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

This morning my sister was a good sport for coming to Cottonwood Complex with me at 6 in the morning!  I warmed up around the block, then did a few strides before doing hills.  I ran Bessie ten times, recovery back down.  The sprinklers were on the whole time, so it was a bit refreshing to run through them every time.  After the last one I almost puked because I only ate a cereal bar for breakfast...  But at least it was after the last one.  I cooled down a mile to finish at 9 for the day.

This morning I met up with Hilary at Liberty Park to run together.  We did one lap around the perimeter of the park, then decided to venture out.  Running on the pavement wasn't so bad.  My hip had hurt before starting, but it warmed up, and I think it actually felt better on the pavement... We ran along 700e to 2700s, then down to 500e and back to the park.  Then I ran back to my car to finish with 8 total for the morning.  At around noonish we met up again to get our lift done, and then we did a 5 mile run after that.  We ran up campus through the dorms and to Red Butte.  We explored a bit of the trail by the fence.  I went home with ice bags on my hip.

Puked out my guts last night so no run today.  Plenty of fluids and rest.

Today I felt better, so I went to Sugarhouse to run.  I did 3 laps around the perimeter.  I felt tired at the end, and had felt slow the whole time, but the pace wasn't that bad.  I'm thinking maybe a longer run tomorrow and am hoping for a workout on Saturday.

This morning I did a run from Liberty.  I ran along 500e to 3300s, then up to 700e and back to the park.  Then I added a lap around the perimeter to make it a full 8.  Later I did my second lift of the week and my hip rehab.

In the evening I went for a 5 mile run.  I ran on the pavement, and my legs felt pretty good.  Just my quads are a bit sore.  I think I can be ready for the half marathon I want to do on the 24th :)

Chased Abigail on 15th for the first part of my run... She thought she could get away :P  I warmed up to Sunnyside Park and a lap around that block, so 3 miles total warmup.  I did a threshold workout of 6 sets of 4:30 on with 90 seconds off.  I was exhausted by the end :P  But I finished!  That got me another 5 miles, and then I decided I still had it in me to do a 6 mile cooldown.  So I ran up above the zoo and then on Wasatch until 1700s and then down and home.  17 minute ice bath afterwards.
