Today we ran 2 laps warm up and a mile of speed changes. Then we did an 800, and I stuck to Natalie up until the last 200, where the wind picked up and it was really hard to fight it. I hit a 2:51 then we did 4 minutes of standing recovery. Then we did 2 sets of 400, 300, 200 with standing recovery. My first 400 was 1:23, then we walked to the 300 line and I hit a 57. For the 200 I hit a 38 and then we walked to the 400 start. My next set was faster, 1:20, 56, and 37. We did a mile cool down and I took my shoes off. Then we did an ice bath, and instead of the usual 2 buckets of ice we did 3, so it was really, really, REALLY cold!!! Luckily my quads felt great and it was only my calves that needed it, so I stood for 10 minutes with Tomy and Sargent. The whole time I screamed and clung onto people, which probably annoyed everybody but it got me through it so whatever teehee. It was the coldest thing ever.

Regions today. When we got there we put our stuff under our tree to stay dry, and since the varsity races weren't for another 2 hours, we were forced to stay under the tree and huddle up to keep warm. When it was getting closer to our race, we warmed up by going around the complex and cheering on our JV Boys, who did a great job! And congrats to our JV Girls! After warming up for about a mile and a half, we changed our shoes then one of the officials or timers or whoever came over and told us the race was waiting on us, so we strode over to the line really fast and then didn't have time to do our prayer and cheer, which really bummed us out. The start was great, because there aren't very many people in our region so it wasn't crowded. I was able to go out hard with Natalie. A couple of Woods Cross girls stuck with us for the first half mile, but we broke off. At the mile one of them tried to pass us, but she fell away and all that was on my mind was "Go with Natalie, gap with Natalie." so I did. When we turned the final corner going down to the final kick, I saw Sarah was in third and there was a pack of Woods Cross behind her, so I screamed "Go Sarah!" and kicked it in. I finished in 19:20 right behind Natalie. After getting out of the chute and giving hugs, we went to see our final team score of 35, and to our disappointment, we didn't get our third year in a row streak as planned. :'( After putting up with all the congrats, I had to walk away and let it all out. I put my sweats back on and walked around to cheer on our Varsity Boys, who we really needed to make it to state instead of sitting out for three years in a row. When our fifth boy crossed the line we all looked at his card, and indeed our boys had made it, so good job boys! We went to the awards, congratulations to Natalie, Sarah, Scotty, and Tomy, medalists! Congratulations to everybody, we're going to do awesome at state in two weeks! After awards, we went to clean up the course, so Maggie, Patrick and I put on our orange cone hats and I went on a quick cool down to get to 5 miles for the day and make it onto the bus in time to go. After I went to The Pie with Scotty, Nelson, Maclean, Blake, and Becca to celebrate. Good job everybody!

Today we had to go on our own runs, so I was able to go shopping right after school. By the time I got home it was about 5:30, so at about 6:15 is when I started my run. I ran from my house along 14th east to 13th south, up to 18th east, over to Sunnyside Ave, up to Foothill, over on 5th south down to 13th east, and in front of the school. I was going to go on 13th until I got to 9th south, and I still needed 2 more miles, so I spontaneously decided to go up 9th south to 17th east, over to Emerson, back to 13th south, and down 13th south to my house. Now I'm off to eat.

Today we met in the commons because of the coldness. We ran down to Liberty Park for Fartlek, and we went straight to the drinking fountain without the extra lap today. We all got some water and quick stretching before jogging over to the bottom of our ridge hill. We were going to do a ladder, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 2 off, 1 on, and 1 off, and we were going to do that set 3 times. I started out strong and tried to stay as close to Natalie and Bill as possible. At the start of the second set is where I started to really feel the pain. I stayed strong through it and pushed. On the last 1 on, Tomy caught me and told me to go with him, so I pushed really hard to just be done. We finished our last 1 off right at the tree we had started at and the team regrouped for cooldown. We ran up 9th south until we got to the bottom of the very steep hill, then we were allowed to walk up it. Then Natalie drove Livi and I home and we had a pink party because the three of us had on long sleeved pinks. Heehee.

Later at halftime in our homecoming game against Bountiful, we met at the equipment room to build a torch. We ran up Sunnyside a bit to light it, and Scotty carried into the stadium. We were going to do another lap so Scotty, Natalie, and Blake could all carry it, but then the Skyline shirt we had used to light fell off and was dangling by one wire, and Scotty sprinted to the E to light it. But then the clump of burning t-shirt fell on the grass just below the E, and we all watched Scotty put it back on and light his portion of the torch. It was really fun!

This morning I met up with Natalie and Amanda to go running. We were going to meet Ben and Tomy at the circle at the track, but when neither of them showed up we assumed they weren't coming so we just started. We ran down to 13th east, where we ran to South Temple, and down to the Temple. We ran around the block and admired it, then came back up South Temple, I didn't really think about the uphill when I suggested we run to the temple. Instead of going back on 13th east, we ran up another block. As we ran by President's circle talking about the Jon Schmidt concert, we decided to run up through the campus behind Rice Eccles Stadium so we could go back along Guardsmin. There were Utes everywhere because of the football game against Arizona State. When we got back we had to do another lap around the track, where Eliza was setting her world record for longest wheelie in a wheelchair, you can check that out on guinnes world records or however it's spelled. It was a great run and we kept a pretty even pace the whole time, going a little slower and easier coming up South Temple. Good job to the football team last night for beating Bountiful!

Today was speed. We met up at the track and did a mile warm up and a mile speed changes. After that we did a timed mile, 800, another mile, and another 800. My first mile was a 5:54, I had stayed close to Natalie and Bill, behind them so I could get wind to my back along one stretch and draft on the other side of the track. We ran a lap recovery and stood for a minute before doing the first 800. I hit a 2:57. We did standing recovery, then the second mile. I hit a 6:15 this time, I started out too fast and the wind really got to me and it was tough. I decided that since the last 800 was the last one I could do it. After the second mile we ran a lap and stood for a minute recovering before the final 800. The first lap I kept up with Natalie and Bill, and our split was 1:23, which was really fast. I died out on the last 300, but I stayed strong as I could and finished with a 2:54. We did a mile and a half cool down to be at 7 for the day, so 3 grass laps. It was a tough workout, great weather but terrible wind.

Today was just a long run. We did our Thunderbird run. We went up Sunnyside to Wasatch Blvd, and over on Wasatch Drive to Thunderbird. At the drinking fountain I was so excited to finally get water, but to my disappointment it was turned off. I ran back along Foothill to 13th south, down to 19th east, over to Sunnyside, and back down to the track. I started out great with Natalie, Gavin, and Sam, but on Wasatch Drive is when I fell back from Natalie and started to feel sick. I don't think I had enough lunch today, and I know I didn't have enough water throughout the day. Coming back along Foothill, Gavin, Sam, and Caden caught me and passed me, then while they cut through the Dans parking lot I stayed on the sidewalk. Then they got lost going down 13th south, haha suckers. I just focused on getting back to the track for the rest of the run. When I got there I did 10 100 meter strides on the track and was finally able to go home.

Today wasn't hard or anything, but I was just having a tough time. We ran up Sunnyside to Guardsmin, over to 5th south, down to the cemetery, and in to the long hill. We then did that 10 times, and I don't know why it was so hard, because it wasn't. It felt like someone had stabbed my right kidney with a billion needles then squished it into a knot. It hurt really bad. When I was finally done I ran back to the school along 13th east with Olivia and Maggie. I'm just so glad to be done...
Happy Birthday Maggie and Dakota!

Today for workout was speed. The soccer team was playing Hillcrest for the quarter finals, and the JV Football team was playing Highland. Go leopards! For our workout we started with a mile warm up and a mile speed changes. After that we ran a lap as a team and Bill talked about state a little bit. After that we did 6 800s. I stayed pretty consistent on my times, all of my splits were 85, and my fastest 800 was a 2:50 and the slowest 2:54. We took a 4 minute standing recovery for each one. We did 2 grass laps for cool down to finish at 6 for the day. Now I'm off to Salt Lake Running Co. to see if they have my new shoes :)

Today we just did the fire station run but the 3 mile mark came a lot sooner than the fire station so we just turned around there. The only thing I don't like about that run is the first 2.5 miles are uphill, then it's flat for a mile so I was worn out from the hills, and then the way back hurts because it just does. Tonight football plays Highland, go EAST HIGH LEOPARDS!

Today after helping my ward wash cars I went to a speed workout. We were a small group, just Natalie, Sargent, Annie, Livi, Maggie, and I. We did a mile warm up, a mile speed changes then stretched for a minute or so. We then did 6 400s and 6 200s with standing recovery. The first 400 I went all out with Natalie and Annie, and we hit a 76. After that Bill mentioned to us that we were supposed to be hitting other times, me between an 83 and 85. Ha. Ha. Ha. Then on the next 5 400s I hit 82, 83, 83, 84, 84. Then for 200s we were just supposed to open up our stride a little, I opened mine up a little too much. I got 37s and 38s. We did 2 grass laps cool down.

Today was easy. State is in 2 days! Crazy! We ran up Sunnyside to Guardsmin, over to 5th south, down for a lap in the cemetery, and back along 13th east. Then we had a short sweats discussion.

State today. When we got there the girls took a POTTY break and our own roll of toilet paper. We then did a warm up and we went along the road on the grass up to the Sego Lily Pavilion and then turned around and went back to change our shoes and have our Pixi Stix. Then we went to the line for check in to box 11. We did several strides and then said our prayer and cheer and did more strides. I think that was the most energetic our cheer has ever been, Natalie, Annie, Maggie, Becca, Olivia, and Sarah Sa. When we started I had been hoping to go out hard with Natalie, but then I got boxed in and people kept cutting me off and elbowing me. Especially the Skyline girls, so I started to use my elbows to get back. When we were up top by the road at 21st south, I got shoved into one of the dirt piles, so when I came back on course I sped up to get away from the freaks that wouldn't stop touching me. I spend the next half mile getting away from the over-competitive jerks who were slow and unsportsmanlike, ugh it was so annoying! Once I got up our hill we do 400s on for practice, I felt like dying. My stomach felt like it was just squeezing itself in, not my abs, my stomach, the little thing inside of me that digests food. I kept myself strong and in position, passing a few people. Once I got to the point where I only had half a mile left, speed change. I wanted to pass the pack of 20 girls in front of me. I passed between 5-10 people and only had about 300 left to go when I felt the true pain. I couldn't breathe, my stomach felt really tight, and my legs weighed a ton. I tried to work up my kick once I got to the track, but instead 5 girls passed me and everyone got away from me. It was horrifying. After I got away from people I changed back into my trainers and jogged around cheering on the boys and socializing with my friends from other teams. It wasn't quite a mile, but the strides before the awful race took the mileage up a bit, so I'm just going to count it as a mile cooldown and strides. Now I really need to charge my Garmin...

I went running with Susannah. We ran from our house up to 15th east over to Harvard up to 17th and over to 9th south. I was really hurting and just so sore, we ran back the same way which was exactly 2 miles total. I hopped on Susannah's bike and we went up to her locker room at the U and back home. It was 5 miles on the bike so I'm putting it as 1 more mile running, but barefoot. I am so sore... End of season... Why do you hurt me so much?

Today we met in the commons and had a meeting about training for Footlocker. The only downside of XC after state is how few people actually come train for Footlocker :( I miss everyone! Y'alls should come to practice! We split the run into 3 parts, a short run, a medium run, and the longest run. I did the longest run with Annie, Sam, Bill, Chris, Sarah Sa, and Dakota. We ran a lap around the block which was about half mile then went along 13th east to 21st south, down to 9th east, over to 9th south, up to the school, another block around the school, and a lap around the grass and parking lot in the back. We stayed as a group for the first 2.5 miles, then we all sort of chained off. I stayed with Sam and Bill, and right after we passed Sam's house Sam got ahead and Annie caught up. When we got to the hill after 9th and 9th, Bill encouraged Annie and I to go hard up the hill. I did ok until about 75% of the way up, then I couldn't do it anymore. Finally at the top, I went up to 13th east and over to 8th south down to 12th east and up into the teacher lot. I stopped by Bill's car but we still had just over a quarter mile to add so we ran over to the softball field and came back to the parking lot, did a lap in the parking lot, and went back to the car.

Today we met in the commons again. We went to the weight room and did 3 sets of leg lifts, wall sits, planks, balance (aka push one another over), arm swings, squats with the bars, and lunges in the hall. Then we ran along 13th east to Sugarhouse to our loop hill, did 6 of those, a grass lap, 6 more loop hills, and back along 13th east. I felt pretty good on the way there and kept up with the group, and my first set of 6 loops was alright, but on the grass loop I lost it and when I got to the bottom of the hill I was surprised people waited for me. We did 6 more, I was still behind but I gave it the rest of my energy and saw Caden practicing on XC Skis. Running back I tried to keep up, but instead Dakota, Sarah Sa and I fell back and got stuck at every light. I did a lap in the teacher parking lot to finish up my miles for the day and went home.

Today was just a long run. We ran up 9th south to Foothill, over to Sunnyside, up to the Shoreline trailhead, and ran along there to Red Butte. We ran up the road to the fence, back down the road, through the housing area at the U to Legacy Bridge, down through West Hyper by the Huntsman center, past the institute building, down 5th south to Guardsmin, over to 8th south, across Amanda Ave, and down 9th south to the teacher parking lot. We stayed as a group up until we got to the trailhead, where I became weak and the soreness kicked in. I ran up the trail and when I reached the part where there were no more bad uphills, Sarah Sa caught up to me and we ran together. The construction is finally finished, so we didn't have to run down to the road and back up around the construction, we could just run threw the new path and we saw a brand new drinking fountain and it was nice because the water was freezing cold. When we started running up the road behind the Red Butte amphitheater, we saw Natalie and our chemistry student teacher, I can't remember his name. Just before the yellow gate we saw Bill, and shortly after we saw the rest of the boys. We stretched at the fence for a minute before turning around. It was downhill from there so I felt like an 8 minute pace would be good. I just didn't want Sarah to get lost. We ran through the housing area, but I'm not exactly sure what wrong way we went, but somehow we came out on the road above the frisbee golf course and the bridge was to our left quite a ways, plus we had to run around construction. We ran across the bridge and down, then the construction made me upset. We had to go up by the trax station and then down through the West Hyper parking lot just east of the Huntsman center. I started to pick up my pace because I was to the point where I felt really sick and worn out that I just wanted to be done. We got down to Guardsmin and then down 8th south on Amanda Ave, down 9th south to the light. I barely made it and Sarah barely missed it. It was a good run to get over with, I'm not sure why it had to hurt so bad but now that I'm all curled up in my sweats with my Halloween Lofthouse cookies I feel better. Naptime!

Happy Halloween! Today we ran along 13th east to 21st south, through the adventure way and to Fairmont Park. We ran as a group the whole way there, and Savannah's little 8th grade sister Emma came to run and she's gonna be good if she sticks with it. We did 10 strides at the park, then ran to along 9th east to 13th south, up to 11th east, over to 9th south, and up the hill. It was a pretty good workout for me considering I haven't ran in 4 days...
