"Train insane or remain the same."

One mile warm up on the turf (shoutout to the boys for warming up with me) then we did a two mile circuit workout on the turf. We did a lot of exercises to work legs, arms, and core. Circuit workouts are definitely one of my favorites because I feel like I get a lot done. Afterwards I did 2.5 to finish up to high mileage with Bill. It was a little bit warmer than last week so that was amazing. Also I think I did a total of 60push ups so it's ok if you're intimidated by my biceps tomorrow cuz they are swol. And since its November I better say that I'm #grateful that I have a healthy enough body that I'm even able to run (since I've been mostly injury free for about a year now) that's pretty much the best.

Mile warm up on the turf, then ran to the cemetery and did 2.5 barefoot on the grass, then ran back to the high school. It was kinda chilly today which is unfortunate but overall it was a good run, lots of time to think about life and such. Oh and to keep up tradition I'm #grateful for warm clothes so that I can run without freezing to death

Cross training today-went to the pool, started out with 50free easy for a warm up, then a 500free, on the odd 25's I changed how often I breathed (every 2 strokes,then every 3, etc. til I hit every 6 strokes then worked my way back down-on the even 25's I took a breath every 2 strokes for recovery) then I did a 500 where I did 50 aqua jog 50free 50 aqua jog 50kick til I hit 500. (It ended up being 3 sets of 50aqua jog 50free and 2 sets of 50aqua jog 50kick) then I did an easy 50free for a cool down.

Before I hit the pool I talked to Jamie about goals and such for track season. I'm a little nervous about some of them but for the most part I feel confident and ready to kick it into gear. It was definitely a good talk and I'm getting pretty excited for the season, especially since its my last one!

Shout out to Austin because he came and did the 2nd half of the workout with me (he already biked today that's why he only did half) and to the lil sis cuz she came with as well, and to Watson because she's the best and because she wore a sick jacket today.

And today I am #grateful for the water aerobics belts so that I don't drown when aqua jogging. Truly I am blessed.

We had a speed workout today so we warmed up to the grass above the cemetery and the workout was 3×(100, 200, 300) at two mile pace (6-6:10) up the Airport Dr. hill, with rest being the run back down the hill, and after the 300 an easy recovery lap on the grass. During each set I tried to focus on staying with the pack and being there mentally. I felt really strong and didn't separate myself physically or mentally with the other girls which is something I sometimes struggle with. It was a really good workout and I'm definitely happy with it.

It was freezing cold today but no worries I wore two jackets, running tights, and gloves so by the middle of the second set I started to warm up sufficiently. Hopefully adding a few layers will help me prepare for the heat in Arizona, which I am extremely excited for!

Shout out to Jamie because she ran with us today which is always the best. And today I am #grateful for hot chocolate because sometimes that's the only thing that makes me feel warm

It was pre meet so I warmed up a mile on the turf then ran up to the cemetery where we did our 800 (3:05) my legs were feeling pretty heavy from the speed workout but that's ok-it was slightly Lester chilly than the day before so we can call that success.

Shout out to my mom cuz it's her birthday and she rocks it! And that means that I am obviously #grateful for my mom and all the support she give me!

The girls race was at 8:30,we warmed up at like 8:00 because it was so cold outside. We started out the race and I got boxed in for a minute but after rounding the first sharp corner I was able to get out. During the first mile I felt really good, I didn't see any of the other girls (we got separated at the beginning) so I just tried to run my race and stay with the people around me. Second mile I kinda lost it for a minute-I couldn't really breathe very well and I was super cold especially my hands and legs-so that mile wasn't very good. Last mile I got back into focus and tried to work on sticking with the pack just in front of me. I held onto them pretty good and then Kaylee caught up with about 800 and we ran most of the last bit together, I lost her for a minute on the track coming in to the finish, but I finally convinced my legs to sprint and came in just milliseconds behind her. Overall I am pleased with how I raced and I can't wait for NXR to try and improve some more!

Shout out to the fam for bringing me hot chocolate and croissants at work, they're the best. And today I'm #grateful for wool socks because they keep my toes warm and toasty.

Well I made the smooth move of leaving my shoes at home today-and there's been some construction going on so the field has been locked up. So I ended up with all my mileage on the turf today which equals like 20somethin laps. Real pleasant. But it did feel nice on the legs and the feet so really it was a good thing. Afterwards I got some good abs in and stretching, witnessed a couple fights and practiced my headstand. So it was certainly a productive day.

Shoutout to Watson, Butters, Mario, Megan, and Collin because they ran with me on the turf. Gotta love em. And even bigger shout out to Coach G because she actually had her baby today! Pretty exciting! And today I'm #grateful for my team today because they really are the best!

We did whistle hills today and let me tell ya, it was cold! But I felt really good during the workout and I was warm for the most part except for the hands #circulationprobs overall it was a pretty good run, I got some good abs and stretching in so that's nice. Currently I am killing it at work keeping people alive and such...shoutout to Austin cuz he's here doing his workout. And today I'm #grateful for the water aerobics ladies so that I have music to listen to at work

Cross training-400free warm up then 10×(25aqua jog 25free) 15sec rest between each set then 5×(100kick) and 100free cool down. Shoutout again to Austin for coming with me and to my Dad for making me a wonderful grilled cheese (bounty hunter or pro chef?) And today I'm #grateful for the nice guy who let us share a lane with him at the pool today, he's probably the nicest person on earth.

Speed workout today-1600 1200 800 400 200 200 starting at 5k pace and dropping 5sec per 400 pace each set. Splits ended up being 6:22 4:41 2:54 81 35 35. I felt really good during the workout mentally and physically. We hit all our paces pretty much right on and everyone's looking really strong. Later tonight we had a team dinner and read some pretty heartfelt letters so shoutout to Jamie for that idea. And today I'm #grateful for all of our Veterans who do so much for our country.

Just easy distance run today for recovery. We went out where we've never been before so that was fun. Then I headed home and got prepped and ready for Sadies. Huge shoutout to Thom for being a fantastic date and killing it at the dance! And today I'm so #grateful for my wonderful friends who are always so nice and fun to be around. Good times :)

Sick run with Guppy today, we climbed a true stump taller than the two of us put together, found a giant tree that had been struck by lightning, and found a secret tree house so I'd call it a success! Today I'm #grateful for my running shoes to protect my feet while I'm running.

Pretty sure I almost died today that snow was rough. Pretty much my face was numb and my ears and my hands and my legs. But no worries it was still a good run because we made it into a grateful run. Basically we listed all of the things we're grateful for so I'm feeling pretty good. This one comes from Butters today but I think pretty much everyone is #grateful for warm hugs especially on cold days like today.

Easy low distance today, had a really good talk with Watson, did four strides after and some abs. And today I'm #grateful for the mountains

100m freestyle warm up then 3×(5min free 5min aqua jog) and 50m breaststroke cool down. #Grateful for my family because they are always watching out for me

Left at 6:45ish for Arizona. Stopped just after the bridge and got a run in, just an easy four. The way out we ran along the highway and it was super sketch so we ran back through the golf course. It was super pretty so that was sick. #Grateful we made it to Arizona safely.

Slept in and spent a nice relaxing day chilling by the pool (in the shade and no swimming of course) we had chipotle for lunch (kids meals rule!) and at 3:30 we ran the course, we did the last 800 at 5k pace and did some strides. Everybody was feeling super good and ready for the race. Afterwards we bought some sick shirts and went to the pasta dinner where we me Shelby Houlihan which was fantastic. Back at the hotel we took a wonderfully cold ice bath and elevated the legs. #Grateful for pasta dinners to fill me up with some serious carbs

Race day! We didn't quite make it into the championship race so we were in the large open schools race. Got to the course at about 8:00, started warming up around 8:10 did an easy mile and got in some stretches and ate the Snickers. Got to the line and did a few strides, prayer, cheer, then we were ready to go. The gun went off and we all got out pretty quick. First mile went by really fast, I didn't go up by Watson and the other girls because they usually go out too fast for me but I kept them in my sights. Second mile I focused on catching other girls and moving up. I threw in some surges after most of the curves. I was feeling really strong and I was holding a good pace. Third mile I just kept trying to hold my pace, with 800 to go I kinda lost it mentally and slowed down a lot. But after about a 400 I whipped it back into shape. My kick was really strong and I passed quite a few people so I'm pleased with that. Also I got a new PR so that's sick! As a team we took 4th in our race and I'm super proud of how we all preformed. I absolutely loved this course and the whole trip was a blast! Shoutout to our boys team because they also did really well and huge shoutout to Gups for taking second overall! Also I held my own against Collin in rock paper scissors (where you slap the person's hand who loses) in the end we called it a draw but I think I coulda won it (the bruise on my hand was prime) and I'm #grateful for such an amazing opportunity I had to come down and race it really was amazing!

Easy low recovery today. My legs are quite sore which is weird considering they weren't yesterday. Anyways after a half mile warmup we just went over the overpass and took a right til we went out two and then came back. Afterwards we did 15min of abs with 7 pushups between each min plus 2 extras to make an even 100 #getswoll then some good stretching and powerballs at Thoms. Shoutout to Connor because he beat me in an arm wrestle (watch out cuz I'm gonna be even better next time) and shoutout to all the girls who wore their hats today and to Watson cuz it's her birthday and Mama Heaps for the powerballs. #Grateful it didn't snow today

We did the Turkey Workout today so basically 6×500 where the first 400 was at 5k pace and we sprinted the last 100. My 400 splits were 90,91,93,93,87,87 so we were ahead of pace but it felt really good. Afterwards 10mins of abs. On a side note today in sociology we watched a documentary on people living in extreme poverty in Guatemala and it really put things in perspective so today I'm #grateful that I grew up where I did and with the family I've had

Swim Workout-500free warm up then 25free 25jog 50free 50jog 75free 75jog 100free 100jog then 400kick and 100free cool down. #Grateful for Thom and Austin who came and did the workout with me

Didn't sign up for a turkey trot so half mile warm up then 12×1min pickups with 1min active rest then finished up to 4.5 then 15min of abs. Shoutout to Guppy for running with me! And to finish out nicely on Thanksgiving I am #grateful for all the people who've been a positive influence on my life-my family my friends my team my coaches etc. Thanks for everything you do, love you all!

Easy low mileage on the Jordan River trail with Guppy. Really windy and cold but it was really pretty so that's ok

It snowed! So everything was super pretty for our run this morning. We met at the high school and me and Guppy went up to the cemetery then down towards the SOLW and then past Trafalga and back to the HS. We ran into Thom while we were finishing up on the track and he did a lap with us so that was sick. Then we headed over to Connors for some waffles so shoutout to his mom for making those! Definitely a great start to the day

Easy distance, did the Lowe's loop, kinda cold but not bad. 15min abs. Good stuff.
