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!!

Today for the run we actually had a big group! We decided to do the zoo loop :) We started out on Foothill and then went up Sunnyside. Up on Wasatch after about 25 minutes, everyone turned around except for AuraLea and me. We kept going until we were at 4.5 miles which was just a little bit before Thunderbird. We headed back on Wasatch and then cut down to Foothill at 1300s. Then we ran back on Foothill and did our strides around Huntsman until we were at 9 miles for the day, then finished with drills.

Today we had a workout at the oval. Even though it wasn't that cold, I'm glad we went out because it was a bit windy today. When we got there we started with the usual warmup out and back on the road and then our strides and drills on the track. Then we changed shoes and headed over to the start line for 300s. The workout was 4 sets of three 300s with 100 recovery, and 400 recovery between each set. We were supposed to hit under a minute for each of them. I was with AuraLea, Kate, and Lauren. AuraLea and I took turns leading. We hit 58, 61, 60, 61, 59, 58, 58, 58, 57, 59, 58, 58 (if I remember correctly... the times for the first half I know are right). The pace felt good so the workout went by quick which was nice. Afterwards I did 8 laps cooldown going the opposite direction to be nice to my hips.

Today I went running with Hilary, AuraLea, Nikki R., and Andrea. We wanted to get away from our usual run locations so we took our Trax passes so we could use them to come back. We started down Guardsman and then went along 1500e. Then we took Harvard down to 1300e, which we took to Browning. It is really steep there just coming off of 13th, so we walked backwards down the worst of it. Then on 1100e we ran to 1700s, which we took to 700e and then over to Liberty. We started a backwards lap, then Nikki and Andrea split, but I kept going with AuraLea and Hil back towards the drinking fountain and then we ran through the middle of the park to exit, and we hit 7 miles just before we got to the Trax station at Trolley.

Today we had a larger group for the run again! We started out on Foothill, and were together up until 2300e where Lauren and I turned. We ran out to 2100s and down, then at 2100e Lauren headed back to campus but I kept going down until 1300e. Then I ran back to 500s and up campus back to HPER. My goal was to do 9 miles today but I needed a quarter mile to get to 8 so I just stopped at 8. I saw Cassie before I went inside so I stopped and talked to her for a bit before going in.

Today we had a speed workout at the track. We started with the usual warmup up on the road above the track and then across North Campus Drive to Federal Heights Drive, and then back down and to the track. We did our drills and strides, and then changed shoes. The workout was three 1000s at threshold pace with 45 seconds recovery, then five 200s with 200 recovery, followed by a progressive 2000 where we were supposed to drop 4 seconds for each 400. I was with AuraLea, and we took turns leading each of the sets. On the 1000s we hit 3:56, 3:55, 3:55, then 38, 38, 39, 39, 39 for the 200s. The 2000 wasn't bad, the splits at each lap were 1:33, 3:05, 4:32, 5:59, and 7:18 so for the most part we hit our splits, or else we compensated for not making them. After that I took a lap recovery and then changed shoes and cooled down at the track doing backwards laps with Nikki R. and then Hilary.

This morning I took my iPod and went for a run. I ran to Sugarhouse, did 3 laps on the outside and one on the inside, and ran back home. There was some event going on because when I got to 1500e there were a lot of people running on the other side of the street, I was glad I had my iPod since it was kind of awkward running past everyone... And at the park too, there were a lot of people. My average pace was 7:40.
