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

Today at Sugarhouse Park we did 2 laps on the outside and then 5 barefoot strides in the shade.  The grass felt really nice.

This morning we started at Sunnyside Park and ran up to the zoo and then along Wasatch Boulevard to Thunderbird where we cut down to Foothill and went to a drinking fountain.  For the way back to the park we each chose our own route. 

Evening at Sugarhouse Park, did a lap warmup, 10x1 minute on 1 min. off fartlek, took just over a lap so finished the lap for cooldown.

This morning we ran on the Pipeline Trail.  I went to the sign 3.5 miles out.  My garmin wouldn't keep the satellite, it would pick it up and lose it, and after several times of that I just turned it off.  Before the run it said my heart rate was 47, after it was about 140.  I pushed my pace a little bit today, it felt great and relaxed.

We ran at Fairmont today.  We left the park and went to 2700s where we went east to 1100 east and went south to Elgin street.  We went up to 1300e and then down Zenith, and once to 1100e back to the park from where we came at the beginning.  That was 3.25 miles.  Then we stretched and did high knees and butt kicks.  Then we did some strides.  To get up to 4 miles we ran a little more than a lap around the fields.

I went for a short run in the evening, to try and get my garmin more quickly recognized with the sattelite.  It seemed to work, though at times it lost it during the run, but it came back quickly and I think it still measured the part from when the signal was weak.  Afterwards I took a 10 minute ice bath.

Today we met at Liberty Park.  We did a lap warmup, then jogged to the mile start and did high knees, butt kicks, and strides.  I only did 1 mile, since my right leg from my hip to my knee hurt.  I think it was because I wasn't bening my knee as much, but when I do I lean to the right.  Its a good thing I have a doctors appointment Monday to work on getting it fixed. After that mile I ran back to the start, but my leg was feeling tight, so, with Amanda because her shin is giving her trouble, we finished the lap and did a cooldown lap.

I ran a few streets over but my knee was hurting so I ran back home and got out my bike.  I biked 7 miles, on the route I run to the cemetery.  I tried to keep my legs moving and my heart rate up, so I wouldn't coast at all.  I stayed in 6th gear the whole time, as well.  I did some abs when I got home.
