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

This morning (or almost afternoon rather) it was 48 degrees outside so I was excited to go for a run!  I ran to the East track for warmup and then did 4 laps of speedchanges going clockwise.  Then I stretched for a few minutes before starting the workout.  Today it was four sets of two 200s and an 800.  I took 200 recovery after the 200s and 400 recovery after the 8s.  My times were 34, 37, 2:52 for the first set; 38, 40, 2:50 for the second; 40, 40, 2:53 for the third; and 40, 40, 2:52 for the final.  I ran back home for cooldown.

Today for my run I ran up to 1500e and then to Sugarhouse.  I did part of a counterclockwise lap in the park and exited at 1700e.  When I got back to 2100s I continued on the same route I ran on Saturday night.  The weather was nice today, I was able to go out in just a t-shirt and shorts!

This morning after going to the temple with RJ and Amanda, I went to the track and did a workout.  I ran there are did 4 laps of speedchanges for warmup, and then I stretched and changed into my spikes.  I had in mind to do four 1200s.  On the first one I hit 4:22, then took 2 backwards recovery laps, and then on the second one I hit 4:30.  I decided that I didn't want to finish with 1200s so I changed the rest of the workout to two 800s and two 400s so that I could get some quicker turnover stuff in.  On the 800s I hit 2:54 and 2:52 (with a 4 second negative split on the second one, I was happy) with a lap recovery each.  Then on the 400s I hit 1:20 and 1:19 and had a lap recovery after each.  I felt better about the 800s and 400s even though the times are not up to speed.  But I'll get there.  Before I changed shoes and ran home for cooldown, I did countdown abs on the grass which was mostly dry.  Again it was a beautiful day!  I wouldn't mind if it were like this the rest of January :)

This morning I started my run by going north on 1300e to 900s and then down to 900e.  I went south next until I hit a red light at 1700s, where I went back east since I didn't want to stop.  At 1000e I went south again to 2100s, but when I hit 1100e I hit another red so I went back to 1700s on 1100e.  I ran up to 1300e and when I got there the light turned green for me so I kept going up :) I thought about turning left onto 1600e and then maybe cutting up to 1700e and then going down Harrison to get home, but I didn't think that would be long enough to get me to 6 miles so I went up to 1900e instead.  I went down Harrison and hit 6 about 2 blocks from my house so I just walked the rest of the way.  It was another great shorts and t-shirt day and I enjoyed it :)

This morning I did another workout.  I ran to the track and did 4 laps of speedchanges for warmup.  I ended up dropping the long-sleeved shirt I had brought because it felt warmer than what I had read on the thermometer right before leaving, it probably warmed up as I ran there too.  I stretched for a minute and then changed shoes.  I decided that I was going to do ten 400s with a lap recovery in the opposite direction for each.  My times were 1:19, 1:21, 1:17, 1:17, 1:16, 1:17, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, and 1:18.  I felt very positive today and I was very happy when I got to a 1:17 for the third one and was able to keep my times down :)  Hopefully I can stay motivated when I return to team workouts next week...  For cooldown I ran home.

This morning I got to go running with Bill and Nat in the snow!  We started on Wasatch just north of 3300s and ran all the way along Wasatch into Holladay and finished at Bill's house with 10 and then got a ride back to the cars with Kim.  The last 5 miles there were several times where I started to fall back so I had to throw in some quick strides to catch back up; I guess that's good practice for not letting the pack slip away while racing.
