In my freshmen year, I lettered in both track and cross country. I also got the Rookie of the Year Award in cross country, and the Freshmen of the Year Award in track. At regions for XC I was 7th. At state I was 65th. In track at regions I placed 3rd in the mile and 2nd in the 2 mile. At state I was 17th in the mile and 13th in the 2 mile.
Sophomore year I was a cross country captain and I lettered again. I was 3rd at regions and 12th at state. At track regions I was 3rd in the mile and the 2 mile. I also anchored the winning medley relay team.
Junior year I got a stress fracture about a month before the cross country season started, but made a great comeback with a 2nd place finish at regions. At state I placed 6th, and I broke 19 minutes for the second time in my racing history. Team captain again. In track I shattered my old PRs and was doing well until I got a stress reaction. After 3 weeks off I built my strength back up and performed well at state, earning 4th in the 1600 and 5th in the 3200. After that, I was invited to the Great Southwest Track Meet in Albuquerque, where I took 5th.
My senior year in cross country I was a captain again, this time with Amanda and Natalie. This season I was injury free so I got to run competitively at invites. At state I took 3rd. At Footlocker Western Regionals I outkicked a girl on the track to finish 10th, which qualified me for nationals the next weekend. I beat both of the girls who had beat me at state in that race. At nationals I took 22nd and beat 6 of the girls who had beat me at regionals. Going into the outdoor season the first Invitational I attended was the Davis Super Meet where I qualified for state in the 1600 and the 3200, and I broke the meet record for the 3200 in an 11:01.29, the previous record was an 11:17. I had a strong finish to my senior season and finally claimed a state title. I ran the fastest 1600 and 3200 at state for any division, claiming the double crown in those events, and earning the athlete of the year award :) Now in college, I run for the University of Utah. I lettered my freshman season of cross country, and made it to regionals in the 5k in track. Sophomore year I improved in cross country. In track I raced the 1500, 5k, 800, 10k, and the mile of the DMR before repeating the 5k at conference and then the 10k at regionals. Placed 28th behind a lot of seniors... so nationals next year!!

| | My goal was to do between 2-2.5 miles around bailiff today. I walked over there and ran a mile but again felt uncomfortable stretching on my lower abdomen right at the mile so I stopped. I walked 3 more laps at bailiff before going in to bike for 10 minutes. I might have to be done running soon with all of the changes that my body is going through. But I need to listen to my body.

| | Giselle got cleared to try running today! And she was going to do alternation walking and running, so I went with her. We went to bailiff and did five sets of 2 minutes running with 1 minute walk. We were done a little early for the pool to be open, so we went to the weight room for just a few minutes. I did some shoulders with a 10 pound plate and then walking lunges with dumbells, band walks, and single leg RDLs. Then we went pool running. I went for 20 minutes. |

| | This morning after yoga I went for my run/walk. I was just going to go around bailiff, but there was golf class going on so I wasn't going to get in the way of their driving range... I did 2 laps on the upper part for warmup before heading out on the road above the track. I ran up to the JCC and got on Shoreline heading back towards the dorms. At Red Butte I turned and ran back down and to Legacy Bridge to finish with 3.5 total.

| | I went running with Giselle this afternoon! She was doing 5 sets of 2 minute on 1 minute off again. I made it through sets 1-4, but on the 5th set I had to walk early. Her pace is too fast for me :-P But I'm glad to see her coming back so strong after being confined to cross training for as long as she has been! After walking between 2-3 minutes I picked up the running again, much slower, and was able to go the rest of the way to 30 minutes without stopping!

| | I warmed up on the ballif with three sets of the 2 minute on 1 minute off and then ran the last 21 minutes without stopping! I ran on the road above the track and up around the new PCMC parking structure and the end of the Trax line and made it a loop back down to ballif for the last few minutes.

| | Don't remember exactly what I did today but I'm pretty sure it was running around ballif for half an hour. I think I did three interval warmup sets and then continuous running until I was at 30. |

| | This morning I went running at Wheeler farm. I was going to do intervals warmup again but lost track of time on the first one and ended up just running the entire time. In just over 30 minutes I made two laps! :-) |

| | Headache + nausea + vomiting this morning = guess who didn't go for a run today. | | Add Comment |
| | This morning I went running with Giselle again :-) today she was doing 3 minutes on with 1 minute walk. She originally wanted to do 5 sets, but felt great so threw in another set at the end. I did the last 6 minutes on my own to finish with 30. This afternoon Jesse and I got another ultrasound! Our baby girl is in the 63rd percentile for size for her gestational age! It is comforting to know she is able to grow and I can keep running. ♥ |

| | This morning I went and watched my team do their workout at Sugarhouse Park. Then I joined then for their cooldown lap around the perimeter. I was able to keep up with Hannah, Sarah, Shaylen, and Sadie for most of the lap, just falling behind when we turned heading back east on the south side of the park. I finished 15 minutes with them and then did 3 sets of 3:30 run with 1:30 walk to finish.

| | Pool running today. I did 7:30 warmup followed by 5 sets of 2 minutes hard 1 minute easy, then 7:30 cooldown. | | Add Comment |
| | I went for my run at Wheeler farm today. I did 7 sets of 3 minute run with 1:30 recovery. On the walk part of my first one I was thinking I was feeling shin splints on my right side, but thought that would be impossible given how few miles I am doing and how I am avoiding pavement. Then I remembered the Charlie horse I got in my right calf last night... and it made sense. I stretched it after the second set of running and it felt better after that. |

| | Despite throwing up this morning, I was determined to run today! After second breakfast, Jesse and I went to Wheeler farm to run/photobomb people's family portraits. Two photographers actually took our picture when Jesse called out "Photobomb!" We did 2 laps around the perimeter, 9:30 average pace. After we got home I took a much needed nap!

| | Not feeling that great today. Walking 3 flights of stairs to anatomy had me out of breath for just about the whole class time. For my run I did five sets of 2 minute run 1 minute walk, and then three sets of 4 minute run 1 minute walk.

| | Today I went running with Giselle around ballif. Today she was doing reps of 5 minutes on with 1 minute off. Sounded tough, but I hung in there and kept up with her! We did 4 sets together and then I did 1 more set on my own to finish with 30 minutes total. And I got farther than I have in a while in 30! 8:42 average pace (I don't stop my watch on the walking part).
Also I am starting to shop for baby joggers and wouldn't mind getting a used one, if anyone knows someone who is looking to sell in the next few months! Or if anyone has found them in black Friday deals before let me know which ads to watch for! :)

| | This afternoon I went to Sugarhouse park to watch the state meet so I ran around there. Got 30 minutes mostly running, didn't do intervals but just ran to different parts of the course.

| | I went running with Giselle again today. I made it through 3 sets of 5 minute run 1 minute walk with her, then on the next set I needed an extra minute walk, and the rest of the sets up to 30 minutes total were broken up as needed. I think I ended up with a 3, 2, and 1 minute set to finish.

| | Pool running workout today. I warmed up 5 minutes and then did 1 minute hard 1 minute easy, 2 on 1 off, 3 on 2 off, and repeating the 3 on 2 off and back down.

| | 30 minutes at Wheeler Farm today. I made it further than the 2 laps! So I went ahead and added on to finish with 3.5 total, took 30:49. I think eating burritos for breakfast instead of oatmeal this week has really helped, today I felt better than I have in a while.

| | Today I went running with Giselle. She is up to sets of 6 minutes on 1 minute off. I was able to keep up for the first 2 sets, but she got distance on me in the third and fourth and circled back to me for the walking part. Did a set of 2 minutes at the end to get to 30 minutes total.

| | Clogged sinuses today so I decided a pool run would probably be better than running out in the cold and the impact of running. I warmed up 5 minutes and then did 10 sets of 1 minute hard 1 minute easy, followed by 5 minutes cooldown.

| | Today I felt like running uphill, so I ran from the lockerroom up past the dorms and up the road by Red Butte to the gate. That took about 17 minutes, then I stretched for a few minutes before heading back down. I knew running downhill probably wouldn't be good for my back, but I did it anyway. It hurt later.

| | I ran up to the fence at Red Butte again. But today I walked back down. It took 17 minutes to run up, 28 minutes to walk down, and then I did 13 minutes on elliptical to get 30 total of cardio.

| | Today I went running with Giselle. She was doing 9 minute sets. I did the first one with her, then took an extra minute recovery so my next set was 8 minutes. Then another 2 minute recovery and the last 7 minutes on the track so we could watch the sprinters do their annual Halloween relay :) It was odd not getting to do our distance runners Halloween run this year, but for conference I guess we can make an exception...
