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 got my long run in!  I started at Sugarhouse and ran along 1500e and through campus.  I went up to 11th Avenue and then ran into City Creek.  I was at 6.5 when I got to the gate at City Creek, so I went up another half mile before turning around and heading back the same way.  The last 3 miles I was exhausted, but finished with a 7:14 average pace.  I'm not sure how my legs are still working.

This morning I took Ellie for a run in the stroller.  We did 6 laps at Liberty Park.

This afternoon Jesse came running with Ellie and me on the Jordan River trail. The storm was getting closer as we kept going out so I cut it a mile short and just did 3.5 for the afternoon. We got poured on at the end.

This morning I did a threshold run at Liberty park. My mom met up with me to take Ellie in the stroller. I warmed up 2 miles and then did strides and drills. This week's threshold was 3 sets of 10 minutes. I was able to get just over a lap each time, splitting 3:06, 6:07, 9:09 on the first; 3:04, 6:08, 9:11 on the second; and 3:06, 6:09, 9:13 on the last one. My legs were so tired on the last set! I can definitely feel the mileage from yesterday and the day before. I couldn't bring myself to do strides at the end, so I just finished with a cool down to get to 10 miles.

This morning I took Ellie for a run in the stroller. We started at Sugarhouse and ran to 33rd south and back, and then did a few laps to get to 10. I was exhausted so this run felt like it took forever.

Today I started my run at the Capitol and ran up City Creek. I went up 6 miles and turned around. Once you get past the water shed, it isn't as steep and is actually quite nice. This is the farthest up I've ever gone. It took me 50 minutes to run up and 45 to run back down.

This morning I started my run from Sugarhouse. I ran along 15th and through campus up to 11th avenue. I ran down 11th and into Memory Grove, then back up South Temple to 1300e. This was a bit farther than I thought it would be, so I finished with 12 at my parents house where I caught a ride back to my car because I literally didn't want to go the extra mile. I got my 70 in for the week and I am exhausted!
