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!!

| | Only in Utah can you go from wearing shorts and a t-shirt for your run to long tights and gloves and hat the next day. I started running with Andrea, Becky, Nikki, Dana, and Kenzie. We ran to 11th Avenue. By City Creek it was just Becky and me. We ran down to Memory Grove and through it over to the stairs on 4th Avenue. At the top we ran back to campus along 4th Avenue and then finished through campus to west hper to end at 8 total. |

| | This afternoon I went running with Jessica and Becky. We started on the fruit loop route, then went through the golf course up to Wasatch Drive. Becky was with us part of the way, but I was doing 10 miles with Jessica so we kept going. We turned on Thunderbird onto Foothill and kept going on the paved trail, which wasn't that bad to run on since the snow was still powdery, almost to the first overpass. We turned around there and then ran on Foothill until 1700s. There we cut down to 1900e and then took that back to campus. The run was really nice when we started, but at some point on the way back to campus it got miserably cold. But we survived!

| | Today I started my run with Hilary, Lauren, Becky, Kenzie, and Jessica. We did Trax! When we got to 11th Avenue Becky and I picked up our pace and separated from the group, but Becky turned early since I think her IT band was bothering her. I continued on my own down City Creek and into Memory Grove. I got to the Trax station just as the train was coming, so I just missed meeting back up with the other girls at the station. But I'm glad I made that train rather than freezing while waiting on the train platform!

| | Today I ran Trax again! This time with AuraLea :-) we went the longer way, staying in City Creek all the way to the capitol, then doing a lap behind temple square needle going to the library Trax station. Our timing was great, the train came in less than a minute. |

| | This morning it was 'warm' enough to not have to wait for the afternoon to go running! I did the cemetery loop from my house, not going in the cemetery though. On the way I saw someone carrying an owl!

| | Today I started on my run with Becky, Jessica, and Lauren. We ran out on Foothill to 2100s, then down. Becky turned at 1500e, I continued on to 1300e. The other girls went to 700e with the plan of catching Trax back to campus. We were supposed to do hill strides today, so I did mine when I got to 500s on the way back up to the locker room. I saw Becky again at the light on Guardsman. Not sure how that worked out but it is Becky so who knows :-P I did my drills in the hall when I got back and then stretched in the locker room. After running in the cold is the only time that the temperature in there is acceptable!

| | "Susannah sprained her ankle doing pull-ups" was the text Kep got from our lifting coach this morning. That's a hard one to picture, but that wasn't how it happened. After I had done my 1 pull-up, I stepped weird coming down off of the bench onto the platform and rolled my ankle pretty bad. Hanah came to my rescue and helped me hobble into the training room where I spent the rest of the lifting hour with my ankle elevated going on ice and stem for 20 minutes. I can put weight on it, which is fortunate, so no boot or crutches! After my classes I went up to the HPER training room to ice and stem again and then do some ROM, light stretching and rehab before icing again. Later I went to the fieldhouse to bike. After 10 minutes my ankle was tingly, but Hanah said I could keep going. At 20 it kinda started to hurt, so I called it at 30. Iced again afterwards. Will probably pool run tomorrow. | | Comments(2) |
| | Day 2 of rehab. I iced before class, pool ran after class and iced again before going to my next class, iced again before rehab after that class, and once more when rehab was done. My pool workout was 5 minutes warmup, 8 sets of 2 minutes on 1 minute off, and 5 minute cooldown. My ankle is super swollen so I have it wrapped, but it didn't hurt as bad as yesterday. Heather says the bruises will probably start showing up tonight. :-P

| | I can walk mostly pain free now! And the swelling has gone down a little bit. Still no bruises. I went to lifting this morning, did most of the exercises with few alterations, then went running on the underwater treadmill! It was my first time and I thought it would probably be boring since I assumed it would be like pool running but in treadmill form. But it was actually way cooler and I wasn't bored the whole 39 minutes I was in there. Having the underwater cameras was cool so I could see my form and make sure I wasn't favoring or anything. After I finished that I iced and stemmed. In the afternoon I did more treatment and rehab.

| | Iced this morning before class, did normatech and rehab afterwards. Then I biked for 45 minutes. My ankle started to hurt at 35 minutes, then it came and went for the last 10. Iced again afterwards. The swelling has mostly gone away.

| | This morning I went to the fieldhouse to bike. I warmed up for 10 minutes and then did a ladder starting with 1 minute and increasing 1 minute up to 4 minutes once and then back down, 1 minute recovery between each. It is a workout from Pfitzinger's pool workout calendar so I'm not sure how well it carried over as a bike workout but I figure going for time is a safe bet. I cooled down to finish with 45 minutes total and then did some abs.

| | This morning I went and got my rehab done with Hanah and then went to the fieldhouse for a bike workout. I warmed up for ten minutes and then did six sets of 2:30 on with :30 recovery. Halfway through some girl going to use a treadmill turned off the community fan! So when I hit my recovery time I ran up and turned it back on. :) I cooled down 12 minutes to finish at 40. Iced my ankle afterwards. I am probably going to try running on Wednesday. | | Add Comment |
| | This morning after lifting I ran for one hour on the underwater treadmill. The bruising on my ankle finally showed up :-P jumping for my rehab yesterday aggravated it so it was painful and a little more swollen today. Still going to try running tomorrow with an ankle brace. | | Add Comment |
| | I went solid ground running today! Sort of, it was on the treadmill but it was still running! Hanah gave me an ankle brace and had me go on the treadmill so she could check on my and see that I wasn't limping or anything. I ran for half an hour, then did another 15 minutes on the bike.

| | This morning I went to the oval with Abigail. I was excited to not be running on the treadmill, until on our first lap we realized the back stretch of the track was closed since they were doing maintenance. That explained why there were speedwalkers in lane 1 going clockwise. We turned at the first set of cones, then were rebels and did a whole lap :) But after that we just did back and forth... I warmed up with Abigail 15 minutes for her workout, then continued to 40 minutes on my own. I saw a lot of people I knew there; Bill, Tomy, Dakota, Chris, my physiology professor, and as I was finishing I saw Ben and Emma. When I finished running I did my rehab and then iced. I only use the brace for running now, hopefully in a few more days I will be running without it!

| | After opening presents and visiting grandma, and before going to my cousins' house I got my run in. I ran over to 2100s up to 2300s and down 1300s to home. My ankle kinda hurt going up 23rd, I figure it was because of the slight incline. It didn't hurt down 13th. Did my rehab afterwards and then to ice I laid on the sidewalk with my foot in the snow. It sorta worked except that my ankle was melting the snow it was in contact with :-P |

| | I did my first workout today since November! It was hard :-P I warmed up to Wasatch Drive and then got right to the workout (strides and drills are optional for the first few workouts). The workout was three sets of 7 minute threshold with 2 minutes recovery and then five 25 second strides. The first 7 minutes I felt the effort was there, but my pace was not up to speed. The second set was hard, so I called it quits at that one and just did my strides. My ankle felt ok, but getting up to speed I could feel pain behind my lateral malleolus. Afterwards I feel sore on my injury spot.
