No comments...

Firestation loop: It was ok, my legs got a bit tired, but I think I'm getting a little better...

Out to firestation hill, up 3 times and back. Actually felt good while I ran. I think I could've/should've run a bit harder, but I can't change that now... it went well.

From Girl's camp, left and out until top of this one really rocky hill. The altitude was hard on the hills, but it felt good overall.

From GC, right and out past the gate, 'til the top of the hill with an oddly bent tree at the bottom.

Out and to the top of long  sloping hill and back. (GC) Yuk.

Accidentally fell asleep w/o setting my alarm. (GC)

From Koosharem GpaH house out to main road and left for 16 minutes, then back. My left hip and knee don't like me much and the altitude is killing me.

Finally back home at XC! Out to firestation hill, 4 hilils and back. Felt ok, my knee and hip were a bit better, but not great.

Out to Washington Parkway over the top and around through the desert, back to wash elem. Didn't push as hard as I should've, at the last hill to the elem, my hip and knee hurt muchly.

Out to firestation hill, 6 hills and back. It was good, I felt really strong on all the hills, but I wasn't slacking off either.

Oooh! A meet today!! I felt kinda tired the whole race, but I did well. I got 1st place and ran a 21:15, which is 24 seconds better than last year at this course. Yay!

Very tired today, ran with Kalli out to the industrial road turnoff and back. Mostly tried helping her to run better on hills and to have a positive attitude.

Out past yesterday's run to Blue Bunny intersection. Felt good. When I got home, I remembered that I forgot to go run the Washington County Fair 5k this morning. That was sad.

School Begins. Was so hot out! We ran 2x on the DI loop. The first one went well, ok... but the 2nd one was ouchie. I hope I get used to the heat soon. 

We ran the Middle school run (2.5) and once more on the DI run (2). My knee and hop hate me, but weights after went well. I benched 50, squatted 70, did LE at 7 and LC at 9. 3x10 of all.

This morning I ran with Ally, it was fun and fast!

After school we ran the 2450 run (3) connected with the DI loop. I liked it w/o stopping between unlike yesterday and Monday. After, we ran 4x100 strides. Legs are sore but I feel good mostly. At least fast-ish.

Well, today before we ran, coach talked to us about how we can do really well at Region this year and go to state! Then we ran Arctic circle connected with DI. No stops. :) I think I'm getting a bit more used to the heat. 

Fast in morning again.

In the afternoon, I ran with Ally and Erin Riggs. We ran slower so Erin could stay up with us. 'Twas cooler out, so that felt good. 

A meet today!!! Hurricane Invitational. Started out really fast w/Kierstin Blauer (Parawan), and iddn't start me kick early enough to pass 3rd place, so I got 4th. I did get a PR though: 19:33 (5k)! And our team got 2nd place (girls)! Coach's first trophy!!!

Both runs were very fast w/Ally. Morning good.(3)

Afternoon so so hot ow. And 4x100m striders after afternoon practice.

My legs hate me, and that doesn't feel very nice. We did 3 hills at the Sunrise tire hills and I didn't feel so good. I think I should've pushed less crazy hard yesterday.

By myself, I ran out past the stake center out to the electrical sub-station on the edge of the AZ strip and back home.

At Aunt Claudia and Uncle Joe's in Tempe, AZ. Out  to McClintock right down to 2nd light past Warner street and back. I realized today that on long morning runs, at about 5 miles I get hungry... silly. :)

We ran out to Foremaster East Ridge and ran up it 7 times. Then we ran back to the school 3 miles for  the AC and a mile for the hills. Lifter 2 sets of 10 LE and LC (8/10).

Slept in this morning. 

Afternoon, we ran the foremaster run. My lower back hurt a lot when I ran for the first few miles, it got a little better ast I got into it, but when I stopped it hurt more again.

Morning run by myself to loosen up my legs just a mile. 

In the afternoon, we ran Harts to warmup, then we ran 5x800's: 2:55, 2:54, 2:56, 2:55 and 2:54. Cooldown, then Powderpuff Football Game!!

A meet today!! BYU Invite! Ran ok-ish got a 20:57, 41st place that Hannah girl from Cedar beat me again. I didn't feel so good mostly, my left leg is dumb overall. Last year's time was 21.42.

Morning run to AC, way way fast w/only coach. 

Afternoon, we ran to Sunrise Tire, then up Foremaster 7 times. I clocked the hill and it is .22 miles up it. Hills were good, my last ones were especially fast. And then we ran back.

We ran the hospital run, we stopped about halfway to cool down with ice and water (btw, I got new shoes yesterday). Then we finished it out (Ally and I) but she left to go to the lake. Then we ran 6x100 strides and lifted. Bench 50, squat 80, situps/backups 5, LE 8, LC 10. All 3x10.

Morning AC with Ally.

Afternoon we ran big grass loop warmup, then 5x800s on the grass loop. My times were good: 2:51, 2:50, 2:49, 2:49, 2:44. I feel way sore and crappy because I'm getting sick.

We ran the firestation loop from the high school. It was supposed to be a recovery run, but Ally and I ran a bit faster than that. My legs and abs are still way sore and now I'm all congested and sore throat-y. :(

A meet today!! Murray Invite! My favorite course! It rained and the course was all muddy. I fell down on the short, steep dirt/mud hill, and lost the lead pack, but I felt pretty strong (not great, but good) my cold is worse, but I got 28th and 20:47 (better than last week at BYU). Last year's time: none, Freshman year: 23:01.

At Uncle Kent and Aunt Karen's house, all my stuff was drenched, so I couldn't go out and run (no clothes to wear) plus there wasn't much time to with Dad's Silver Beaver thing and driving back home.

AC.

Hospital run in the afternoon. No stops at all! Kinda felt crappy...

We ran out to the industrial block and ran 3x1mile repeats. My times were: 5:30, 5:36 and 5:33. Felt better today, I'm getting over my cold and the weather is so nice! Lifted: B50 S80 LE8 LC10 ABS5.

Arctic Circle, then in PE I ran the mile (5:45).

For practice we ran 4 miles on the Chuck-a-rama run. Ally and I sang songs as we ran!! :)

Meet today! Enterprise! The race went well, I started out with Kierstin Blauer, but she fell behind on the first few hills. I pushed pretty hard and got 1st place! 19:22 - all right.  Our team took 1st place too - boys and girls! Ally got 4th and Lindsay got 10th! AWESOME! Last year - 20:23.

AC in the morning - all by myself.

After school we warmed up, then played ultimate frisbee on the turf field. My team lost, but it was fun.

Race today! Swiss Days 5k! I felt really good, it was cold (40 F) at the start, but ok. My first mile was kinda slow and my second was a little faster, but my third was way fast. I got a new 5k PR - 19:31. First in 15-18 group and second overall.

AC with Coach, Ally's hip is bugging her, so she's taking a week off.

Felt good warming up and going down to the industrial block, but my mile repeats sucked: 5:37, 5:37, 5:40, 5:42. Ran back to the high school. 

We ran our 8 miler today. It's like the hospital run, but longer. I was really tired during the run, and the sandy part in the middle was a killer! Then weights after. I bumped up weights on all: B55 S85 LE9 LC11 ABS10. (Last time lifting.)

Arctic Circle. (Last morning practice!)

In the afternoon, we did some speed work: first we did a big grass loop warmup, then 4x400's w/o stops (1:25, 1:25, 1:25, 1:24) a bigger rest, then 4x200's (38, 38, 38, 37) then big grass loop cool down and partner stretches. I felt like I went slower than I could've/should've gone.

Grass loop plus out to the middle school and back. Just a recovery run, so it was slow. My legs are way sore!

A meet today! Cedar Invitational! Race went ok-ish, my first mile was fast, but my legs were dead and I had a bad attitude for the rest. Time was 19:22, worse than last time here (19:18) but close. And better than last year at this race (19:47). Oh and I got 13th place.

Out past the stake center, down the industrial road and into the Arizona strip a ways and back. Did it in between sessions of General Conference. I felt really fast and good for how crappy I did yesterday. Good run.

We did a big grass loop warmup, then 3x800s (2:49, 2:59, 3:01)on the track w/o stopping in between, only 300m jog between. Then 5 minutes break and 3x400s (1:22, 1:21, 1:16) w/o stopping, only  150m jog between. Then big grass loop cool down and stretches.

In PE we ran the mile. I ran it in 5:44. Then after school, we ran Arctic Circle. We (the girls) tried to stay together mostly... so it went really slow.

Meet today! Pre-Region at Snow Canyon! We had to warm up really fast becuase we only had 15 minutes, but I had a GREAT race! I started out strong  with Hannah from Cedar and accidentally took a wrong turn and ran about 20-30 meters extra and had to re-pass about 10 people. But it made me mad, so I ran really fast! PR! 18:46 and first place! Last year: 19:23.

We ran Arctic Circle then ran 4x150's with 50m jog between.

We did a big grass loop warmup, then 2x1200 (4:39, 4:40), jogging 300m between, then 2x800 (3:00, 3:01) jogging 200m between, then 2x400 (1:22, 1:16) jogging 150 between. and it was raining hard on us the whole time! Then a big grass loop cool down.

I didn't go for a run, but I did run along the marathon course a bit and we played Ultimate Frisbee. It was Sadies, so we were extremely busy all day.

Arctic Circle, way fast party run and 4x100 strides and 800 cooldown.

We ran for 20 minutes and it wasn't very fast, but we went through the Costco car wash!! And the school! Also we had team night and made calf elastics. I wrote "You've done it twice, you can do it again" and "No regrets" on mine.

Meet today! REGION at Hurricane! Whoopee! I started out so fast and took control by 50 meters or so and kept my lead the whole race! PR! 18:29 and Region Champ! Team got 3rd, so we're ALL going to State!!

We ran the Dogpound run, my legs were a bit tired, but w went pretty quickly, I ran with coach and we talked basically the whole time, so it was a really nice run. 

Big grass loop warm up, then some track work: 2x800's (2:49, 2:51), 2x400 (? don't remember, 1:22, 1:18 maybe?) with small jogs and no stops in between. then a big grass loop cool down. I have this 'perma-side-ache' that doesn't feel so nice and I've had it since Region. No fun.

It was raining! Only a little at first, but it got more and more as I went. I went out toward the Stake center, to the Industrial Road turnoff and back. When I got home, my front was soaked and my back was dry. Whoopee!

We ran out to the Green Springs clubhouse and back. I ran so fast, I stayed up with the boys (Zac Z, Josh D, Omar and Coach) until the very last half mile of the run!

From our hotel in Sandy, we ran an easy run around the mall block nearby. It was cold, but we got warm by the end.

A meet today! State at Sugarhouse Park! Pretty good race, I started out way fast and good (not too fast) and led for the first 3/4 mile, then I got passed by a few people the 2nd mile, my 3rd mile I did better and ran pretty well. It was cold. Sixth place and 19:30.4! (3 seconds off school record!)

I've taken a week off and I wanted to run again, so I went out and ran to Harmons and back. I ran really fast and my last 1/2 mile or so I felt really dead. 

My legs are sore today! I went fast still to the Industrial road turnoff and back and I almost sprinted up the last steep hill (fort pierce?) Whewee, I'm  tired.

David came home from his mission today!!

We ran together with coach today, it was the Chuck-a-rama run and I ran so fast again! Yay!

Halloween! :D I did a new run from my house today. i ran to the industrial road turnoff then left around on Brigham road/ River road by little valley to Red Sands market and back home that way. Loop run. 

I ran the Bank/Mall run with coach today, we ran fast. He was clocking miles and we ran 7:00 miles and some faster! My last mile I was way tired out though.

I did the Harmon's run again. Coach told me to take it easier with a faster downhill mile in the middle. Felt pretty good I guess. 

Jeff, coach and I ran Dogpound today, nice and easy. I felt good. I think my legs are getting back in shape. I tripped a bit on a curb and scraped up my knee a bit, haha. 

Race today! Butch Cassidy 10k, my first ever 10k!  Mile warm up, then stretches.  Ran my first 3 miles ok-ish fast, then there were major hills 2nd half but I still did ok. 6:38/mile avg, 41:17 time, 3rd overall and 1st in 15-18 years. I almost got second overall, but I missed it by 8 seconds. Shucks.
