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!! 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

 Run a 5k in under 18 minutes

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

Run sub 16:30 5k

Run sub 9:30 3k

2.5 miles on the Jordan River Trail today with the double stroller. It was windy and one of the tires is low on air, so it took a lot of effort. But I broke 10 minute pace! 9:57average. I'm in no rush to get my miles or speed up right now. I know my body is still recovering from having a baby, and I need to work on getting into a routine now that I've got two babies. Long term I am hoping to run either the Salt Lake 5k or half marathon next April.

My babies went to bed early last night! Meaning I was able to get up early enough to run before Jesse had to go to work. Hoping to keep this schedule going since the forecast looks too cold to be taking the stroller this week.

Ran from home this morning. I ran out on 3200w to 4700s and back, then a little extra to get to 3. Average pace 8:59! Making progress. I'm hoping to adjust my baby's routine so that he gets to bed a little earlier so I can go running earlier in the mornings and have time for longer runs. He sleeps well at night, waking to eat and going right back to sleep, but he likes to keep us up late.

Jordan River trail again, this time we started at a different spot. We saw a snake! And some grasshoppers, and some ducks and geese.

"Long" run in Park City this morning. We sent Ellie on her first sleepover and enjoyed a night in Park City. From the hotel I ran to the trail that I used to do every Saturday in the fall with the Utes :) the fall leaves were beautiful. I ran out 2 miles and back. The way back was rough since it was uphill!

My baby slept through the night last night! Well, from about 12:30 to just before 7. Which is when I set my alarm for a run in the mornings, otherwise I just plan on getting up at 8 and getting ready for work. I ran 3 miles in the rain around the neighborhood.

3 miles in the neighborhood this morning. My baby did awesome last night, sleeping 6.5 hours straight! That plus a morning run means today is going to be great!

Another cold morning run, but it isn't that cold when you're bundled up and running. And because I get up and run in the cold, I don't feel sorry at all for making my P. E. kids run the mile outside. :)

Had to be quick today so Jesse could get to class this morning. 8:27 average pace :) I enjoyed having the day off for UEA. I just wish it could be at the same time as fall break at the U. Oh well. Maybe one day we'll both be done done with school. :)

4 miles in the neighborhood in the dark this morning. It is kind of creepy running in the dark here, I'm seriously thinking about bringing my treadmill home from my parents house, except we are hoping to move soon so I'm hoping that either we will go to a less creepy in the dark neighborhood or that I won't have to move the treadmill twice. But it would also be nice to have so I can run when both kids are napping and I don't have a babysitter.

3.1 in my parents neighborhood. I ran to Sugarhouse park and back, then decided I would go for 3. Then I went out a little extra so it ended up being 3.1.

I was short on time today so I just did a mile out and back in the neighborhood. Not like my runs are usually much longer than this anyway, but I know that if I'm going to seriously plan on doing some races in the spring I've got to start building my mileage. But at the same time, with a new baby in the house and having started working again already, I don't want to be stressed out about training on top of trying to balance everything. In time I'm sure it will get easier and more manageable though.
