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!!

| | Today I did my run at ballif. I did 10 sets of 2 minutes on 1 minute off just on the flat part of the field. My lower back is really sore. And so is my sacrum. I think tomorrow is going to be a cross training day.

| | 10 sets of 2 minutes on 1 minute off around ballif today. By the end of the last one I was really struggling. But at least I did something. According to this baby week-by-week development calendar I have, the baby is supposed to gain 4 pounds over the next 4 weeks... Running should be really fun! Afterwards I did some hip exercises in the training room. My goal each day will be 3 sets of 10 reps of 3 different exercises.

| | Today I warmed up on the bike for 10 minutes and then went up to the track to run. I was going to do intervals again, but found that I felt much better than yesterday! So I decided I'd keep going as long as I felt good. I got 10 laps in, finishing 3 miles in just over 27 minutes! Afterwards I did hip exercises with a red band in the weight room.

| | This morning I warmed up 10 minutes on the elliptical before heading outside to run. It was super cold, and probably didn't make it any better that I already had sweat for the wind to chill me with. But once I got running it wasn't so bad. I went up to the track for 2.5 miles.

| | Had another prenatal visit today, I've gained about 5 pounds since last month and about 17 total! :) In the evening I went to the fieldhouse to workout. I started with 10 minutes warmup on the elliptical and then did 2 miles on the treadmill. |

| | This afternoon I went to the fieldhouse again for my workout. I think the treadmill aggravated my shins yesterday, so I was going to just do elliptical, but I couldn't resist and after 25 minutes hopped over to the treadmill. Shins hurt worse tonight. I'm wondering if I am just running weird on the treadmill because I am not running up to speed I'd be doing normally? Maybe tomorrow will be just a cross training day... |

| | Today I worked out at the fieldhouse. I biked for 10 minutes and then did 20 on elliptical. I was able to resist running today, but I did walk for 5 minutes on the treadmill when I was done on elliptical. The fan is right in front of the treadmill, and was really alluring after getting all sweaty. Plus I wanted to dry off before going back outside into the cold. Hopefully the people on the machines behind the treadmill didn't mind my aroma being fanned around the gym.

| | I had to do the glucose tolerance test today and it was the worst!!! Never again... A few hours later I felt up to working out, so I ellipticaled for 10 minutes to warmup before going up to the track to run. I did about 16 minutes and then needed to walk, so for the rest of the time I walked the straight parts and ran the curves.
On a random note, I think I really miss racing. Probably because regionals is today, so the team is competing there. Also I had a dream last night where I was running an indoor 5k, but for being pregnant I was allowed to ride a horse. But then I felt bad for having such an advantage over the competition that I rode the horse off the track for a while before coming back to finish the race.

| | I went to the Fieldhouse today with Jesse for some biking. I did 25 minutes and then went and walked on the "track" for about 5 minutes until my legs felt normalish again. | | Add Comment |
| | This morning after yoga I went and got my workout done. I warmed up 10 minutes on elliptical and then hopped over to the treadmill for intervals of 3 minutes run with 1 minute walk. I did 6 sets. |

| | Pool running today! I warmed up 5 minutes and then did 5 sets of 3 minutes hard 1 minute easy, and then 5 minutes cooldown. Later I was grateful to be out of the pool and dry and dressed when we had to evacuate HPER for an alarm that was going off. The swim team was in the middle of their practice and they had to get out of the pool and go outside. | | Add Comment |

| | Today I biked for 15 minutes before hopping onto the treadmill for 6 sets of 2 minutes run 1 minute walk. I think I need to avoid the bike in the future because it seems to hurt my back and hips afterwards. When I was done I had a nice long stretch in the training room and then did some knee, shin, and hip exercises.

| | I picked up my new shoes yesterday! And they feel amazing. For workout today I warmed up for 10 minutes on elliptical before heading outside to run. I felt great today, especially realizing that my first mile was an 8:20! Though I didn't make any effort to maintain this pace, I just let my body do what felt comfortable, which ended up being a gradual decline in speed over the next several laps... I ran for 22 minutes total on the track. :)

| | This morning after yoga I got my workout done. I did 10 minutes on the elliptical and then went up to the track to run. I was short on time and the gate was locked, so I ran the first part up and around to get to the gate on the north side. When I made the turn down into the parking lot, I got side cramps and had to stop and walk. That was at about 2 minutes so I did sets of 2 minute run 1 minute walk. On the last set I left the track and again as I hit the downhill part got a really bad side cramp so ended up just walking. 6 sets total since the last set probably doesn't count.

| | My lower back and pelvis/sacrum were hurting today, but I couldn't resist the beautiful sunshine so after 10 minutes warmup on the elliptical I went up to the track to run. I did sets of 1 minute run 1 minute walk. I noticed during the walking breaks that if I can lessen my lumbar curvature it creates a pelvic tilt that makes the pain stop.

| | The fieldhouse is closed today so I went to Steiner with my mom. I ellipticaled for 30 minutes, and then stretched afterwards. Elliptical is my favorite because it hasn't cause me any pain. Yet, anyway. And I hope it continues to not, because it also is a good workout.

| | Today I went to the fieldhouse and biked for 20 minutes on a reclined bike. Then I ran 1 mile on the treadmill, and then walked a little longer to get 10 minutes total treadmill time.
