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 went on an easy 2 mile run in the evening at about 7 pm.  I ran along 1500e to Sunnyside Park and I did a lap there and then went back.  I know that in the park it was a mile but I'm not sure long it was to and from the park because gmaps-pedometer.com was being weird.  I think its a mile though.

We met at Sugarhouse Park this morning.  There were a few more people than last week which was cool.  We started with a 2 mile warmup around the outside of the park, and then we did the circuit once, doing each of the drills for 20 seconds.  I didn't get as tired on the mountain climbers as I usually do :)  Then we did five 1000s along the state course.  We ran from by the road on the north side of the river to the bridge and across, then around the pond and halfway through a field.  I lost a bit of my warmup after the circuit, so my first one was a 4:15.  I was supposed to hit between 3:55 and 4:05.  On the second I got 4:06, 3:53 on the third, 3:56 for the fourth, and 4:00 on the last one.  I felt strong and I think the workout will help me in my next 5k.  Afterwards we did a 2 mile cooldown around the park and then did 3 sets of 25 crunches and 15 pushups, and then when I got home I did 3 sets o f1 minute on 1 minute off arm swings.

This morning we met at the Shorline Trail by the zoo. We ran on the Shoreline Trail to Red Butte and then up a road to a chain link fence. I ran with Bre and Mary and RJ wasn't too far ahead of us. On the way back we saw a tarantula on the trail. It was scary looking. When we were finished with the run we did 3 sets of 25 crunches and 15 pushups. We also did 3 sets of 30 second leg lifts, 1 minute wall sits, and 1 minute stepups. It was a good workout and I felt really strong today.

This evening I did my last speedwork at Sugarhouse until after the season.  We met at Sugarhouse Park and started with a lap around the park.  Then we did a 3 laps speed changes with a lap cooldown.  Then we did a mile, I hit a 6:07, and then 2 laps cooldown.  Then we did another 3 laps speed changes and a lap cooldown.  It felt really relaxing, but I've been getting a shin splint.  So when I got home I sat with my shins in a bucket of ice for 20 minutes.

This morning we had a cross country team hike. We met at 6:30am and then we drove up to the trail for Desolation Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon. We hike about 6 miles to Desolation Lake, and then we had lunch. A few of us stood with our shoes off in the lake and it was a little cold so it felt good. Then we went 4 miles to where we had left some of the cars to drive back up to the rest of the cars. We didn't run the hike, so I just halved the miles. It was really fun.

For the evening I went from my house along 1300e to 900s and down to 900e and across to 2100s and then up to 1300e again and then home.  I started a bit late and it got dark fast.  I'm getting a shin splint I think from my shoes, and it hurt really bad so I iced it when I got home.

We met at Liberty Park for practice today. We started with a lap around the park for warmup. My hips were really sore from the hike yesterday. After the warmup we split into groups and did 2 laps of fireman line where the person in the back pushes to get in the front. I was in group 2, and we were supposed to finish in 21 minutes and 15 seconds or under. We finished at 20:50. Then we did a lap cooldown and then 3 sets of 25 crunches and 15 pushups. My shin didn't hurt today, which was good because it was hurting really bad last night.

I got an earlier start this evening.  I ran from my house to 1500e and then I ran to Sunnyside Avenue and up to Foothill Boulevard.  Along Sunnyside I saw a small bunny, and it was really cute.  I ran down Foothill and 500s, and then down to 1300e..  As I was passing the cemetery on 500s I saw 6 deer, I think 2 were baby deer.  That was cool.  I ran back to my house along 1300e and then I stopped in for some water and then I was going to go another mile and a half, but I only went a mile, going a few blocks out and back.  That was a mile.  I felt a little sick so I couldn't continue, but I feel ok now.  My shin didn't hurt very much.

I stayed up late last night, and this morning there wasn't team practice, so I slept in until about 7:30.  Then I got up and went running.  I ran to Sugarhouse Park, and did a lap on the outside.  When I was about to start my second lap Bre was at the park too.  So we ran 2 laps together.  Then we ran to my house.  Bre had seen Amanda while on the way to the park, and on the way to my house we saw Amanda's dad heading to the park, and later my brother heading to the park.  It was a nice day to run at Sugarhouse Park I guess.  I felt much better than I did last night.  I hope I have a good race tomorrow.

The race was in Murray and it started at 9, so I had time to sleep in. I got there and I did 2 miles of warmup on the track. Then I changed my shoes and did some strides. I got to use my flats again. I started out behind a lead group of guys, and they got far ahead of me. No one came near passing me so I kept the same spot all race. I didn't push very hard either. My first mile was at 6:30, mile 2 was at 13:30. I think I went slower because it was hot. I was 7th overall, but I was the first female. Afterwards I took off my flats and then I didn't feel like putting my running shoes on so I did a mile cooldown on the track barefoot. It was a good race, and afterwards we went to a breakfast provided by the police and fire department which was right by the race.
