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!!

This morning I went for a bike ride.  I started at my house and went to Sugarhouse Park along 1500e. I did a loop on the road in the park to see if I would catch the advanced practice group but they were out running, I just saw a few people.  I left the park by the rose gardens and I saw Abigail there so I stopped to talk to her for a second.  Then I continued on my ride.  I went up past the Highland seminary and then on 2000e under the freeway and stayed on 20th all the way to about 4500s where it ends, like I did last time.  Then I just went home the same way I had gone last time, I didn't stop back at the park.  The whole bike ride was a little over 11 and a half miles.  My hamstring hasn't bothered me for a few days so I ran out a half mile and back on 1400e since its flat.  My legs felt great, my form felt weird though.  I think that would be more because I had just gotten off the bike than because I haven't run for a few days though.  I would have run more but I was feeling a bit sick so I went home and watched Meet the Robinsons :)  And towards the end of the movie when I was feeling better I did 3 sets of the secondary strength exercises.

This morning I went to Liberty Park to run since its soft and flat there.  I did a lap and then stopped to stretch, and then I had wanted to do another 3 laps but on my second lap towards the end my hamstring was bugging me again so I finished that lap and called it quits.  Then I stretched for a while afterwards.  When I got home I did 2 sets of the abs exercises.

This morning I went to the gym and did elliptical for an hour.  I did 5 minutes going forwards with low resistance and then 10 minutes of backwards with higher resistance.  I did that 4 times.  Then I went into the weight room and did 3 sets of exercises on the hamstring exercises and 3 sets of weighted arm swings.  When I got home I did 3 sets of the secondary strength exercises and 2 sets of abs.

This morning the team went to Pipeline but I didn't think my hamstring would be up for that many miles so I ran to the gym instead.  Then I biked for 40 minutes.  Then I went and used the hamstring machine in the weight room, and ran back home.  I did 2 sets of my abs with the swiss ball and the supermans and then did the medicine ball exercises when my dad got home.  My mom came home while I was on my last set and she wanted to do that one with me so she traded my dad.  After I was finished with my abs exercises I threw the ball for her to do some of them.

This morning I went to practice with the team for the first time in a while :P  We met at Liberty and started with a lap warmup.  Then we stretched for a few minutes, I found that some stretches aggravated my hamstring so I didn't stretch for that long since it had felt fine while I was running.  Then we ran over to the painted start line of the line and 2 dots system.  We did 6 strides once we were over there and then lined up to begin the first 800.  We were doing two, with 800 recovery in between.  I hit 2:47 on both of them.  After the second one we finished the lap and went out almost to the silver box and back to get us to 5 for the day.  Then I did my secondary strength exercises except for the negatives since there wasn't anything to do those on.  

I didn't get to do my abs or the negatives later in the evening as I had planned because I got a fever :(
