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

This morning I went for a run along Foothill to Sunnyside, then up Emigration Canyon until I was at 4 miles, and back.  On the way up the canyon I saw a snake on the road and it startled me!  Then I thought its' head looked like it might have been squished (didn't look too closely) so decided it was dead.  But I didn't see it on the way down...

This morning I did a workout with Andrea!  We warmed up from the locker room on our route to the track.  The gates weren't open on the track like Kep said they would be, but doing our first workout and it being a threshold, we didn't really mind being out in lane 4.  After the usual strides and drills (took both of us a bit longer to remember which order the drills were supposed to be in!) we got started on the workout.  It was six 800s between 3:05-3:10 with 40 seconds recovery.  We took turns leading which was nice too.  Our times were 3:12, 3:08 (started too fast on that one, but everything else was even), 3:11, 3:11, 3:09, 3:09.  We cooled down across North Campus again and then in the bailiff until we were at 8 miles.  Awesome first workout back!

This morning I went running with Nikki!  We did our same 10 mile route as last week.  Even though we started at 7:30, it was already hot!!  At least when we were in City Creek we were able to have the cool temperature of the canyon.  15 minutes standing in the ice bath afterwards.

This morning I went running with Jesse at Sugarhouse Park. Then we went and watched the parade on TV with my mom and sister :) Next year I am thinking I might do the des news half... Or the full, if I'm daring. We'll see where I am next year. Happy Pioneer Day!

This morning I did 9 miles at Liberty Park.  My right heel has been bothering me.  Not while running, since my running shoes have cushion, but barefoot and in just about any other shoes it hurts.  And a bruise has appeared on the side of my foot.  So I did laps around the perimeter.  It hurt at first when I got started, but felt better as I kept going.  Then it flared up again around mile 4, but I kept going.  It doesn't hurt enough to not run.  I went and saw Heather afterwards and she gave me some heel cups to try.

I wore the heel cups in my running shoes yesterday just for walking around, but it made the heel pain worse.  So I left those out when I went running this morning.  My foot felt better than yesterday, just a little bit of pain a little bit of the time.  I did a bunch of laps at Wheeler Farm until I was at 9 miles.
