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 and did the East workout at Sugarhouse.  We did the cemetery loop today.  At the start of the run I was up at the front with the guys but then as we turned onto Imperial Street and down Parkview I couldn't keep up and then they all got way ahead of me and then Amanda and Mike and some other members of the team passed me and I couldn't stay with them.  But I was at about 8 minute pace which wasn't bad.  At the cemetery I did 1 lap and I caught up to some of the people who had passed me early.  I caught up to Amanda during the cemetery but eventually passed her.  Coming back along Melbourne I was able to hit 7:20s pace but when I had to slow down to cross 2700s to get over to 1800e I slowed back down to 8 minute pace.  When I got back into the park I went out an extra half mile on the road and back so that I would be at 8.  My average pace was 7:55 so I stayed pretty even.  Afterwards I did 3 sets of my secondary strength and ab exercises.

This morning for workout we met at Sunnyside Park.  For the run we ran up Sunnyside to the zoo and then above it onto Wasatch Drive.  Took that all the way to Thunderbird and then cut down to Foothill and went up to the drinking fountain by the flagpole.  Then we ran back along Foothill and turned down 1300s and then north on 1900e back to Sunnyside and back to the park.  Then we did a lap in the soccer fields to get us up to 8 for the day.  When I got home I did 3 sets of the abs exercises.

This morning I couldn't make it to the team workout since I was babysitting but after I was done I went down to Liberty for some speed work.  I started with a lap warmup and then I changed into my red flats.  Then I ran over to the painted start line.  On my workout schedule I was supposed to do 3 1mile repeats but since I haven't done speed in a while I didn't want to.  And last night I had accidentally read the previous week's workout and thought I would be doing 6 800s.  So I planned on doing 1 mile, two 800s, and then 1 mile.  I did half mile recovery after each to the next line or line with two dots.  My times were 5:58, 2:57, 2:56, 6:06.  Then I finished the lap I was on and changed shoes and then cooled down for 1.75 miles going the opposite way of what I had been going before.  When I got home I did 3 sets of secondary strength and abs exercises.

This morning the team had practice up on Pipeline Trail.  They ran out 22 minutes and back but I went out 3 miles before turning since I don't need to taper for Monday since I can't race and I didn't want them to have to wait for me to to the whole thing.  When I got home I did a bunch of abs exercises, including the stuff Em showed us last year and stuff I learned in yoga and the medicine ball stuff.

This morning I wasn't planning on running until later since I was going babysitting but then I was awake at 6 and decided I would go run since I had time.  I ran up to 1500e and over to 2100s and then went on 1700e and took the street by the Highland seminary up to 2000e and went under the freeway and then over to 3300s.  Then I went down to Melbourne and took that and 1800e back towards Sugarhouse and back home along 1500e.  When I was babysitting I got my secondary strength exercises done while the kids were still asleep and then I did my abs when I got home.

This morning Abigail and I went running with Taylor.  We met at Sunnyside Park and ran up to Foothill and then down to 500s like the VA loop and then we went through campus on the Shriner's route.  We got up to 11th Avenue when we reached 3 and a half, that's where we turned around.  We ran back the same way we had come and when we got back to the park I let Taylor take my garmin for another mile since he needed 8.  It felt nice not having to do core today!
