bre, but on the first part of the loop there was a slight downhill and it was a bit hard for me, so I slowed down a bit. Bre got ahead, so after we turned from the downhill I worked on catching up. At one point we were running by one of the speed signs that tells cars how fast they are going, and it picked us up at 7mph. Once at 3300s., went east a bit and then stopped for water. We didn't do the loop through the cemetery, but we headed back to the park with Ashleigh. That part of the run was 5.6 miles. When we got back to the park we got some water and then did the circuit with the sprints between burpees, jumping jacks, squats, and mountain climbers. I did better at the mountain climbers this time, I wasn't as worn out afterwards. We did the circuit twice. I think we're going to have a great season.

For my evening run, my little sister wanted to come, so our dad took us to Sugarhouse Park, and my sister did laps on the road while I ran two laps on the perimeter of the park.  I ran through two sprinklers.  It wasn't very hot so that was good.
