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 I did a workout at Cottonwood Complex.  I warmed up around the block and then did a few strides before doing hills.  I ran Bessie 4 times all the way to the fence, and then 4 times going up around and down.  I really like varying the hills so I'm not just running a billion reps of the same thing.  I cooled down to finish at 9 for the morning.  

In the afternoon I went for a short run over to Sunnyside and then down Foothill and 500s to 1300e and home for 5 miles total.

This morning I ran by Sugarhouse Park and did the cemetery loop route to 3300s and back to Sugarhouse.  Then I ran up to 2100e and over to 900s and home to finish at 10.  Then I went and got my lift done, and ice cupped my shins.  Running on pavement more has started to bug them.

This morning I ran to Hilary's place and met her for a run.  We ran through campus and then up to 11th Avenue.  We ran to the road that goes into City Creek, but instead of running it we turned left and ran down to South Temple.  We took that back up to 11th east and after dropping Hilary off I ran back home to finish at 10.  It was a good route to get her the 7 she wanted and me the 10 I wanted :)

This morning I warmed up on 1300s to 2100e and then up Sunnyside and above the zoo onto Wasatch.  At 3 miles I set my Garmin for 8 sets of 3 minutes on 2 minutes off.  I felt pretty good and didn't realize how tired I was until I was on my cooldown.

This morning I ran along 1500e to 2100s and then up to 1700e and on Melbourne over to 3300s.  I crossed the street and ran that road, I have run it once before.  It looks like a cute neighborhood.  At 3900s I went up to 2000e, and took that back to about 2700s where I connected with the loop out and ran home.  Afterwards I went to campus and got my second lift done.

This morning I ran along 1500e to campus and then the Shriner's route up to 11th Avenue.  I ran down 11th and into City Creek, up to the drinking fountain and then by  the capitol before going down State Street.  I ran South Temple back up to 1300e, and then home.  Crazy to think it has been so long since I've run 65 miles in a week!  And how exhausting it feels, when it used to be the norm for me!  Higher mileages weeks to come...
