| Member Since: Jan 15, 2018 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other Personal: Attended Japanese high school and finished in March 2020. Was very lucky to be able to be a member of a very good team of runners at my high school, even though I was injured most of the time and was not able to be much of a contributor. Am currently doing an Engineering internship at a large manufacturer of Automotive transmissions, etc. It is really exciting. In spring of 2021, if COVID-19 has subsided, I am planning to serve an LDS mission, after which I plan to go to college and study Engineering. |

| | Jogged a very slow 5 miles. Have gained a lot of weight and could really feel it.
|
| | 5 miles at 8 min./mile. Felt very good, even though it was very cold.
| |
| | I tried to push the pace a little this morning, but all I could do was 7:30/mile for 5 miles.
|
| | 5 easy miles. Forgot my watch so I don't know my time for this run. I just ran very relaxed. Stopped a couple of times to look at the moon and the stars. Very enjoyable run.
|
| | Ran 5 miles at a good pace. At times during the run, I felt like my old self again.
|
| | I was going to do a speed workout today, but I decided it is too early for that, so I did an easy 5 miles. I was happy that I was able to run every day this week. I will take a day off tomorrow.
|
| | Ran 5 miles easy with some fast portions mixed in. Averaged about 7:30 a mile
|
| | Ran 5 easy miles.
It is really difficult for me now to get excited about running. It is cold outside and it takes so much time to get into some warm running clothes. I feel I am dressing to go to the North Pole or something. I woke up yesterday morning, but I just couldn't get out from underneath my blanket and rolled over and went back to sleep. I need to find something to help me become motivated.
|
| | 8 x 1000 m @ 4:00min
I didn't run these repeats very fast, but it did feel good to run a little harder today.
|
| | Easy 5 miles. Felt very heavy and tired today. Maybe it was because of the harder running I did yesterday.
It has been almost 2 weeks now since I started running again. I thought I would be able to get right back into it, but it is taking a lot longer than I thought it would to get back into running condition.
I think I will continue with this distance until it feels more comfortable.
|
| | 5 miles at 7:30/mile pace. It seems that this pace has become a barrier. I can't push myself to run faster than this.
|
| | Took a short trip with my mom last week, so had a week off.
Ran 5 miles today very easy with some fast portions mixed in.
|
| | Ran a hard 5 miles at 7:00/mile. I felt like quiting after the first mile, but the following miles became much easier. I guess my body relaxed after the first mile.
|
| | 5 very slow miles.
Went bowling for a couple of hours yesterday with some friends. Used some muscles I don't usually use and was very sore today, so just took it very easy.
|
| | Ran 5 miles at a good pace of 7:00/mile.
I have a chance of going to Salt Lake City to live and to go to the university from there. There are several universities in the area, and if I go to Salt Lake City, I will have to decide on a school. I am now trying to get as much information about the different possibilities now. I am looking for a school with a good Engineering program.
| |
| | Actually was able to get up early this morning and make it out the door to run 5 miles.
I have decided that I will take the offer to move to Salt Lake City. I will be going there in April. I will be living with an elderly woman that we know there. I will be helping her with her needs while being able to live in her house with her rent free.
I will be applying to a university nearby.
My choices in order of preference are:
1. BYU
2. University of Utah
3. Utah Valley University
4. Weber State University
I am not sure what the commute time will be to some of the universities, so I don't know if commuting to BYU, for example, will be possible.
The University of Utah is the closest to where I will be living, but it will be more expensive because of out-of-state tuition.
Anyway, before I decide, I have to be accepted first.

|
| | AM: 5 miles slow @7:30/mile pace.
This was my last day running here in Japan. I will leave Japan next week. I have really enjoyed it here. I hope to return someday. My step-father is Japanese and He and my mom have decided that they will live here in Japan.
Next week will start a new chapter in my life. I am nervous but excited for what the future will bring.
|
| | Arrived in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. It was 83 degrees when I arrived. It felt great. I woke up this morning to snow. First snow that I have seen this year. Don't think I will try running until next week. Still very jetlagged.
|
| | AM: Ran a very easy 4 miles. First run since I arrived in Salt Lake City. It was a beautiful morning. I ran down to the Utah State Capitol Building and looked at the cherry blossoms. It was beautiful.
|
| | 4 miles @7:30/mile. I got tired real quick. It may be the altitude here. I have been at sea level for such a long time.
|
| | Ran 4 miles. At the beginning of the run, I felt really tired, so I took it really easy @ 9:00/mile, but part way through the run, I felt much better, and ended up the last half of the run @ 7:00/mile.
|
| | 4 miles today in about 30 minutes.
|
| | Very slow 4 mile run in approximately 40 minutes. Had a beautiful view looking out over Salt Lake City.

One of these days I am going to have to start doing more than just easy runs.
Over the last 18 months I gained 30 pounds. I have in the last couple of months lost about 15 pounds of that, but I want to lose more before I start doing anything really hard.
| |
| | 4 miles mostly easy with some fast portions mixed in.
|
| | 5 miles @ 7:30/mile pace. I was a cold morning.
|
| | Warm up jog
4 x 1000m at a fast pace with 200m jogging in between. (distances were not exact. I estimated them.)
All running was done on the road. I wish there were a track nearby that I could use. I know that there is a high school not too far from where I am living, but I don't know if I am allowed to use the track.
Cool down jog.
|
| | 5 miles at a moderate pace.
A new friend that I have met here is taking me to lunch today at a place in Salt Lake City called Chuckorama. It is a buffet restaurant. I am looking forward to it, but am afraid I might eat too much. :(
| |
| | Warm up run.
12 x 200m sprints with 200m walking in between.
Cool down run.
|
| | Ran up City Creek Canyon in Salt Lake City this morning. It was the first time in such a long time. It brought back some really good memories. The river was flowing very fast today. I didn't see any animals, but I did see many (about 8) perigrine falcons. I love this run. I definitely need to do it more often. It is my favorite run of all time. My thigh muscles are sore now.
|
| | Did 2 miles very easy and then 3 miles at a fast pace.
|
| | 5 miles at a very easy pace. I don't know why, but I am really having a hard time running at a fast pace and maintaining it.
|
| | 5 miles at a moderate pace. A friend of mine has been trying to teach me how to golf. He took me to a practice range today and we hit a bunch of golf balls.....Hmmm not really sure if I am suited for golf.
|
| | Ran 5 easy miles today. I have really been having trouble connecting to the FRB. I keep getting a message that it is an unsafe site and that the Certification is unvalid. Don't really understand all of that, but I am tired of fighting it, so I probably won't be visiting this site much from now on.
|
| | About 8 miles. Ran from my house to the entrance of City Creek Canyon. Then ran to the 1.5 mile mark and back down. I was 3 minutes faster this week than last. Also felt much easier and I did not get sore today.
There was a lot of water in the river today and I enjoyed listening to the river flow as I ran up the canyon.
Yesterday I had a lot of trouble getting on to the FRB, but seems to be okay today.
|
| | 6 miles at an easy 9 min/mile pace. I am not sure why whenever I go above this pace, I start having trouble breathing.

Went golfing with my friend. I think I have improved a little. I think I know which end of the club to hold now.... :)
|
| | 5 miles at 9:00/mile pace.
I mowed a lawn today for the first time in my life. I don't think it is my favorite thing to do.
|
| | 5 at an easy pace. One of these days I need to start increasing the intensity of my runs.
|
| | Ran from my home to City Creek Canyon and then ran the canyon. I got caught in a rainstorm, but it was fun running the canyon in the rain.
I usually have been running City Creek on Saturdays, but there is a race there tomorrow, so I ran it today instead.
|
| | 3 miles at a vey easy pace. I have decided that starting in June I will step up my training.

I feel more and more confident at going faster.

|
| | 6 miles at about 7:45/mile pace. Felt pretty good.
After running went with my friend to play golf. I am definitely improving, which makes it much more fun.

Slept in again this morning so I didn't have time to run as much as I wanted to.

|

Got a copy of my "Mechanical Engineers Handbook" today. Almost 900 pages of exciting reading. :)
I am really looking forward to starting school this fall.

Went golfing with my friend after running. Had a very good time, and then my friend took me to Harmons at City Creek to do some shopping. It was my first time there. It was a very nice supermarket and very clean (a little expensive though).

As I have been getting faster, I am starting to enjoy running again.
|

Went to the Days of 47 Rodeo last night. It was GREAT! It was the first time for me to see a rodeo. The drone light show and fireworks at the end were unbelievable. I have never seen anything like that before.
|
| | 5 easy miles. It is too hot to be outside running.
|
| | 6 miles easy. It has been so hot recently running outside, so I decided to go to the country rec center and run on the treadmill. I found out while I was running that the air conditioning in the building was broken. It probably would have been cooler to run outside today.
I have only been getting about 5 hours of sleep recently, and together with the heat, my lack of sleep has made running very difficult.
|
| | 6 miles easy. It seems that I am only able to get up the energy to do easy runs.
Played golf this morning.

| |
| | My body was very sore today from yesterday's run.
I ran a very, very easy 5 miles. I was going so slow that I didn't think the run would ever end. The weather was nice and cool. I love it like this. I hope that 100-degree weather doesn't return.
|
| | 10 miles of a mix of fast, moderate and slow portions. Had a very enjoyable run.
