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!!

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

Long run Monday! I went to Sugarhouse and started my run from there. I saw my teammate, Becky, as I was pulling into the park and I thought about running with her but she was out of sight by the time I was parked. I started around the perimeter and then went through the streets on the south side of the park on the old cemetery loop. I did 2 loops of that and then another 2 miles on the perimeter of the park to get to 11. 7:18 average pace.

This morning I took Ellie in the stroller to City Creek.  I decided I would go up a quarter mile further than last time.  If I keep doing that each week this summer it will work well for building miles and make an interesting hill route that I'll look forward to each week.  So I started at the Capitol and ran 4.5 miles up the canyon.  This was the first time I went up where the pavement narrows.  It sure is beautiful up there.  When I was done I went to campus for a 10 minute ice bath.  When I was getting ready to get in the water was when I realized that my shorts were on backwards.  I guess that's what they call mommy brain.

This morning my sister and I met up with Hilary and Andrea for a run. It was so nice to catch up with them! We ran along Foothill since we wanted to stay flat. They turned at 2.5 but I continued and did Albertson's loop, coming back to Sunnyside on 1900e. To add on I went down to Guardsman and the long way to Mario Capecchi, and then did strides in balliff to get 8 total. Lifted weights with Andrea afterwards. She made me do planks at the end, and they were hard. But we got bagels afterwards which made it all worth it. 10 minute ice bath to finish up.

This morning I went running on Pipeline trail for the first time in forever. I ran out to the overlook and back, then up the road and back to get what I needed to make it a full 10. I didn't enjoy it as much as I used to, there were a lot of dogs up there today and some bikers.

This morning I went to campus for my run. I ran through upper campus and then by the post office on Sunnyside. I ran up above the zoo and then on Wasatch all the way to Thunderbird. Then I cut down to Foothill and took that all the way back to campus. I did strides in the field behind the institute parking garage to get to 9 total. My legs are tired.

This afternoon I went running with Nikki. We started by the institute garage and ran to Foothill. We took that to 1300s and then went up to Wasatch. We stopped for water at the golf course and then continued south on Wasatch. We turned around at Thunderbird and headed back. Nikki pushed the stroller to the golf course, it was nice to have a break. Then we went back down to Foothill to go back to campus.
