Dixie invite (0.25 Miles) 00:01:06 | | Good news I got bribed into blogging again!! Had the Dixie invite today & I ran the 400. I just tried to take quick steps cause that's what coach was yelling the whole darn time & I think it helped. SO excited for the 800 tomorrow. & I don't even know what the heck my total miles was so I didn't put anything. The end.
| |
| | AM- easy 30 with jushbush & el bel. Honestly, I don't know how I got friends with such weird names.
PM- 3x1000s with 2x300. We only did 10 minutes warm cause we didn't know we had 60 minutes instead of 45... But we got back on the track and had a solid 3 thousands. I didn't hit my times but I improved every one & thought it each one was a really good push. The 300s were rough, per the norm, my times were 53 & 52 I think. 20 minutes cool with Josie & we got delicious ice at harts.
| |
| | AM- just 30 easy with josie & carli.
PM- 1 mile warm with 8x200 (decreasing recovery) and like 1.5 cool. These were hard for me to try & be mentally strong cause the last 100 I always wanna give up but I think I pushed pretty hard. Every one was in the 32-35 range which is right where I wanted to be so that's good. Running with meskerem on these is hard cause she's so speedy at sprinting, but it was a solid workout I think.
| |
| | AM- 30 easy & we went very slow because all of our legs were very tired that's why.
PM- 50 easy with striders. We also went quite slow on this one & we took a little break in the middle of it to walk up the river & cover caroline in paintballs. Definitely one of the funniest runs of the year. I really just love our team a lot.
ps- props to God for making this earth a pretty cool place. HAPPY EARTH DAY
| |
| | AM- morning workout. 1.5 mile warm to harts then we got back & did the coe workout it was actually real fun. My times were faster on the last ones cause of my 400 so I had to really push it with jacey (cause meskerem wasn't there) but still it was a good workout & I felt really good! 1 mile cool.
PM- 30 easy with 4x200. We did masterblasters & my team won.
Also I'm now holding tryouts for a new best friend cause preston isn't doing his job good. THe end.

Snow canyon invite (0.5 Miles) 00:02:26, Place overall: 5 | | Didn't have a race on Friday cause the 200 got cancelled cause of lightning so I had the 800, 200, & 4x400 on Saturday except for coach said I didn't have to do the 200 (hallelujah) & then after my 800 all the other 4x400 girls said they weren't down to do it & I was perfectly fine with that. For the 800 I just wanted to state qualify & I hit the first 200 perfect at :34. The second 200 I was one second slow at 1:10. The third 200 I was 2 seconds slow at 1:47 & I ended up with a 2:26. I was pretty disappointed cause I've just hit this big plateau in my running & it's super frustrating. I know I can qualify, my pr is only 1 second off I just need to figure out what the heck my problem is & fix it. Overall it was a pretty good day except for I hate wind & cold so that sucks. Hoping to kill it at herriman next week & qualify maybe even break the school record!
| |
| | AM- 20 easy. We went faster than usual & it felt great.
PM- 1.5 warm then kosmin test. I was feeling pretty confident before this because I know I've improved a lot this year & my last time was so asinine (haha) that I was guaranteed a pretty good improvement. We started out & I just stuck with Alli B. She's so fast. But we went together & got like 350-360 meters then had our 3 minute cool & ended with 715. I felt really solid about this because it's over 60 meters improvement I think. After we had a 300, 200, & 100 a little faster than race pace & it was pretty solid. cooled to time.
| |
| | AM- 20 easy. Nice & easy
PM- 40 easy with 4x60 second hard (except I am substituting one of mine for the 200 at the jv meet). Real nice run with jos, jacey & meskerem. Way good run. We saw a dog & meskerem legit freaked out it was scary. Excited for all the jv runners to race today!!
| |
| | AM- 20 easy with Ellie & meskerem. None of us had watches so we just kinda hoped we turned around right.
PM- 30 easy with striders. Went to green springs. it was very hot today. After we had the youngster track meet & I was clicker number 5. ALSO my mom went out of town today so my dad bought us pizza & I think that that is very fortunate of us.
| |
| | AM- 20 easy
PM- 40 easy with 4x200. Firestation loop backwards. We started out at about 8:30 pace & by harts I was dead. My legs weren't moving & I wanted to be done. While we were waiting at the light I started thinking how crappy this run was gonna be & that I might fall off the pack. When I started thinking that I decided that I wanted to lead this run & started thinking about qualifying at herriman & how having that attitude wasn't going to help me. When the light turned I just decided that I was gonna run with Ryan whatever pace he was going. As soon as I started to have a good attitude I started running way better & I felt so good! The rest of the run was about a 7:30 pace & me and Josie were both feeling so good. I think today was a really good demonstration for me of how important it is to have a solid mindset in your running. I CANNOT WAIT FOR HERRIMAN
| |
| | AM- 20 easy
PM- 10 warm with 600 at goal 800 pace with a 300, 200, & 100 (except I didn't do the 100 because of handoffs for the 4x100) I wanted 1:45 but I got 1:51 which I'm gonna blame a couple seconds on my crappy start but still not what I wanted. I know I can get that time though if I get myself mentally ready. Really really hoping that I can qualify for state because this is my last chance. Just gonna leave it all out there. At region in running the 800 medley, 4x100, 4x400, & 800.
Also ps my sister has hilarious snapchats. Everyone add her jp.95penguins

| Race: |
Region @ Dixie (0.5 Miles) 00:02:30, Place overall: 5 | | My only race was the medley 800. I started out way too fast with like a 31 then kinda tried to hold pace but didn't do it very good. We got 5th but that is okay because we are already qualified in it!
|
| Race: |
Region @ Dixie (0.5 Miles) 00:02:26, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 4 | | No morning run cause I'm a dumb...
PM- REGION. I had the 4x100, 800, & 4x400. I warmed up for the 4x100 went over to the starting line then ran to the 200 mark to start. I was so nervous... But not to worry! After the first leg Amber & Lexi accidentally dropped the baton so good news I did not have to run! Then I just waited for the 800 & ran around a lot in between. It was a good time. When the 800 came I had a whole plan in my head & knew all my splits that would get me to state qualifying. They shot the gun & I was just focusing on the first 200. I hit that one a little slow at 35 which surprised me cause I expected everyone to start out really fast. When we hit the 400 mark we were at 1:12 which is 3 seconds slow & I knew then that time was no longer an option & I would have to get top 4. I started really trying to push it & jacey came up with me at that point & we pushed together. I let go of her at the 100 but I knew I had to keep pushing or else they were gonna pass me so I just gave it all I had & barely beat the girl for 4th place. STATE QUALIFIED. I was almost crying. Seriously the best feeling. Then we had the 4x400 & there was lightning so they were hurrying everything & we got 3rd in that so another state qualifying thing! I'm seriously the pumpedest person for state!!! (Also I found out today in running the medley at state.)
|
| | PM- we had 45 minutes with a couple fartleks in them so we did Neon Spider. It was so cool & scary & hilarious. Jacey screamed her head off the entire time. Good good times.
|
| | Easy 30ish run with jess. We went over to the little league ball fields & did a barefoot run in the outfield of the softball field. It was a good quality run.
|
| | Harts warm then We had master blasters today & they were fun! My first team was cierra & dallen then my second team was cam & presto and we got second! I felt really good & I really like going fast so 200s are a good time for me! Then I practiced handoffs with cierra & lexi.
| |
| | Just 30 easy. I had drivers ed at 8 but really wanted to be out for the first day of practice so I ran before then went & did warm ups with the team. I started out around the neighborhoods but then decided to go out to the desert. Saw a sick sunrise & just thought in my brain about how crazy real God is. Finished up & realized I was supposed to be leaving for practice so I was late.. Oops. Then finished off the day at gross drivers ed. But hey I'm super pumped for this season and our team and I can't wait for the first run of the season I get to run with my teamsters
Also, I have an annoying amount of water in my ear & may have damaged my hearing/given myself brain damage trying to get it out so if anyone has an suggestions they're very welcome
| |
| | 3 miles grass run w/ striders. Again I had drivers ed so bleh. But woke up at 5:45 this morning so I wasn't late to practice!! And I started out just ran to the park (2ish minutes?) then started my grass run and since green springs park is rather small & half of it was being sprinkled I had a little portion of the park I ran around for 15 minutes, then did my striders. All was very well & I started running again around the outside of the park and I GOT ATTACKED BY A BIRD it landed on my head and I've been terrified of them since I got tortured by one when I was 2 so that was the most frightening experience of my life I actually wanted to cry. Finished & went to practice and ran the warm up then left again hahah
UPDATE: the water is still in my ear and it sounds like a freakin ocean in there.
| |
| | 40 minutes easy I went up to mustang pass & it's a possibility I heard a rattlesnake but I'm not actually sure. also I was one of the first people to practice today so hoorah for me.
|
| | 30 easy with striders. Did a loop out through my desert then stopped at the park for my striders. Went to practice & did the warm up then left againnnn. Three cheers for the fact that I take my final drivers ed test tomorrow. Then I'll be on the roads with all the cool people.
|
| | Didn't run my full run today. Woke up & was celebrating my last day of drivers ed so I was actually kind of excited for the run but when I got out there I had barely gone up the hill by my house on green springs dr. before my achillies just started killin me. I decided to cut through silver stone 2 & head back to my house. Ended at about 9 minutes & iced iced iced both my achillies'.
|
| | Holy smacks hardest run of my life. I haven't been able to sleep in past 6 this entire week so I decided I was just gonna run whenever I woke up because I'm a dingus. And then, when I woke up my parents were like lets go bowling! and I was like well frick. (I got a new pr of 115 though so that was cool). So I didn't end up running til 3. It was burning hot. I just ran down gs drive & did my fartleks on that. The run was 35 min with 3x3 min fartleks with 3 min recovery. The first one I pushed really hard and was like dead by the time I finished hah. I slowed it down a bit on the other 2. They were all really hard pushes though. I thought I was dying on the way back like my lungs did that weird thing where they don't expand when you breathe in so haha that was a problem. But I lived and returned to my home.
another update cause I know you guys love those: I've just gotten used to the fact that I can't hear out of my left ear but people keep talking right into it so I would prefer to not have water in it anymore. It's been 6 days!!!!
|
| | Today we had 45 minutes with 3 laps around the dirt mile at with faster pace each one. This was like the hardest run. The last half of the last lap I really wanted to quit but I'm glad at myself cause I stayed in there and pushed better than I usually do. I really want to work on my mentality this season especially this summer because I'm gonna need it if I want to still be varsity. What I've really been focusing on (I'm not sure if it's good or bad that I'm pushing myself for this) but I really want to be varsity for bob firman. If I get left out of that because I didn't work hard enough I will be pi*sed I just know it so every run so far when things get tough I've been trying to think about how sad I would be if I didn't get to go and that usually snaps me back into working hard. On the way back we found some cute disgusting little ponds & jacey fell in. Holt ran with us which was different but good. Although I couldn't hear him most the time cause he was always on my left side and I was too scared to tell him I really couldn't hear a word he was saying. Altogether is really was a super fun, good run.
also shoutout to presto cause it's his birthday!!
| |
| | 15 min barefoot, striders, 15 min barefoot. way good run I love running barefoot. Ran in the group but mainly was like talking to rylee. I love that girl. Kids club after, that was a blast. Roberts was too cool to show up to practice again. I have a dream that someday he'll come.
|
| | 50 min up the parkway. Really solid run even though we only had like 4 people there haha. Me & caroline led the way up the first hill thing like before the freeway and we didn't realize we were actually going a real good pace except I don't know what it was exactly. Roberts is back yay!! And I seriously cannot wait for practice tomorrow I don't even know why.
| |
| | Easy 30 with striders after. I've just been feeling so good this entire week! I actually kind of like being low in numbers because I've gotten to know people that I hardly ever talk to.
|
| | 35 min with 3x3 minute fartleks w/ 3 minute recovery. Really solid run. I felt super good even though it was hard. We tried to get about mid 7's each fartlek cause coach said "NOT TOO HARD". Lots more girls there today even though we're still missing some. Now off to Top of Zion with the team. Yayayayay
|
| | TOP OF ZION HALF RELAY okay okay okay it was extremely fun. we had to wake up at 1 am to start our running so we had 3 hours of sleep hahaha. We ran in pairs cause we had 2 teams and running at night was actually the scariest thing I thought I was gonna get kidnapped the entire time. I ran with Josie and we were the 2nd leg. We had 6.5 miles straight uphill the entire time. It was so hard hahah. We ran at like 2 and finished at about 3ish and let me tell ya that was the scariest run. So then everyone else ran and then me and bos had to run again this time only 5 miles with a little uphill and some downhill. It wasn't bad. THEN everyone else ran then we ran again only we had to run 7.5 miles pretty much completely downhill which would have been the easiest run ever but we were so dang tired. Although we did run between a 6:50-7:10 pace the entire time so yay for us. We got 2nd overall and it was a lovely trip!
|
| | Long run but we only went 45 because of the relay 2 days ago. And holy smacks it was the hardest 45 minutes. My legs are completely the tightest things in the world. We were only going like 9 minute pace too!! So wowie wow wow it was a weird run but tomorrow is going to be lovely because we have a grass run yay!!!!!!
My heart rate was like 56 but idk if I counted right
| |
| | 30 on the grass barefoot with striders. Felt real good considering how it was yesterday. We need to work on getting all the girls to run with us on the easy runs!
|
| | Dirt mile again today. Sure feel like we do that guy a lot. It wasn't bad though we had 4 laps at progressively faster pace. Our first mile was a 8ish minute I think. Then down to 7:50, 7:40, and like 6:55 or something... Roberts kept telling us to slow down hahaha it was hard work though. I was going to stop after the 3rd mile because my legs were still feeling very tired from top of Zion (or at least that's what my excuse was gonna be) then I just kept running which I'm glad I did because that was the hardest lap by far. The dirt mile has always been like a really hard mental battle for me maybe that's why I do not like it but I'm working on my positivity at that place.
Ps all PV kids plz appreciate you schedules and all the fri*kin papers in the envelope cause it takes years to put them in<3
|
| | no one was at practice today cause of trek hahah we ran up the desert place by where the dead turtle was. On the warm up my knee was bugging me but I thought it was just like beginning running pains cause it usually hurts a teeny bit at the beginning of runs but it was totally killing me during the run I turned around at 15 instead of 17 and ran 30. Rylee turned around with me which I was super grateful for so I didn't have to run on my own. I only did 4 striders also. I iced my knee afterwards and its weird cause all my life I've never had knee pain but it'll be better tomorrow for sure
|
| | We only had 5 girls there today so we all ran together!!!! It was a really good run and I had no knee pain! A tiny bit of achillies pain but I think that's just cause I haven't been doing what I should so I'll start icing again. Anyway 60 minutes mid-distance run we did the loop off hells hole not sure what it's called and it was fun running with different girls they really need to run with us more often!
| |
| | 65 minute run with striders. it was one of the best runs ever. I literally could not ask for a better team
|
| | 30 min grass run. We mostly had all the girls together today!!!!! It makes me so happy when everyone runs with us. Kids club had their race today and it was a quality event
|
| | Dirt mile progression run. Really wasn't in there mentally today. I only did 3 miles instead of 4 cause I just couldn't stick with the group. We did like 8 minute pace the first lap then 7:50 then 7:40. Finished up running back with rylee then striders. Personally I really like doing the striders on harder days, it makes the recovery days that much better.
Good news is I'm going to the doctor on July 15 to figure out my ear dilemma and maybe I'll be able to hear again yay
| |
| | 45 easy. Went down kind of into Middleton. Found a sick cave by nicks house full of water and stuff. When we got back everyone had left hahah my achillies kinda hurt I need to ice. Shoutout to my sis it's her birthday shoutout to me I just got the kinvara 6s
| |
| | 60 min mid-distance up chuckawalla trail. (does mid-distance mean middle distance? Cause it's only 5 minutes shorter than our long runs currently, so that's something you can explain to me, coacho) It was hard but really fun also kaylee came and ran with us! our team is looking sooo good but we gotta get some certain girls out... My achillies hurted again I gotta take care of that shiz like crazy this weekend. Shoutout to Anna cause it's her birthday and another shoutout to me cause I getta celebrate with her
| |
| | Some of the team met over at my home to do our run today. It was 45 min w/ 4x3:00 fartleks. We ran out into mustang pass which is one of my favoritest runs (even though I spent a good 14 years of my life hating it) we started our first one at 15 minutes and when we finished everyone except me and jos turned around cause they only had 35 total. So me and josie just switched off leading them every other. They felt good, 3 minutes is a long time. On our way back we stopped at the park and ran through the splash pad which is the best decision I've made in my life because it was very hot! Actually it was only like 90 but it felt hot
| |
| | 70 easy with striders afterwards. I ended up only going 55 because my achillies just won't feel better. It's starting to move into my calf too. At least Rylee ran back with me making it more enjoyable.
| |
| | Easy 30 on the grass. I was really tired this run and kept starting to fall back from the pack so at like 20 minutes I ran up and started helping lead. It helped quite a bit I still felt tired but I wasn't falling off. First afternoon run/party at coaches and I can't even go cause my doctors appointment got moved up to 3:15 today. Also we had kids club today and I almost won preston in a pullover in capture the flag
| |
| | 4 mile progression on the dirt mile. Holt-o ran with us today which was a different thing. Also he yelled really loud at the boys which was not a different thing. The first lap was a little faster than 8 minute pace then I got up and led for like lap 2 & 3 which were 7:50 & 7:40. Then I fell back a bit on the last lap which was sub 7. I seriously thought I was gonna throw up the last lap cause I made the mistake of eating yogurt before the run so that was gross. On the striders my legs were so tired so I only did 6. Also I read the book roberts gave us and took a nap.
Also countdown to my birthday: 29 days
|
| | am- 45 easy. Actually not easy. My legs were really tired. I'd say this was one of our worst runs as a team. No one ran together and it was just blah. Whatever, tomorrow will be great
pm- 20 easy. Went about 8:50 pace and found a nice little loop around my neighborhood. Macey & Irene were at gs park as I ran by so I went and said hi. It was about 101°. So honestly I'm not complaining cause it could've been a lot hotter.
|
| | 60 easy around bloomington park and on the river trail. We weren't together as a team again. Meskerem was cracking us all up though. She's going on a date tonight with a dhells kid but she still can't remember his name. We stopped at the river and laid in it it was lovely cause it was so humid and gross.
| |
| | 65 minutes with 8 striders. Good adventure run even though we got lost in dirt. Me & jos were the only ones that went 60 so we had to run on our own for the last half & striders. Sometimes it's a good thing to just run with one person. My legs were quite tired so I'm thinking this'll be a good recoveryish week.
|
| | AM- just an easy grass run with my sister at vernon worthen. Nice run. Now we're off to colorado for like months
PM- just 20 after we finally got to CO. I wasn't feeling too well but the run really made me feel better so that was good
|
| | 40 minutes easy with jess. The elevation is starting to get to me. My breathing was awful on this run. Im hoping to find a good place to do striders and do them after tomorrow hopefully. Leadville is the cutest town
|
| | Have NOT been feeling good (pretty much this entire trip) but especially today. We went white water rafting early in the morning til like 4 but by the time we got back I just can't move. But I'll see what happens if I start to feel better tonight I'll try and get in even just a short one
Ended up going only 20, so like my afternoon run without a morning run. My breathing was not good and my stomach was not cooperating very well but we kept a good pace and my legs felt really good. Hoping to feel better tomorrow morning and be able to do my run tomorrow
| |
| | haven't gotten better this entire trip. Had to stay inside alone all day Friday and then Saturday we hiked mt. Elbert even though I wasn't feeling good. My parent said I shouldn't run for a couple days so I haven't been. Today we went on a 13 mile bike ride. I still don't feel 100% but maybe like 70 or 80. We're leaving tomorrow so when I get back to st.g I'll run.
|
| | AM- grass run. My legs were super tired and I just didn't have it in me today. I've been fine the past few days with my sickness and whatever but when I started to run I coughed a lot more and whatever so I don't really know. It was okay though I stayed up with the group and everything.
PM- just 20 and it killed me. We were going like 8:45 pace and I was dying! Not a good thing. I might only do like 2 or 3 laps tomorrow to ease myself back into running I guess
|
| | 3 laps progression at dirt mile. shoutout to the 4 girls at practice today for not living in the fields. Felt pretty alright other than my cough but that'll get better. I'm taking the afternoon off to recover and whatnot. Super excited for practice tomorrow I don't even know why
|
| | 45 easy with the girls. Fun run we took it really easy
|
| | 50 up ice house!!!! I love ice house so much. We were going a good pace even up the hill. Shoutout to the lone peak kid that came and ran with us cuz he has sick hair
| |
| | 40 minute w/ 4x3:00 pickups. The first 2 were incredibly hard and I was going so slow. The last 2 I went a lot faster and they felt a lot better. I did it on mustang pass.
|
| | AM- I had to run on my own this morning cause brockman finally called me!! (Also I didn't let anyone know that I wouldn't be at practice cuz I got my phone taken away so coach plz don't be mad at me). It was pretty hard. I ran into mustang pass again. That's as far as I've ever been down that trail. It was raining quite. I picked it up on the way back cause I was going sooo slow on the way there so my average for the last couple miles was 7:25-7:30. I have to drive with brockman all week but I'll be at practice tomorrow. Countdown to my birthday- 10 days!!!!
PM- 30 supposed to be easy but it was so hard for me. I wore all black which was actually a dumb decision of the day but it felt like we were going so speedy. Either way it's good to be back with the girls and have us all together again
| |
| | AM- 30 min grass run.
PM- 30 minutes easy to Caroline's house. My achillies started kinda bothering me again so I turned earlier and went slower. Now I get to go to a wedding for 2 people I don't know for like 10 hours...
| |
| | No progression for me today because I didn't have a watch in the morning and I just couldn't motivate myself to go in the middle of the day/heat. Did 4 with a quick finish with jessica. We were going in the low 8s and mid 7s the whole run so we weren't going super slow. I need to work on making myself run what I'm supposed to even if I can't run with the team.
|
| | AM- Probably about 4. I had to turn around early so I could go drive. I passed! So now I just have to wait for my birthday (7 days). Ran the way back with Sylvia & Caroline and had some good chats about life and driving and parents and trees.
PM- easy 30 to arctic circle. Really fun run
| |
| Race: |
Hurricane 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:20:40, Place in age division: 1 | | Warmed up for the race. We got to the starting line and rylee said we should stick it together for the first 2 miles then go on our own and me and Sylvia said alright. We started out and weren't going too fast. We were in 2nd and just kind of chilling behind this lady. We ran up this one road and saw a turtle that was completely smashed it was gross. When we got to mile 2 we decided we probably shouldn't split up haha. But Sylvia fell back about at this time and me and rylee passed the lady at like 2.5. When we were about at like 3 miles we saw the boys team running around and they started yelling at us asking who was gonna be first so we both just started booking it. We ended literally within milliseconds of each other but the people said I was first probably cuz I'm cuter. Then cooled down to probably about 5 miles.
| |
| | Easy 45 around my neighborhood
|
| | AM- 45 minutes w 6 striders. Only did 6 because I was feeling really sick. Still am. Headed up to camp in an hour and cannot even wait
PM- easy 30 once we got to camp except wasn't easy for me haha
|
| | AM- 75 minutes long run up through the mountains. Had a negative attitude then changed it and felt amazingly good and just cruised with meskerem, Jacey & jos.
PM- 30 easy. I don't actually remember this run but I'm sure it was good.
|
| | AM- 55 straight uphill. (Well halfway) Really tough run but me Jacey Caroline and Ellie stuck together and it turned out to be a pretty great run.
PM- 45 at conversational pace. Funnest run in a looong time Also on the way back coach broke the school suburban on a log hahahah
|
| | Another 45 easy. It was a fun run and guess what everyone I'M FINALLY 16
| |
| | AM- 45 on mustang pass. On the way back I biffed it hardcore and scraped up my knee and hands pretty bad. But I got my license so hooray for me
PM- 30 with the girls from nisson park around then to sandburgs (which is disgusting and low) so back to nissons to play in the baby river. Had a going away party for Jason, gonna miss him. Also shoutout to connor baller cuz he called me on my birthday and we had a sick convo
| |
| | Met up with the girls for a night run it was so fun. The pickups were good and hard. Feeling really stoked for this season!!!!
|
| | A shorter long run of 55 minutes. My legs were really tight but it was still a fun run. We kept the golf ball the whole time!!! After I went to harts and got an icee cuz I'm taking advantage of this driving on my own thing.
| |
| | AM- 30 easy on the softball field cuz the baseball field was being used. Jakey got 2nd in his race and was extremely proud so we went to bishops to celebrate.
PM- 30 easy to artic circle and weights, so lightheaded cuz I didn't drink any water today
| |
| | Time trial 1. I think we were just focusing on pushing hard as a pack and no matter what I told everyone, I was completely nervous as I've ever been. I forgot I was supposed to lead with meskerem the second mile not the first so I took it out fast with Josie and Jacey. By the time the second mile came along meskerem started pushing it and the pack started to spread and I couldn't hang on. I ended 6th (without rylee there so probably 7th) with a 13:08. I've always known there was gonna be big competition this year for varsity. But it's never seemed so real to me. I really need to step it up and work my hardest always. We finished up with some hill repeats and striders which were both good.
PM- easy 30 with josie through neon spider. It was actually completely terrifying without the rest of the team. But it was good to just run with jos. Also I'm very excited for the team party tonight it's gonna be delicious pizza
| |
| | AM- 45 minutes on the turtle trail. Fun run and I felt like we were pushing ourselves good up the hill. The top 10ish from girls and boys are going to Brian head this weekend and I'm real excited. Shoutout to me for winning a some free spikes at the running center party last night. Another shoutout to me cause my monthly views thing actually shows a number now. And shoutout to preston cause we're going on a date tonight.
PM- 30 easy to artic circle. Good run-o
| |
| | AM- easy 40 around temple quarry. There was some scary lightning like right next to us. And it rained really hard so we stood in it for a long time. Also RYLEE IS BACK YAY. Currently trying to convince her to get a blog. Now we're going up to Brian head which will be fun the end.
PM- went to Navajo lake and ran then jumped in. It was freezing but I got my hair wet because the boys were being dumb. Also we went to mammoth caves and wrote our family on the back of coach's car. I was married to paul. He was a decent husband
|
| | The literal best run of my life. We had 65 minutes plus 18 tempo and we drove to this huge hill so we did the tempo down the hill haha. We were planning on turning around at 37:30 to account for the tempo and the hill but we got to the summit at 30 minutes so we just tempoed down it and ran on the road for 15 minutes. Me, Josie, Jacey, Ellie and Sylvia were the only ones who made it to the top but it was super pretty and very very windy. On the way up the hill I figured out how to turn my brain off and it helped so much. We packed so good and I just get more and more excited for the season with every run. First race Tuesday!!!!!!
|
| | AM- long run with quick finish, striders and weights. I felt super good during this run but only did 4 striders afterwards cause my legs were completely beat. Hurried home and went on a sick date with hell raiser.
PM- 3 miles onto mustang pass. My legs were still completely tired and I felt kinda sick but I got out and it was a quick run
|
| Race: |
Cedar All-Comers (2.95 Miles) 00:19:38, Place overall: 9, Place in age division: 6 | | AM- easy grass run. Not a good day at practice. pvxc as a whole needs to step up its game
PM- warmed up around the course and cheered for the youngsters I was feeling sickish but it went away when we started racing. Got to the starting line and our entire team got an awful start. We got trapped behind hurricane but we worked as a pack up to the front and led the entire race. I started to fall off like the middle of lap 2 but I stayed that same distance behind them the whole time instead of falling back farther. I wish I would've beat laynee cause she was right there but I'm crazy proud of our team. We were 1 place off of a perfect score and had a 30-something second spread between 1st and 7th. I didn't do striders afterwards because I was feeling incredibly sick and about to throw up. Amazing day this season is going to be unbelieveable
|
| | AM- supposed to have 45 minutes with long hills but I only did 30. I'm still not feeling good from yesterday so I did one hill then ran back with seanne. I'm going to try to rest up so I can make it to afternoon run. School starts tomorrow and I still have 100 pages of Fahrenheit 51 to read soo it's not going to be a fun day...
PM- easy to artic circle. It felt good today like 97 degrees or something. 52 pages left if I had a year I would read 1 page per week but actually I only have like 13 hours so I have to read 4 pages an hour except I wanna sleep so I have to read 10.4 pages an hour which isn't bad but I really don't wanna go to school tomorrow
| |
| | AM- 39 easy with josie and meskerem before we had a to go to school. Still haven't finished that book but not to worry cuz we didn't take our test today. also I'm going to fail math this year dang it
PM- 40, probably my worst run of the year. My legs were tired plus it was hotter than it has been in a while like 107? anyway not a good run but I'm way excited for relays tomorrow it's gonna be sick. Ps does anyone wanna be my sponsor please??
|
| | AM- ran 30 minutes with the boys. I really shouldn't have (and coach made sure I knew that hahaha) because i haven't been feeling good lately and we had a race type-ish thing today. But it hurt when I ran slow and it felt SO GOOD to run with them. Although they're quite boring. They like didn't even talk.
PM- like 1.5 miles?? Maybe? We had desert relays today with dhells but it got lightninged out before I got to race or do any workout so all I did was warm up. Quality night with my fav girls afterwards though.
| |
| | 45 min with 5x4 minute fartleks. Went high 6 and low 7 minute pace for the fartleks (except the 4th one which was just awful all the way around). It felt way good. I didn't go til 8:30ish for whatever reason so when I got done it was quite dark. I saw Irene and possibly nick I wasn't sure if it was him and also some other people I'm sure I knew, they honked but I didn't get a good look. I started my run at nisson park cuz running in green springs gets old. So I just ran fire station backwards then extended to Washington elementary and looped around. finished through some wonderful sprinklers.
| |
| | AM- easy 30
PM- 60 min with 4 striders because my legs are so beat lately. One of the best runs of the year though. I love runs where we just bond the whole darn time. Although I wouldn't have minded if it was a little less than 114°
| |
| | AM- easy 30
PM- desert relays with dhells take 2. Felt good about this race. My team got 3rd and pv girls won overall so woo hoo for that. After we had a 4, 3, 4 minute workout fartlek kinda thing. Felt really strong especially on the last one. A good day overall
|
| | AM- easy 30
PM- easy 30 barefoot on the grass after coach talked for an hour. It's fine though it was a good talk.
|
| | AM- easy 30
PM- 5x1 minute sand hills. Wow best workout in a while for me. I lead up all of them and just felt way strong. It's the work of a magic ring. Excited to see what we can do at SUU. Haven't blogged in a while cuz my wifi hates me so it blocked the blog which is annoying
| |
| | AM- good easy run with a good pace.
PM- after a truly awful day, pre race easy 30 to sandburgs. WE DID IT!! it doesn't have the same effect as when jess was running but still a good time. Also we ran barefoot out of sandburgs which hurt like h*ck but lots of good laughing time and 200s were great.
|
| Race: |
SUU Invite (3 Miles) 00:20:14, Place overall: 12, Place in age division: 6 | | Warmed up, cheered for jv, had like a 10 minute delay at the starting line, then got racing. I stuck in the pack the first lap and beginning of 2nd. But started to fall off and didn't have a drive to get back up to the pack. I don't know what's wrong with me. Pushed my finish decently, because shawnee shimbeckwas right with me. My dad wants to start doing mental training stuff with me a couple nights a week. I think that's a good idea because I'm physically capable but my brain apparently doesn't know that. Anyway, decent race. I'll be racing jv next race which will be a fun experience, I've never raced it before and I do better in front. For now I'm just excited for the team party tonight
| |
| | AM- we went very speedy but turned early and took it easier on the way back. Also broke our record with 23 girls!
PM- long run w 2(1,2 min) pickups and striders and weights. Tough run but it felt awesome. I started out with a bit of a negative attitude then decided it was going to be a good run and it just went uphill from there! It felt way better than last week, probably cause it wasn't hot as Haiti this time around, like 104 or something. Maycee H killed it!!! She was with us the whole time. We're definitely gonna be seeing some awesome things from her this year and years to come. Also we got in the splash pad at pine view park and it felt lovely
| |
| | AM- 30 easy. Took it slow and accidentally killed the ball
PM- 30 easy same way as this morning but we went through neon spider before we turned around. Then I ate about 12 cookies and did my apush and we're going to durangos to celebrate Jess leaving and today is a good day!!
| |
| | AM- 3 easy to arctic circle
PM- TIME TRIAL #2. On the way over there Paul figured out we had a 14, 15, 16, & a 17 year old in our car it was so cool! We got there warmed up and cheered for the youngsters. We started out and I got out leading the pack. I felt so good so so good. The first time we went on the back stretch I felt like we started to slow so I surged a bit and the team came with me which made me feel way strong. We started to go up the top of the park and coach said we had to have someone push ahead up the gradual hill so we wouldn't slow so I responded to that and pushed the team up the hill. That's the part in taking away from this race. I felt so strong to be able to pull the team up the hardest part of the course. When we started going up after the bottom of the course I started to fall behind the pack and caroline went behind me and told me that I had to pull her up to the pack and it felt SO awesome to have her there for me. we spread out more at the ending and I ended 6th, which is fine, I was going for 5th but I'm really proud of the way we finished strong. It really felt like such a strong team oriented race. I'm so proud to be on such an amazing team. Finished it out with a 2x800m workout and cooled to time.
|
| | AM- 30 easy. When we passed arctic circle jacey said if we sprint now we can make it to then end of the wall. So I took off and made it. #wifeme
PM- 45 easy on prospecter. Took it way super easy til coach yelled at us then went faster then normal but felt good. Quote of the day by rylee "I get the gopro cause I'm the daughter and the oldest and I'm taller than my mom"
|
| | Today was just the best day ever ever ever
AM- easy run told scary stories the entire time and they were completely terrifying also we turned off the lights in the locker room and told them and oh my goodness I was freaking out.
PM- easy grass run/ football game boys vs girls. The boys went completely crazy and tackled like everyone it was quite the sight. Girls would have won if coach wasn't the time stopper and also happy birthday to him and also the car wash is tomorrow so everyone come
Then I just had a hardcore talk with my dad about work then running and all the stuff I gotta do mentally to prepare and he told me how proud he was of me this year and it was just a super sick talk to have before my 2nd (but pretty much 1st) day of work tomorrow
| |
| | Couldn't run with the tema on account of I had work so I ran after the car wash when it was about 3million degrees cause I couldn't go at night either. My legs were beat after the car wash. I had to wait in like an hour line so after that I made Jake take my car through which was actually terrifying cuz he might crash but he's the only other one that can drive stick and it turned out fine. I did the rinsing station and also sprayed people and it was fun
|
| | AM- easy run and some scary stories again. Now we all wanna see this scary movie Caroline told us about I think it's called 6th sense..? Jake and nick were complete dingus' and made me late to coachs class so nobody should talk to them
PM- 75 min long run with 2(1, 2 min) pickups and striders and weights. Ran up around fire station loop then into green springs, stopped at my house for a water break, and looped back around green springs dr. It felt wonderful on the weather side of things! Fun run and I felt great! Also I found out we're going to Murray instead of herriman, I think I'm excited about that.
|
| | AM- 30 easy
PM- 400, 800, 1000, 1200, & 1600 at race pace at the region course. Hard but felt solid. Good team work today. Jv had a meet and sylvia ran like a beast!! We have a very solid team all the way around. Seriously a great performance out of everyone
|
| | AM- my legs are completely so tired so I was going about 20 minute pace this morning. Now I am sitting on the floor in my English class cause we are having a lock down. shoutout to dallen cause he's sitting next to me and we have 5/10 classes together.
PM- easy 30 barefoot at sandstone. No weights today which is really too bad because I've been working really hard on my bench press, my max is now 2.5 pound weights on each side which is pretty impressive I think. Now I'm finishing my apush which'll take all night so pray for me
| |
| | AM- easy 30. I've been feeling kind of sick the past few days. We don't have school monday and that is something I just found out I am so happy. Also I'm going to durangos with marque and Josie and possibly this other kid and durangos is delicious
PM- SANDHILLS!!! (aka one hill of a workout) I love sandhills so much. I had 5x1 min up the hill then recovery back down (all the other girls had 4x1 cause Josie and meskerem were not there). I led all of them but we still packed pretty good i think and on all the other girls' last one Caroline yelled, let's keep up with Alli! and that helped me so much as well as her we finished way close to each other and the last one I ran with Julien and mikey and evan and Ryan and roberts. I felt a little sickish after them but it was fine. I think my body is just getting really tired from our hard week last week and this week so I'm super excited for our recovery next week. Also we had weights and I got my new max bench which is 55!! so now nick cannot laugh at me
| |
| | AM- easy run at quicker pace than we've been going lately. Runathon tonight soo excited
PM- runathon!!!!! Except just look at Saturday's post
| |
| | RUNATHON wow the swaggest night with some swag people. We listened to lots of music and ate lots of pizza and got to know each other a heck of a lot better. Also me and rylee invented a game and it is called the spinning game and you spin like a thousand times it's really cool. Also me Josie Irene seanne sasha and destiny played truth or dare and me Josie Sylvia julien and rylee played throw the football which is a fun game. I was one of the few who didn't sleep at all! I hit my first wall at about 11 then got my second wind then hit another wall about 1:30 and another wall at like 4:30 and that one was the hardest to keep going after because I had to leave and go to work. I worked with this kid I've never met, his name is britton and he looks like an elf. I prefer working with jackson cause he's who I always work with but it was fine. Currently I am not tired at all actually. Almost to 30 hours of no sleep and I really am not feeling it but I am laying on my bed and hopefully I will fall asleep.
|
| | 60 min long run. I had work this morning and the girls ran early so I had to run on my own. But at work I fell and broke my tailbone, not even kidding it hurts so bad. When I got out it hurt really bad but as I kept going it started to feel a little better. I tried to do some fartleks but that made it hurt incredibly bad so I skipped the rest of those. I just went out mustang pass then turned around and back to my house. It actually felt SO good outside. It's finally starting to be fall.

| | TIME TRIAL #3 so I'm still extremely butthurt (pun cred to preston) and it hurt alllll day today, but only hurt probably the first .25 of the race so that was fabulous. Started out and I was just up there but from almost the very beginning I was thinking negative. Then I started to say "if you can't push here you aren't going to push at Murray and that's where it really counts" which really helped me a lot. I visualized a lot on this course cause that's always just what comes to mind so that probably helped too. We were a lot more spread out as a pack today... Caroline was injured and Rylee did amazing so it was kinda mixed up. At the last stretch I was a little behind Jacey and Ellie (in 6th place) and I just sat there then thought that I'd worked this hard and I didn't wanna just sit anymore so I kicked it in and me and Jacey pushed together until the end, she got me by .2 but it felt wayy better to push that ending. I ended up 5th with 12:39 so not a good time but we were all a little bit slower. Then we did 4x400s at 5k race pace and cooled down for the rest of our time. Hard day but fun. Also I drove miles, evan, cooper and mikey over to the course and they were seriously cracking me up talking about coming out of the closet and stuff like that they're probably my favorites not gonna lie
|
| |
| | No morning practice again which I'm beginning to enjoy. At lunch I almost got my license suspended cuz Corbin threw a waffle out my car window hahahaha. The run was just 30 minutes barefoot. Hardest run of my life holy moly my legs were dead. I just kinda tried to stay up with the pack, we all got cold shouldered by my brother. He's such a dingus. Rolled out good and tried to study for apush everyone wish me luck on our test tomorrow cause I'm so nervous
| |
| | AM- easy my legs were freaking tired until like we got off the main road on the way back. Also the sunrise was completely amazing this morning
PM- dope swag adventure run with some dope swag 200s afterwards. ready to go beast and feast at dope swag Murray tomorrow. Still sad we aren't going to herriman, won't be able to see my sick lehi friendz but it's okay we'll have a splendid time

Murray Invite (3 Miles) 00:20:27, Place overall: 38, Place in age division: 6 | | AM- 3 easy usual
PM- Race at murray. We warmed up the course, so 3 miles, like 2 hrs before we raced. Then did a small one right before the race. I felt pretty good about it. I stayed with the pack for like half then started to fall off but I didn't fall off too far honestly. It was a tough course but it actually felt pretty short. We ended 3rd as a team (to AF & Davis), which was sick and we got a trophy. I met Garek B. and he said he's seen my blog which was also sick. Now I'm going to sleep so I can do a sick workout on the revised state course tomorrow so goodbye fellow bloggers.

Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 4.00 |

| | Workout on the state course! First we ran the course all the way through. It's way confusing we were trying to follow a map but I did not even understand. Then we ran it backwards for our workout. It was 2(1, 2, 3 min) at state goal pace. It felt extremely good. We ran as a pack good and worked together well. It was so scary running down the big hill haha. Now we're driving back to st.g except I don't actually wanna go back there currently.
|
Saucony Virrata 2 Miles: 6.50 |
| |
| | AM- easy 30. Pretty good pace and felt good
PM- crazy starting to the run coach Roberts collapsed waiting for a light and his eyes were rolled back in his head and he was seizing and they called the ambulance but they didn't come and it was really scary. He was okay though do not worry. We ran up into washington down into green springs by my home and up around. We got attacked by the weather during one of our fartleks (we had 2 sets of 1,2 min with 4 recovery) it started pouring and blowing dirt. The rest of the run was good. It felt AMAZING outside the bank said it was 91 and like half the time there was a decent cloud cover ah it was perfect. Also striders and weights. Seriously I'm getting so buff I work so fri*kin hard in the weight room
|
Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 9.00 | Nike Structure Miles: 3.00 |
| |
| | AM- real fun run with only me Josie meskerem and roberts
PM- workout at the Bloomington park before Duel in the Desert. We had 3(1000, 600) at interval & race pace. It was hard but a good workout and we packed way way good. The JV races were fun to watch. Our team ran so awesome!!!!!! Shoutout to Mitch cuz hes my language arts buddy and made me realize mrs. Endsley looks like a who.
|
Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 7.00 |
| |
| | AM- we could not go to arctic circle because there was a guy with a gun that pointed his gun at dallen!!! So we ran green springs which is where I live(: and it was a fun fun time
PM- after ditching seminary I locked my keys in my car (these are the consequences people) and couldn't leave until my mom took me home. It was a hard day I'm glad it's over. Had a good run barefoot on the grass though and now I'm ready to catch up on crazy amounts of homework, here we go. Side note- my mom keeps making cookies and brownies we have about 13hundred batches at my house right now and I'm really enjoying it.
|
Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 |
| |
| | AM- easy into green springs again. I saw all my fellow workmates driving to work and I was so happy I was not working
PM- sandhills my favorite workout ever. On the run over there I could feel that my legs were pretty tired but I was sure it was still gonna be a great workout. I led the whole time but I could definitely feel my teammates behind me pushing me. I made it farther than I ever have on all of them. To the top on almost all of them. My last one wasn't as strong as I would have liked, by the ending I was not pushing very hard. I was definitely tired on all of them and I feel a bit sickish I think I need more sleep. But a good workout all around and I was happy with our teamwork today!!

| |
| | AM- back to arctic circle. Carolines main goal was to get us back to the school without getting shot. I gotta say I was laughing really hard
PM- easy prerace even though we don't have a race tomorrow! We ran sandburgs then 4x200s after but I only did 2. My achillies was hurting this morning and started up again so I did one, sat out one, did another one and decided I was done. Really going to roll out, ice, and visualize tonight! After practice me josie anna dallen and mitch met at Josies house and did math homework (very successfully, I did the most and I did 4 problems...) and had cookies then we went and visited macey at work! Now I have to retake the apush test I didn't pass and hopefully pass this one.

| | Canyon View invite, instead of racing coach had the varsity run over to our region course as a warm up then do our workout there and cool down back. We had 2 sets of 1,2,3 min at region race pace. The team packed way way good. I kept falling off on the 3 min ones but I came back and it turned out to be a good workout. Our top 7 JV girls ran in the varsity race and THEY TOOK FIRST. All 5 scorers in the top 10. That was the only race we got to watch but it was so unbelievably cool. I love love love our team and the awards ceremony was so fun to watch and I am just so impressed with everyone. Also we are having a scary movie night and I am very excited

Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 6.50 |
|
| | AM- long run in the morning today and it was SOOO FUN. We ran out around harts, past arctic circle down by target up and over foremaster and up 2450. Best run with my bestest friends in the whole world I'm so happy that they are my team not even kidding. Also striders and 2(1,2min) pickups and we have an early out today woohoo
PM- easy three to arctic circle. We sat at the mouth of neon spider for ages and just talked about life. Then left without going through haha. When I say I'm grateful for my team I'm not kidding

Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 8.50 |
|
| | AM- small crowd but good run and my legs were so so so so tired holy moly
PM- 4x1000 plus wave hills at the middle school. Ran over there and got started on our first one. Didn't feel amazing and my achillies hurt. I stuck in the pack but didn't feel good at all. 2nd on came and I fell off the pack like a ton. Wasn't mentally in it. Was sick of my achillies and wanted to be done. Coach talked to us after this one (I had already decided I wasn't doing the next one) and he talked about making the big jump and how we could all go with it. I decided I wanted that jump so bad so I did the next one and got out fast. I was way ahead of the pack and they kept telling me to chill but I already had it in my brain how this one was gonna go. I pushed up hard the hills despite my achillies pain and finished fast and strong. I felt so good mentally. The next one I got out fast again but Jacey Rylee and Josie caught me and kicked harder at the end. I still felt good during it but afterwards my achillies was on fire. I only did the downhill part of the wave hills and did 5 instead of 3. They felt good and strong and I am so ready for bob firman.

Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.50 | Kinvara 6 Miles: 0.50 |
|
| | AM- easy before headed up to BOB FIRMAN
PM- state course workout. We did a warm up then 1,2,3,2,1 at race pace and a couple downhill repeats. It felt good and we were really strong. It was probably our best pack work!! Then we went over to nebo and watched our team race. As always they did outstanding!!!!

Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 5.00 |

| | AM- easy run around sandy. (Because we split the drive into two days at stayed the night in sandy) there was hills all over the place but it felt like a good run!
PM- went over to the course and ran it with some pickups and practice starts. It was sick. Also met connor baller and collinxc for the first time so shoutout to them

Bob Firman invitational (3.1 Miles) 00:20:29, Place overall: 64 | | Bob firman. Wow I've be waiting for this for a long time and individually it was definitely not how I imagined it. We did about 1.5 warm then got over to the starting line. We had a good spot and nobody next to us so lots of room to move. The gun went off and I got a great start. Our whole team was up with the front pack and I kept telling myself that's exactly where I wanted to be. I don't even know what happened after. About around the beach part on the first lap was when I started losing it. Ellie passed me on the beach part on the second lap and I really really wish I would've gone with her. I keep losing the mental battle and I just got to get that fixed. We ended up 5th as a team winning the tiebreaker! I'm so proud of my team and how good they did. Also meskerem totally rocked it and got 20th!
Overall it was a super sick trip and I'm way glad I went. I'm going to work day in & day out on how to be a better runner. Maybe google it or something

Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 2.50 |

| | AM- easy 30. My legs were dead so so dead.
PM- 15 min warm 3xmile repeats with an all out 200 and cool down to time. We had the repeats at goal race pace for region (6:15) then for the first one we were supposed to hit 10 sec faster than that (6:05), the second one was supposed to be 15 sec slower than our race pace (6:30) and the last one was 5 seconds faster than race pace (6:10). My first one I got out fast and led the pack strong for the whole one pretty much, but my shins were hurting a lot. I think it was about 6:06ish. The second one I got out strong and led with rylee for the most part and ended in the pack with probably 6:28? The last one I was trying everything to just stay in there. I have no idea what my time ended with. I didn't stay with the pack. On the last lap I came back and finished good and strong but I CANNOT lose the pack when I'm tired. Coach says I just need to believe in myself and I suppose that's true I just don't know where to start. The 200 was very strong for me and me and Jacey fought for it good. Good workout overall. I need to work on that last mile a ton. Maybe start always picking it up at the end of runs/workouts, even easy runs. I'll work on it. But I think it was good because my shins were hurting lots and I wanted to take one off after every one but I kept in there and I'm glad I did. That's one step forward

| | AM- don't know about my legs they're feeling trashy. Fire alarm went off twice before school started and the entire hall by the locker room was filled with smoke. We barely got out alive
PM- 40 min with half of it on the grass. Holy moly my legs are struggling these last few runs. Also I have like 5 tests and 15 homework assignments due Thursday. My teachers hate me probably
Shoutout to all the girls for asking literally every guy in the school to sadies the day after homecoming. It's fine I'm gonna ask someone cool like Nathan gledhill probs

| | AM- easy 30 legs felt better still tired
PM- at bloomington hills park, 15 min warm, 15 min tempo then straight into a 100/100 workout where we did 100 at all our pace then 100 at tempo and we did 10 of each other those. I felt way good on the tempo stuck in there strong and convinced myself that I wanted to be in the pack. The 100s we broke up a bit before we started so I was a little bit behind ellie and Caroline and I worked my way up to them and passed them finished with Brianna cuz she was all by herself. I felt way good on these as well. A super sick workout and a good step forward. Keeping positive. Then cool down about 10 minutes

| | AM- slowww run because holy moly my body is tired. It's that time of the season I suppose.
PM- hot nails easy run. Roberts sang to us and it was sooo good and also he played the guitar and I think the guitar is so impressive I love it. Then we ran and it was actually cool 98 degrees but as hot as it gets I'd rather run in summer than in winter any day.

Saucony Virrata 2 Miles: 3.00 | Nike Structure Miles: 3.00 |
| |
| | AM- easy 30 we told all our dreams and meskerem had one about the dhells boys shooting us and it was hilarious.
PM- 15 warm up, 1,2,3,2,1 workout then cool down. The Cedar invite was today so we went over to the region course to do it. I felt decent. We packed really good and I never fell off I just felt kinda weird. I need to drink more water and get more sleep. Then we went over to cedar and cheered. Everyone did way good and I'm pretty sure we were all high especially meskerem she was cracking us up

Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 7.00 |
|
| | easy 45 min and I felt soo good. I ran up green springs drive to the gas station then turned down towards fire station hill but instead of going up it I turned up quail ridge and ran by nicks house and back down. when I got done with that loop it was only 4 miles and 30 minutes so I extended down by the park and around the starting place of the desert. Ended with like 5.5 and I have a weird tendon in my leg that's really sore so I've been icing that. Also I had work this morning so I didn't get to go to the marathon but shoutout to all the people that ran it cause that's sick. Also it's starting to get really cold and I'm not loving that
|
| |
| | AM- Josie and Rylee kept pushing the pace even though we had a tough workout in the afternoon but it wasn't awful I guess.
PM- 1600 time trial with an all out 200. We did 2 mile warm then due to lightning delays waited in the school for half an hour. I actually love lightning delays and just hanging with the team. Then we did a little more warm up in the school and got out there. I led the first 2 laps with caroline then starting the third lap josie went crazy and started killing it. I didn't think about it and everyone went with her but I fell off a little bit. I still picked it up the last lap and pr'd (which isn't saying a ton since I didn't run it during track) with a 5:39. Solid workout, solid day. Except for the fact that I spilled my icee all over my car but ya can't have everything in life

Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 3.00 |
| |
| | PM- no morning practice, we had a good long talk about goals and shiz and it was lovely. Then went out for a 30 minute grass run due to the fact that meskerem forgot shoes. We were a little crazy but I can assure you we are the funniest people anyone's ever met.
|
| | AM- easy 30, excited to only have to go 20 the next couple days. Extra time to screw around and be stupid with the girls team afterwards
PM- 15 warm, 15 tempo, 20x100/100s (alternating pace between all out and regular tempo) then 10 cool. The tempo was fine and I felt good and stuck with the girls easily. The 100s were different. I was drained but I stuck in there decently and gave a good push on the tempo ones to try to catch up with the first group. We had a great pack and I'm excited for region for sure. Also we ran at the Bloomington park and dhells was there the end

| |
| | AM- woke up very very late and so I sped (60 mph down green springs drive and didn't get caught;) to practice and went to catch up with the girls.
PM- easy 6 with striders after team pictures. Literal blast and a half. We laughed the entire time and had tons of fun. Caroline jumped in the blue/green golf course pond and we have a food afterwards hahahhaa
|
Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.00 | Saucony Virrata 2 Miles: 6.00 |
|
| | AM- felt really really good and usually my legs feel subpar in the mornings so that was lovely
PM- sunrise tire hills. 3 sets of 4(20sec up with 10 sec recovery) felt really good and way strong. Caroline came late cuz she's a slacker in all her classes so we waited and ran back with her. Just a quality time, we're the best of friends
|
Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 2.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 5.00 |
| |
| | 45 min after work and a cute little girls party at maceys. I love the fact that I can run in the middle of the day and not die of heatstroke, like that's the best. I just went into mustang pass. I decided I should start eating better and maybe that would help my running (so I'm eating an apple rn, props to me) but apparently that means I have to eat less bread and that's like my entire food that I eat because it is the most delicious food. but apparently it isn't entirely healthy to eat as much as I do so I am going to limit myself and also maybe eat more apples probably not though.
|
| |
| | AM- easy 20. I am super pumped for region tomorrow!!!!!
PM- pre-race, fun run to sandburgs! Then 200s afterwards which we did in the form of masterblasters. We had a team dinner at my house tonight and nows there's a hole in my wall... I don't think they're invited back next year

Region 9 Championships (3 Miles) 00:20:23, Place overall: 14 | | AM- easy 20
PM- region... Warmed up and got to the starting line. I was nervous and that's bad news cause I don't really get nervous. We got our way good and I led with Mic from cedar and Caroline for the first lap. The second lap I stared to slip away but me and Jacey worked together and pushed each other. The third lap she started to take off and I didn't go with her apparently. I had a decent kick and ended with 20:23 which is not at all where I wanted to be. I'm not thinking i''m running at state anymore because I placed 8th. On the bright side I've never been happier because we took 1st overall with 25 points and that's 2 years in a row of a region title!! It wasn't my best individually but honestly I love my team and I'm so happy everyone did so good

|
| | No morning run thank goodness cause I had to stay up till midnight doing math. Then when I woke up I felt way sick so I stayed home for the first 3 periods and didn't eat or drink anything. I went back during lunch and was feeling betterish. We just had 30 min easy and my legs felt so heavy and my stomach was still hurting bad. Definitely excited for fall break these next days
|
|
| | We had the option of 16x50m alternating all out and tempo pace or 4x400s all out with 3 min recovery. I did 4x400. They were a hard push. I did very good on the first one and my mental game was strong. I started to slip after that but it was still a good workout. I have a weird thing about me that when I get done and I'm tired I feel so much better when I close my eyes so I did like my whole cool down with my eyes closed. It was actually peaceful.
|
Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 5.00 |
|
| | We had 40 minutes easy and we drove to Middleton to run it. We had a good quicker pace going and it felt way good.
|
|
| | Practice at 1:30 again to get prepped for state. 15 min steady state with 2 wave hills. We did 10 warm up over to the middle school which I felt fine during. Then when we started the steady state I was okay for a little bit and around 6 minutes I started to feel very very sick again. I guess I'm not over it. I'm applauding myself for my ability to stick with the pack under the circumstances. The hills were okay. I almost biffed it on the 1st downhill, I really thought I was going down. Very very slow run back to the hs and now I'm gonna take everything there is to prevent sickness.
|
Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 5.00 |
| |
| | AM- easy 20 we were really speeding and it is freezing in the mornings.
PM- easy 30 to sandburgs. Felt sick again. It's gonna go away before state I know it, I just wish it would hurry up. Took miles and julien to the store with me and I bought a 30 pack of emergen-c and I have already dranken 2 packets and I will take it to state with me. Also it rained last night and due to the fact that my brother can predict lightning I got some very cool pictures of it. Also I don't want to go to school tomorrow. Also we got our state uniforms today. I am very very excited for state!!!

Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 2.50 | Kinvara 6 Miles: 3.00 |

| Race: |
3A State Championships (3 Miles) 00:20:23, Place overall: 27 | | AM- easy before state
PM- state. wow. We started and warned up and got to the starting line. I got out good and pushed good. Around the pond Caroline passed me and had I stuck with her, it would've made all the difference. It was an okay race for how my seasons been going. I had a good kick. When we finished my card (I was our 7th runner) said we got 1st and it said we got first on runnercard. We were crying and hugging and were so happy. Even writing this it makes me want to cry thinking how happy we were. After they awarded the top 10 medals they didn't award team trophies and we found out (3 hours later) that they had disqualified a stansbury girl for running outside the course but then they decided to requalify her, putting us in 2nd. Then we found out they disqualified a park city girl (making us and stansbury tied but our 6th girl was faster so we would have won). after 3 hours they finally decided to award the team awards and tbey gave stansbury the 1st place and us 2nd. It was heartbreaking. I cried for at least an hour. We know that none of us had our best races, but we still thought we had it. This was the hardest thing I've faced. I cried every time I thought about them taking home that trophy and them cheering when they announced their names and then being able to think about theirs races and not having to pick apart everything they could've done better. I'm past the crying part now, I'm just mad about everything. One of the worst parts is that our school was actually paying attention to XC for the first time ever and they were totally hyped for us. I stayed up for 2 hours that night and as of right now, I think I can speak for my whole team when saying this, we are going to work our butts off. I can assure you that I am going to prove that I want it more than anyone else, and that I'm willing to go through any amount of pain to get it. I'm hungry for NXR and I know my team is as well. I only have 1&1/2 years of high school running left and I'm going to enjoy every step. We will win state next year. And we will do extremely well at NXR. We're gonna go show everyone what we're made of and how incredibly amazing we are. I refuse to go through this kind of thing again. I'm forever going to be upset by the outcome of things, that's just the way it is, but I'm going to use that anger to push me and my team to new heights. After Nike, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind that pine view deserved that state title. So there's that, no one read this monster of a blog post but I needed to get my goals out there and to make sure I know and remember them always. Here's to a great month of training and a phenomenal race at NXR.

| | No morning after state. Easy run into Middleton. I didn't wear a watch but went about 30ish. We talked a lot about state. Roberts "doesn't want us to be bitter" but how can't I be? This sucks
|
|
| | Again no morning. We ran to panorama and played wall ball for a bit. Currently I'm trying to get myself to enjoy running again. We're getting right back into workouts and long runs next week so I gotta get my stuff together
|
Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 3.00 |
|
| | Today was optional and I decided not to run. I stayed up last night (having a super sick night) but afterwards I thought about state a lot and something that sucks the most is no matter how mad or sad I am about it I can't change anything. I'm working on letting it go and I'm pumped to work my butt off these next few weeks and show everyone how I should have been performing this whole season. Nike is the main focus now and everything else is in the past
|
| | AM- quicker pace, felt good
PM- longest run in quite a while plus striders and it felt lovely and we ran into Middleton and also we had pickups in the middle 2 sets of 1,2 with 4 min recovery. My legs were tired but it was still grand. I believe in myself and I'm ready for monday
|
Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.50 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 8.50 |
|
| | AM- only Roberts and Josie and me. We were right behind the boys the whole time and we made it past the wall(:
PM- to hot nails. We found a staff that we will attach a lock of each of our hair to and bestow to a lucky person. Also everyone's trying to switch up nicknames even though that isn't allowed
Shoutout to nickley cuz he's the big 1-8 today and he made copies for me during 5th period.

Kinvara 6 Miles: 3.50 | Saucony Virrata 2 Miles: 3.50 |

| | AM- It is so cold!!!! I am sick of winter or fall or whatever season we're in. Bring back summer
PM- we did 2(2x1000, 400) with an all out 100 at the beginning and end. The 100s and 400s were just hard and all out we didn't have a time for them, but my 1000s we were supposed to hit 3:55 and we hit 3:50, :52, :47, :47. I was pretty happy with these times and especially with our pack today. I really didn't feel tired during the workout like at all. It was way sick and I just thought positive and had a great time. Also we had 15 min warm and 10 cool down. Lovely day

Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 7.00 | Nike Structure Miles: 3.50 |

|
| | We drove up to cedar and did a workout on the region course then watched the big sky meet. We did 5 min tempo then 8x400s. It was FREEZING but we lived and it felt good. We were a little behind our times the first half, then we were way ahead the second half. Then the race was fun to watch and we played tackle missionary tag which is the sickest game. And to celebrate halloween me Brianna and rylee hiked shinob kibe with some of our dhells friends. It was savage, lit af.
|
|
| | AM- easy but was hyped to race today
PM- we had the PV Autumn Classic Dirt Mile Extravaganza. 3 mile loops at the dirt mile. I started off good in the pack, fell a little about halfway through, and lost the majority of the pack the last lap. However most of us had season prs and I was one of those people. 19:39 and 6th (Caroline dropped out at lap 2) I talked to coach after about the fact that I have to focus or else I fade. This race felt really beneficial to show myself what I can do. I should have had a stronger finish because I was right behind jacey and I could have got with her. Major shoutout to meskerem because she killed it with an 18:20something? even though she got surgery like 3 days ago. Also shoutout to myself cause I finally got twitter, everyone follow me

Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.50 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 2.50 |

| | AM- just me jos and roberts. The lonely mornings aren't bad mornings.
PM- easy lower end of mid distance run. We went into green springs like my favorite run ever plus I live there. There was road construction so we ran on the good and not dangerous side of the road. Also we played the game of roger fence only me Caroline and meskerem were successful.

| | AM- easy 30
PM- same workout we did last wednesday. For our thousands we wanted 3:55 and got :55 :59 :45 & :38. Kind of all over the place but we were packed and that's what matters. We had a good sized group with about 8-9 finishing with us. The 400s were nice and fast. And the 100s were also fast. It rained and was cold, tis the season.
|
Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 7.00 |
|
| | AM- easy 30 it was freezing
PM- easy barefoot grass miles. The grass was cold. After practice there was a huge debate on the death penalty and if it is ever a good punishment. Also i started listening to my Elvis Christmas cd in my car for the season. Also we had the sadies assembly shoutout to nick and preston for being the funniest ones there.
|
Kinvara 5 (orange) Miles: 3.00 |
| |
| | AM- 30
PM- sunrise tire hills. 8x20 seconds up w/ 10 sec recovery (you end up going up the hill twice). I like this workout, hills are my fav. I felt strong the first time up the hill, but I really believed in myself and got going the second time up. Quality workout then a quality night.

Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 5.00 |
|
| | I had work at 8 and sadies at noon so we got together at 6:30 and ran mustang pass right by my house. Just easy 60. I felt good. We talked about one topic literally the entire run. After, we went to sadies and it was a blast and a half. Shoutout to michael my sick date. We went sand sledding and played basketball and did cool tricks on this lady's tramp. Also we saw coach at the dance! Way fun, good times

Mizuno Wave Riders (purple) Miles: 7.00 |

| | AM- lots of girls but we got separated as some wanted to go 11 minute pace
PM- masterblasters. 8x200s with alternating 1 minute and 5 minute recovery. I felt way good and I really focused on improving my form. It's supposed to be below freezing tomorrow morning so I'm starting to prep myself

Dirt race with dhells (2 Miles) 00:12:12 | | AM- easy 30. Nice
PM- race w the hells. We drove clear out there and got all warmed up and everything and got started. strong first mile with a good pack. I started to slip about 1.25 probably. I wasn't focusing as much. But I stayed focused the first mile incredibly good!! That's a positive. I knew addi was working on me and I tried to keep up and just stick with laynee but I didn't. I was about 1-2 sec behind laynee and 3-4 sec behind Addi. 8th on the team. I know that Nike is something that I want with all my heart. But I want our best team there and if I don't deserve it I'm not mad. I haven't performed what I should have this season and Addi came in clutch like a champ. Still a pr and I felt I had a good race. whether footlocker or Nike is next I'm pumped

Kinvara 5 (yellow) Miles: 3.00 | Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 2.00 |

| | No morning. I love sleeping in
PM- we had easy 30 to hot nails. I felt good but we did some random surges chasing each other and my legs were dead every time I did one. I just need to rest them tonight.
So I'm going to Nike. I want to believe that I deserve this opportunity more than anyone who doesn't get to go but I am so incredibly sick of disappointing myself and my team. maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself and I need to just chill out about life. I don't know
|
| |
| | No morning.
10 min tempo then 3x800. Our times were all over the place but my shins were actually killing me. I was in a ton of pain but I'm fixing it for sure. Cool down and warm up were about 1.5ish
|
Mizuno Wave Riders Miles: 6.00 |

Dream Mile (1 Miles) 00:05:43, Place overall: 6 | | No morning!
Dream mile in the afternoon!! I was feeling decent going into this, wasn't crazy looking forward to it but wasn't dreading it. It was way cold and windy so that made me wish it was a different day. We warmed up 2. We ran the track backwards so the wind wouldn't be as bad (coach is a wind expert) and we started at the 100 so it'd be the same but we turned right instead of left. We started out as a pack and everything. I was feeling pretty good, as good as I've felt all season. As we were finishing our second lap holt said "Alli you've got to focus are you focused?" And that totally got me in the right mindset, I thought I was focused before but that seriously just clicked and as Ellie passed me I went and got with her. If I'm completely honest with myself I haven't had actual fun in a race all season, racing just wasn't fun anymore, but this race was fun. I actually enjoyed pushing myself during the race. I know I've got my drive back, and I have never been more excited for a race as I am for Nike. I ended 6th on the team instead of my 7-8th spot that I've been maintaining all season. I know I'm ready to push myself to the absolute limit and help my team qualify for nationals. Oh man I just can't wait.

PM- 30 easy to good old green springs which is where I live. Also here's something you didn't know it's actually green spring but everyone says green springs.

Kinvara 6 Miles: 3.50 | Mizuno Wave Riders (purple) Miles: 2.50 |
|
| | AM- easy 20.
PM- 4x400s starting at 5k pace and getting faster with 5 min recovery. We wanted to start with 1:35 and move down a couple seconds each time. We hit 1:37, :32, :30, :18. Lol @ the last one and the first one. Clearly we could work on trying to feel the pace better but this was a pretty easy workout and it was just a fun time. So ready for nike. It's gonna be legendary. Also us & the boys made it into the championship race so three cheers for that

NXRSW (3.1 Miles) 00:20:31 | | NXR. Not really sure what to say about this. I wasn't in it. It felt like one of my hardest efforts of the year but it just wasn't what I wanted. Team did great and took 11th (although there was scoring mishaps so we have the 10th place trophy). We destroyed stansbury, they took like 22nd. So everyone hopefully knows who deserved to win state. My goal for footlocker is to have a slow first mile and kill the other 2. I just need to be passing people instead of getting passed. I'm frikkin pumped for track though. The ride home was a 10/10 though

|
| | AM- me and jos had to retake a test in the morning so we went at 6 and a bunch of girls decided to get up early with us which was awesome. Good run but it was cold.
PM- 3xMile repeats with 3 min recovery in between. I've been doing workouts with the top group of girls all year even though my race times haven't been exactly the same as some of them but today coach told us to go totally off of our last 5k we've ran. So I was actually not with them today. It was very discouraging at first because we had to run slower and I wanted to be with them and I knew that was the pace I should be going. But I stayed back and me sylvia & Addi had a great workout with a 6:49, :40, :10. The last one I felt way strong and confident. I really enjoyed running with them and I think it's definitely gonna boost my belief in myself. Solid day. I wish it would snow though.

| | I just had 30 min and we were going up to salt lake so I ran early in the morning before we left. It was a nice run through my neighborhoods. There was about a million people out. Why do so many people come to st.george, stay in your own dang towns
|

| | Another 30 plus striders. I know why people go to st.g. It's freezing everywhere else. There was wind and SNOW!!! Snow is not how it appears in movies people, it's very very colder than expected. My aunt lives right by Liberty park and so me and jess drove to my aunts then ran to liberty park and did a couple laps and some striders. when I was 2 me and my sister got tortured in the aviary there and I've been terrified of birds ever since so that was a fun memory lol. I'm thankful for my ability to run though it's great

| | 3(1000 & 400) after a long day of driving the team met up and did this up the dam road. I hit my times which was good. Legs felt good I was just kinda tired. A dog that we named max kept following us. It was so cute! But it kept running in front of us haha.

| | 45 into mustang pass. Nick has really done a solid job on it clearing it up and whatnot. It's sick. I felt way gross cause I ate like a ton before I went out and ran but I just took it easy and it was good. Quick finish was suprisingly strong for how I'd been feeling before. Solid
|
|
| | No morning practice for the rest of the year. Sand hills. Workout felt weird. We had 3 up hills and 3 down hills. I love these but my lungs were weird and stuff. Still a good day.

| | 30 with striders. My legs were very tired and I just felt draggy. We weren't even going fast I was just tired today.
|
|
| | We had a 100 to 200 workout, increasing by 20 every time and increasing the speed as well. It was way easy and felt good. 10 warm & cool. One our cool down this kid named John was running around the track and Caroline used my pickup line I taught her and said "what's your name?....(John).... Wow that's a nice name you got a number to go with it?" HAHAHA oh man it was great. He was way funny about it too. I left practice speedy quick cause there was a dead bird and nobody wants to hang around that. I almost stepped on it!!!! Oh man it freaked me out I hate birds.
|
| | Ran when we got to california. It was a swell run full of singing and pretend swearing.

Footlocker West (3 Miles) 00:21:08, Place overall: 30 | | Footlocker!! This was my best race of the season by far. I decided to start out slow so I got out good then slowed way down. I just tried to stick with Laynee W from dhells cause I knew she was gonna go the pace I wanted to start with. Despite my efforts I passed her and kind of went faster than I wanted. The switchbacks were good. Laynee got with me again on them and we pushed over the hill. I passed tons of people on the downhills, I think the downhills was the reason I was able to get top 48 which was my goal, to get a medal. But I felt way solid on all the downhills so that's good. Poop out hill was good too and the back side of the course was kind of tough and it went on forever. Going on the downside of reservoir hill I lost control and really thought I was gonna fall but I passed like 7 people so that was way good. I just pushed it in and finished 30th overall. and I had a great time. This was the funnest race and I'm glad I was able to end good. BUT I AM SO PUMPED FOR TRACK SEASON!!!!!

| | First day back in 2 weeks. It was pretty bad ahhaha. My legs were dead and I went so slow but hey it happens. The sun didn't even come up today so I wore a jacket & long sleeve and was still a little cold. We're supposed to be switching to running2win but I'm not great at figuring it out so I'll stay on here for a little while longer at least.

| | I did not get out til like 5 cause of that I have to work a tonnnn over this break which sucks. 30 min down gs drive and up to the really big houses. Little problem in the middle but no lasting damage. My legs were feeling a lot better than yesterday maybe I was going way slower I don't know

| | The team and Roberts met up before my work at green springs park. Felt fast but I'm getting back into it.
|

|
| | No run because we went to cedar and there was snow on the ground and I wasn't doing that. Hung out with my family and had a grand Christmas.(:
|
| | Woke up before the sun to run before work then found out I didn't have to be in until 9:30. It got down to like 20 degrees last night which made for a cold run.

| | I'm struggling this Christmas break, this run just felt long and tiring. Maybe because it's the longest I've run in a couple weeks but I just need to be able to find some joy in it. I'm missing the team for sure.
|
| |
| | Mustang pass again haha. This one felt loads better on the way back. Work was horrendous today, absolutely awful so a nice short good run is just what I needed.

| | I drove to the higher neighborhoods by my house and ran out above Middleton and the frontage road on those trails and stuff, except there wasn't actually trails so I just ran around. It felt good though it was really fun.

| | Went up the parkway and started into Dino cliffs then turned around. Very very solid run. I can finally feel myself getting back into shape and I actually used gps this time and didn't feel like I was going incredibly slow.
