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 we met at Sugarhouse and did the cemetery run.  I ran with Amanda, we went in the cemetery, and we stopped for water before heading back to the park.  When I got home I did some crunches and other abs stuff.

In the evening I ran to the track as warmup, and then I did a mile of speedchanges.  My legs hurt a bit, so I stretched when I got to the track and after the speedchanges.  Then I tried some 400s to see how those felt.  I did the first in 1:32 with a lap recovery.  I did another, 1:36, then another lap recovery.  Then I stretched before  I started running home.  I ran about a quarter mile but got a ride for the rest.  My legs were sore, so I took an ice bath when I got home.

We ran up on Shoreline Trail today.  I went to the construction and turned right.  The trail ended up just going farther up.  Eventually Bre decided that we had run the difference and we just ran back down.  When we were finished we did crunches and pushups.  The ice bath must have helped because my legs didn't hurt today.

I missed the team workout because as I stepped outside I got a nosebleed, probably because it was very hot and dry.  Instead I waited until it was cooler and then ran 7 miles, out to the cemetery and back.  I relaxed the first bit of it, and pushed the rest.  I finished in about 58 minutes.  I took an ice bath last night so my legs felt nice again :)

Because of what happened last year, I made sure I got a spot right on the line this year.  It was packed very tight, it was nice to get fresh air when the race started.  The starting downhill I took a bit slower than my pace for the rest of the race, I didn't want to get injured, but the rest of the course wasn't that bad.  There were several times during the race where people would pass me on a downhill, but I would get them back right after it.  I did well on the slight uphills as well.  I mostly got passed by guys, a few girls.  At the 3 mile my time was 19:08.  I started my kick when coming up the final slope I could see that the clock hadn't reached 40 yet.  Even though I didn't break 40 I'm still satisfied with my time :)  Afterwards I did a lap around the park for cooldown.  My legs felt like jello... I think I'm going to go eat some green jello right now :)

The clouds were nice today, I was able to sleep in a little bit and it wasn't too hot to run :)  It was 71 degrees when I started, and 72 when I got back.  I ran to the cemetery on 33rd and back, though on the loop part I ran it the opposite way of what I usually do.  I didn't time it, just wanted to relax since I'm sore from yesterday.

I ran over to Sunnyside and up to Foothill Boulevard and then down along 5th south to 1300e and home.  I stretched my calves at the top of the hill at Sunnyside, since they are still a bit sore.  When I reached 1300 east I picked up the pace for the rest of the way home.  I feel great afterwards :)
