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

Make it to Footlocker National Championships 

Make it to nationals 

Run sub 16:30 5k

Run sub 9:30 3k 

Break the school record in the 10k

Break the school record in the 5k

I ran for my first time in 2 weeks today!!! I'm pretty excited because my shin didn't hurt at all :D  I started with about a 2 mile warmup, and then I changed shoes.  I wasn't sure that I should wear my flats in case I reinjured it but it was all right.  I got a fast start and switched places with people only a few times.  My shoe came untied in the first mile so it was loose the rest of the time.  It was ok until the end when I was in my kick because my shoe was falling off.  But I got a PR!!!  I'm going to build my mileage sorta slow to make sure my shin is ok.

I did 2 miles on the treadmill today.  I listened to the radio to stay entertained.  My calves were really sore from yesterday, but after the run they don't hurt as much.

Today I did 3 miles on a treadmill at Steiner.  It took a few minutes for my calves to warmup but they were ok.  I was planning on doing 4 miles but when I accidentally broke my mp3 player at 2.5 miles it was boring..  But 3 miles isn't bad.  Afterwards Amanda, Bre, and I went into the weights room and did arms and abs and other stuff.

Speed workout at the oval.  I started with a mile warmup and a mile speedchanges.  Then I changed to my flats and did an 800 with a lap recovery.  My time was 2:53, which was better than I expected to do.  Then I did two 400s with equal recovery.  My first was a 1:19 and my second a 1:15.  Then I did four 200s and changed to my other shoes.  I did a mile cooldown.

I did a 2.5 mile warmup and then I changed my shoes to my spikes.  I did some strides.  I started kind of back but I worked my way up to the front.  It was kind of hard when the gravel on the course wasn't as firm in some areas.  I had a good race and I'm glad.

Tonight I went to the Oympic Oval for a speedworkout.  I started with 8 laps warmup and then 4 laps speedchanges with a lap recovery.  Then I did a mile, my time was 6:06, with 2 laps recovery.  Then I did three 400s, 2 with a lap recovery, but after the third my calves were hurting so I did 4 laps cooldown.  I think I just need to get my miles back up, this is the longest run I've done in a while.

Today I ran from my house to Sugarhouse Park, did a lap around the outside, and went back home.  There, 1.2 miles, my time was 9:20, then the 2 miles in the park 15:40, and back home 9:20 again.  I'm glad I kept a nice pace.

We continued the relay this morning. We had more people this time, and near the end of shift realized that we could possibly tie the highest number of mile in a shift. My left hip was hurting in my 4th mile so at one point I turned around. I ran my 5th the opposite way as well. I had problems with my hip last year on the track because of all the lefts and my leg was growing. I think its happening again, and it's making my knee hurt.

I ran from my house to Sugarhouse Park, did a lap on the outside, and came back.  I got to use my reflective vest for the first time :)  I had a good pace because my time was about 33 minutes total.  My hip was hurting a little bit, but my knee wasn't hurting from Saturday which was good.

 I started with a 2 mile warmup around the capitol a few times.  Then I changed to my flats and went to the line.  I had a good start, maybe a bit fast.  Or just tiring since the first half was uphill.  I started out as the first girl, and then a girl was passing me and I tried to keep up with her for a bit but she was going a bit fast and I decided to wait and see if she dropped back.  I passed my brother when trying to stay with the other girl.  I finished ahead of my brother, but he had been sick and not been running otherwise I'm sure I wouldn't have.  On the downhill I started as 2nd and I worked up until I could see her not too far ahead,  but then another girl passed me and when she caught up to the other girl they both pushed harder.  But I finished in 3rd and am satisfied with the results.  The girl I tried to keep with at the beginning runs for the U and I talekd to her a bit afterwards.  As a small cooldown I ran back up a little bit to find my sister and cheer her on.  It was a fun race.

Today I ran from my house and along 1300e to 900s where I dropped down to 900e and then over to 2100s and back up to 13th and home.  While on 9th east I saw a line of police cars and firetrucks and I stopped to watch.  Good run today, I kept a good pace.
