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!!

First day of school! And I have a crazy schedule on Mondays and Wednesdays, so today I just missed running with the team. I got out of class at 12:50 and hurried to get my run in since lifting was at 2:30. And then I had class again at 4. I went out and back on 11th because no one ever wants to run there so I will gladly take any opportunity to do so.

Another day on my own. I ran through upper campus and then when I got to Sunnyside I went up and above the zoo and onto Wasatch. I took that to where the road cuts diagonally down to Foothill and took that back to campus. My knee has been hurting, but on this run I didn't feel it until I started coming down after passing the zoo. Starting rehab on it soon.

I started the workout with the long distance group today. We warmed up from Trax to Liberty and did our usual strides and drills in the park. We made a potty stop at Smiths on the way and were all eyeing the free cupcake samples just past the checkout lines. The cashiers thought we were sad because there weren't enough for all of us, not realizing that we were in the middle of a run. My knee was hurting during the warmup but I told myself I had to see how it felt on strides. It still hurt. But Kep wanted me to try the threshold and see how it felt. It was 3x8 minutes at 6:10ish pace. When we started I lagged behind everyone. And my knee hurt. But when I came through 800 at 3:01 Kep was ok with it and had told the others to slow down. I probably backed off too much also because I was trying to gauge off of them. The mile was 6:18. Oops. My knee hurt more and more the rest of the rep so after that one I just ran back to Trax, sprinting to make the train as it pulled in. I biked 15 minutes to cool down once back on campus.

Ran Trax today! And ouch my knee! We were short when we got to the library station and we had just missed the train so we ran to trolley to get 7.

The deal with today's long run was that I would go out and back 3 miles and then if I felt good I could go out and back again. I was sad because in the 12 miler group we had decided we were going to run 11th and City Creek, but my group wanted to do Wasatch. I think courtesy of long runs should be that the group going the longest gets to choose the route. But I didn't get to go 12 anyway because my knee started hurting a mile and a half in. Biked with Giselle when we got back.
