Half-Marathon - 1:24:30.56 (Handcart Days)

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

Make it to Footlocker National Championships 

Make it to nationals 

Run sub 16:30 5k

Run sub 9:30 3k 

Break the school record in the 10k

Break the school record in the 5k 

Long-Term Running Goals:

4 miles in the neighborhood this morning. I'm looking forward to daylight savings next week so it won't be so dark in the mornings when I go for my run!

Ran from my parents house again, this time it was afternoon instead of evening so I went longer. I ran to Sugarhouse, did a lap around the perimeter, and back.

Ellie started putting her shoes on when she saw me putting my running shoes on so I decided I would let her come with in the stroller. She was excited about it until I told her to say bye to Daddy. Oops. After wrestling my crying toddler to get buckled into the stroller, we were off. She didn't cry long, thankfully. The single Bob feels effortless after trying the double Bob with car seat!

Thank you daylight savings for letting it be light for morning runs! And thank you Jesse for watching the kids in the mornings so I can run.

Went running from my parents house today.  I got my ballot in the mail a few weeks ago but didn't fill it out until today, so for my run I ran to the Marriott library to drop it off.  It sure felt nice walking past everyone in line since I was just there to drop off my ballot!  It's also nice to be able to combine errands into my run, especially while the kids are at the babysitter, since getting them in and out of the car is a hassle!

This morning I ran 4 miles in the neighborhood.  Sometimes, I wear my reflective vest even when it is already light out to make it look like I've been out running longer. :)

Ran from my parents' house again.  This time I ran over to Sunnyside, up to Foothill, and down to Guardsman and back to their house.  Running on Foothill isn't so bad after not having run it in months!

Evening run with Jesse in the neighborhood :)  And core.  We made it a goal to do 100 reps of core a day.  It's not a lot, but from coming off of a second baby it is a good start.

Another run from my parents house.  Tank top and shorts weather in November is so nice!!  I enjoy being able to catch some running in the sun since I missed it this summer.  But growing baby Elden is way more important than running :)

Ran from my parents house in the afternoon. I'm so glad I can come up and have them babysit and be able to run some of my old routes! (Even if most of my old routes are really 10 miles long so I only catch little pieces 😬)

Left Ellie at grandma's house for a sleepover and went up to Park City for the night with some family. We went on a run in the morning, guess who went the farthest 😊 I ran down to Rail Trail. I thought it was super cold to be out running but then I saw someone swimming in an outdoor pool and thought I'm not that crazy after all.

Morning run in the neighborhood again. I didn't know it would be my last in our West Valley neighborhood, we signed a new lease last night and started moving!

2 miles on the treadmill at my parents house. Moving sucks, it took me this long to find my running shoes, but I'm not even sure if these are the newest pair. I'm hoping my newer ones will show up as we start unpacking, I wasn't home when my running shoes got packed 😩 But I probably need new ones anyway. After 5 years of being a runner at the U it will be my first time having to buy my own again. Fortunately, Amazon has them way cheaper than running stores do.
