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!!

| | 15 minutes warmup on the elliptical and then run/walking on the track. I did 7 sets of 2:10 run :50 walk. My back hurt a lot afterwards, going to be taking the next few days easy.

| | This morning I did 20 minutes on elliptical and decided I would run on the treadmill afterwards since I was feeling pretty good :) On the treadmill I did 4 sets of 2 minute run 1 minute walk. I think I can definitely feel the extra weight bearing down on my pelvis. But the sacrifice is totally worth it :)

| | This morning after yoga I got my workout in. I ellipticaled for 15 minutes and then went outside to run. Both gates to the track were locked, and I considered jumping the fence, but decided that would probably be worse than just running on the concrete. I made a loop over to North Campus and up to Mario Capecchi and down by the Trax station, running 2 minutes and walking a minute.

| | I went to the fieldhouse today to get a pre-final de-stressor workout in, but was surprised when getting upstairs to see that most of the equipment was gone! I suppose they may be moving it to the new student life center, which opens in January, but I think it would have been nicer if they had waited until after finals week was over... Luckily there was an elliptical available, so I just did that for 30 minutes. On the way out, I noticed a sign about an equipment sale that said machines purchased must be picked up by the end of the week, and again think it is odd they would do that during finals week... Oh well.

| | I finally felt well enough to get up and exercise! Today Jesse and I went to the oval to workout. We started on the bikes, but they were extremely uncomfortable, and after enduring 12 minutes I hopped off and we went running instead. We did sets of 2 minute run 1 minute walk until we had 30 minutes total. |

| | Got a pass to the rec center today because it is more convenient than the oval and I noticed it on my way to 24 hour fitness and realized it was closer. I biked for 10 minutes and then ellipticaled for 20. | | Add Comment |
