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!! 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

 Run a 5k in under 18 minutes

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

I went for an easy run in the evening.  I ran from my house along 1400e to 1700s.  I saw Jake going the opposite way along 14th.   I then went to 1500e and then along there back to my house.  It was hot and it was getting dark.  I tried to time it so it wouldn't be too hot or dark, but I think thats getting impossible now that summer is ending.

We did a speed workout at our track this morning. We started with a mile warmup and then a mile speedchanges and a lap cooldown. I changed to my spikes, then we did a mile. My goal was no slower than 6 and I hit 6. Then I did a 2 lap cooldown.  Then we did 2 800s with a lap cooldown each.  The first I did in 2:52, then a 2:46. I feel like I've improved a lot. Then we ran a 3.25 miles cooldown starting from our track and then running up Sunnyside to Foothill Boulevard. Then we ran down 500s to 1300e and then we went up 800s back to our track. I did the cooldown with Bre and Mary. Doing the speedwork in the morning is much better than when its 100 degrees outside.

Today we started school, and after school we had our first practice up at the stadium.  We did the Shriner's run, where we run up to Guardsman and through the U campus and then to the Avenues up to the drinking fountain at Shriner's.  Then we go back the same way.  There and back was 4.6 miles, and when we were back at the track we did 10 strides.  Then we did 2 300s where we get lined up and someone starts every 5 seconds and tries to catch the person in front of them while not getting caught.  I followed Mary the first time and Chase the second.  It was fun to have our first practice after school, but it was really hot.  I think it will cool down soon though.

We had our first meet of the season today.  We went to Wheeler Farm, and arrived at about 2:30.  We started a warmup around 3, and we ran along the course until we came to a spot where there was a foot of water so we changed the course.  The warmup ended up being about 2 miles.  After that it was almost time for the girls race which was starting at 3:30 so we changed our shoes and did some strides.  I wore my spikes.  We got to do our team cheer which was fun, and then we started.  I had a fast start but I held a lead for the first mile, Bre was with me and mile 1 was at about 6:10.  Then she pulled ahead but I could still see her.  On the second loop around which has a turnoff so that its shorter I almost missed the turnoff because I didn't see where Bre had gone and I wasn't directed at first but then the guy there told me to go the other way.  I finished second, and I was about 10 seconds behind Bre.  Next to finish were Mary and then Ashleigh I think.  Then Amanda came in 6th, so we got a score of 16 which is better than we did all last season.  It was fun even though it was hot.  After the race the girls were supposed to find the biggest hill we could and run it 10 times so we did.  We found one by a the bridge by part of the course, and we ran it twice and then saw on the other side that there was a bigger hill.  We did the bigger hill 10 times because we decided it wasn't that long.  It was cool because we would run up the hill right next to the course and see some of our guys and we cheered for them.  Afterwards we ran a 15 minute cooldown and we decided it was about 1.5 miles.  It was really fun.

This morning we had practice starting at 6am. It was a bit cold when we started. I ran with Bre. We ran from the track to Sugarhouse Park along 1500e, and we did a lap around and came back and ran a hill off of 15th on the way back. Then we did 5 strides. I forgot not-running shoes for school. I'll remember next time. This run was 6.25 miles.

After school we changed and ran up to Sunnyside Park, which was 1/2 mile. I ran with Amanda. Then in the park we did a 2 mile warmup around the park twice. I ran with Bre for that part. After that warmup my shin was hurting a bit, but I decided to see how I felt after the tempo run. We did 2 miles, I was supposed to hit about 7:30 pace, and I did for the first mile, but on the second I accidentally cut a bit at the end and finished at about 15 minutes. My shin hurt really bad after that so I couldn't do the circuit after that. I only ended up getting about 4.5 miles. When I got back to the track I got an ice cup and iced my shins.

We did speedwork after school today. We started with a 2.75 mile warmup from our track to the gully and around it and then up a hill off of 1500e. Then we did a mile of speed changes and a lap cooldown. Then I changed my shoes and did an 800 with 1 lap recovery, and 4 400s with a lap recovery. We were supposed to do 8 but my shin splint was really bad so I stopped. After practice I bought new shoes, I tried on 5 pairs and couldn't decide between Mizunos and Nikes. I got the Nike air zoom vomero+ 3. I'll try them on tonight to see how they feel.

My shoe mileage: Saucony- 405.46 Flat- 6.2 Spike- 21.75

In the evening I went to the track with my mom and sister to try out my new shoes.  I'm not sure how they feel exactly yet because my shin splint still hurts.  My right leg felt ok though.  I'm going to try wearing a compression sock tomorrow to see if it helps and maybe feel how the new shoes are.  

Nike- 2

I ran from my house up along 1500e over to Sunnyside, and I ran down Sunnyside to 1400e. From there I went over to 900s and then down to 1300e, and along 13th home. I wore a compression sock over my shin splint to see if it helped. It feels ok, but I think if I can fold the sock down to make it more effective it would help.

For my evening run I just did a mile on the treadmill.  My time was 8:15.  My shin hurt a bit but I think it will heal soon enough.  I wore the compression sock again.  Tomorrow I think I'm going to see how well I do without it.
