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!!

Workout at the oval today.  I warmed up 5 minutes on the bike and then joined the group on the track for the rest of the warmup.  We started with two 200s before getting into the workout.  I hit 41 and 39.  The workout was sets of three 400s with 90 seconds recovery and an extra lap between sets.  I was with the freshman, and on each set we were supposed to drop 1-2 seconds on the 400s.  Times were 1:27, 1:28, 1:28; 1:25, 1:26, 1:25; 1:24, 1:24, 1:22.  I cooled down on the track to finish with 7 miles total and then biked a few more minutes.

Since Kep moved today's practice to this morning with a short notice of yesterday, he got to tend Ellie for me while I did the workout!  He needs practice.  I warmed up a few minutes on the bike, and then with Ellie in the stroller I joined the girls on their track warmup for a mile.  Kep hadn't arrived by the time we got to the strides and drills portion, so I just pushed the stroller for the strides.  At least the first 2, then I handed Ellie over to Kep.  I was doing threshold with Dana today.  We had a 5 lap threshold, followed by a 70 second recovery, a 4 lap threshold at a faster pace with 90 seconds recover, and then a 3 lap threshold.  When we finished that we had 200s.  I hit 38 and 40.  I cooled down to finish with 6 total and then added a few minutes of biking.

To get out of the inversion I went to City Creek to run today. There were few cars so I thought it looked skeptical but about a half mile up there was a group of runners going down so I knew I wasn't the only one looking for clean air up in the canyon! At about a mile I could start to see blue skies, and I got a shadow as the sun was out! And the air kept looking better and better as I kept going. I went to the 3 mile mark and then turned around. My knee had been hurting on the way up so I wanted to be cautious on the way down. Surprisingly, the way down didn't hurt! But it was depressing running back into the nasty air, and finishing my run without being able to see the sun. Also it was really cold on the way down, I guess I had had the wind to my back. I'm really glad I took the chance and went to see the sun and blue skies today!

I never heard back from the girls in town who were supposed to be doing a long run so I just went out to the oval. I forgot how terrible it is running there when there are ice skaters. And people who think they can just walk all over the track when they get tired of skating. I did 3 miles but was having really bad heartburn from a too spicy lunch. So I switched to the bike. Felt a little better, but the heartburn didn't stop until I was done.
