Freshman PRs:

      I ran for American Leaderships Academy my freshman year, so I was in 2A and facing much easier competition than I would in higher divisions. I really only did cross country because it would get me in shape for soccer, But when I realized I was actually good at it I made running my number 1 priority. I barely made it to state, but had a bad race and did not place very well. I decided to try a half marathon in November and did pretty good (considering I had only been running seriously for about 4 months.) I started off track running my fastest time in the mile, and didn't get another pr in the mile until state championships. I realized I was better at the 3200 and thats what I have been focusing on since then. At state track I got prs in all 3 distance events, which was a huge confidence booster!

Sophmore PRs:

      My sophmore cross country season went much like last track season. I started off with my fastest time and didn't improve on it until one of the last races. I struggled a lot during this season, I got down on myself after every bad race I had, that was probably my biggest problem. At region I had an absolutely terrible race. We were planning on getting the team qualified for state, and I'm pretty sure it was completely my fault we didn't. Haha yeah it was bad, I ran about a minute slower than what I wanted and got 20th or something. I kept training through to December, did a few races, and had a really succesful race at  Footlocker West. I got 14th in the Frosh/Soph race. Even though I got out kicked by two people in the last 100 I was really pleased, especially after that bad season. I started indoor track running 10:37 and 4:49. Soccer conflicted with track a lot and I think it was really detrimental to my times. I'm thinking about not doing soccer next year and just focusing on track. I had a few good races, and managed to destroy this kid in the last 300 meters at region and make it to state! Unfortunately I let the fact the I was seeded last at the state meet get to my head, and I got last by over a hundred meters. Not only the worst race of the season, but also the most humiliating. On to cross country!

Junior PRs:

     Junior cross country season went well. It was rough but I had some high points. Finally broke 16 for 3 miles at region with 2nd place, broke an hour in the 10 mile and 34 minutes in the 10k. State xc went really bad. I missed my goal time by 40 seconds and my goal place by 25 people. Footlocker wasn't that great, I got the same time as last year and missed my goals on place and time. Trained really hard with high mileage through the winter.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Train consistently and have some good races in the next few months. It would be nice to break 15 in the 5k soon as well.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Get on BYU's XC team after my mission sometime. I also want to run under 29 for 10k and 14 for 5k but we'll see!

We did a lot of hiking today, which I think probably adds up to 5 miles. I ran a little during one of our hikes, and my legs were on fire! It felt great though.

3 miles of soccer in the morning, including conditioning.

Track workout after school. 800 warm up, then 3x1000 at 3:10 per. Pretty happy with this workout. I stayed with Heston on every one, except the last one when he out kicked me. My legs felt noodly after, and they got really sore. 1200 cool down.

Track workout. I didn't get a chance to warm up at all, which was super stupid of me. We did a 400 200 100 200 400 close to sprinting. I stayed with Heston on all of them except the 100 and the end of the 400. I need to work on my kick. Overall it was good, but I really needed to warm up before, because I think I came really close to getting injured. Mile cool down.

5 mile run later.

After school I ran 4 more miles, easy pace, just trying to rest up for the buy indoor meet tomorrow. I'm doing the 3200, hoping for sub 10.

1 mile of soccer in the morning. 

I warmed up for 2 miles right when I got there, then tried to jog around in the bull pen. Stretched and did some drills. I was in the faster heat, which I was happy about. I didn't like the track very much, but it was alright. I was seeded 14th in my heat, so when we lined up I was in the second row. The gun went off and I had a little bit of a slow start, so I went right back to second to last. I wasn't expecting to be up front, but I didn't want to be so far back. I stayed where I was for a while, and then started moving up. I was 5:05 at the mile, so that was too fast. With a lap and a half to go I started to fall off the group of three that I had stuck with for most of the race. On the last lap I didnt really put a ton of effort into my kick. With about 180 to 200 meters left, this kid flew passed me and  I didn't expect it at all. I let him get a few meters ahead, then I started my sprint, but it was far too late by then. I finished in 10:33.86, almost a ten second pr, so I'm really happy about that. I wanted a time like 10:10, but 10:33 is ok. 2 mile cool down afterward.
