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

At the track I did a mile warmup, and then 2 miles of progressive speedchanges in the opposite direction.  On some of the jogging parts I did high knees and butt kicks.  Then I changed direction again for a mile cooldown.  My leg didn't hurt at all, and (I wish I had my watch) I think I was going a bit faster than I have on other return runs.

This morning at practice we did 2 grass laps warmup and then a mile of speedchanges on the track.  Then we went down to the parking lot and ran 10 hills, about 200 meters, so there and back 400.  Then we did a grass lap cooldown.

In the afternoon we ran to Sunnyside and did 2 laps on the outside.  Then the team did an 800.  I got 2:59.  Then, since I haven't been able to run much, I did another and got 2:57.  Then I did 4 strides.  Then we ran back to the stadium and played ultimate frisbee.  Afterwards I took an ice bath.  My legs don't hurt, but they are sore from coming back.

Cross country meet at Toole/Stansbury today :)  I did about a mile warmup, and then headed over to the starting line.  When the race started, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to run it.  I decided to try a little under race pace.  I think it went alright.  During the first mile, which was uphill on a road, I kind of pushed the pace.  It was hard to breath a little, but my legs were fine.  From the beginning I quickly moved into 2nd and could see Bre up ahead most of the time until the trail.  I relaxed a bit at the trail, not wanting to overdo it or trip on anything.  Then at one point I felt relaxed and calm enough and I checked my watch, which was at 14 minutes.  I decided I'd try and push the rest of the race, and I think I did an ok job.  I was very surprised with my results, I thought I'd be farther back.  But I guess the cross training has paid off :)  I have a goal to take an ice bath tonight, rest tomorrow, run about 2 miles on Friday, and then race to my fullest at Orem on Saturday.

This morning I biked for 20 minutes and then did elliptical for 25 minutes.  Then I did wall sits and ice massage.

After school I did intervals on elliptical.  I think it started at about 1 minute hard one minute easy but by the end I think it was at 2 minutes hard 2 minutes easy (segment times, I'm not sure how those work).  My heart rate was at about 130 on the easy and about 170 for the hard parts.  Afterwards I did a 5 minute cooldown.  Then I iced.

This morning with my sister I ran to Sunnyside park, did a grass lap, and back home.  My legs didn't hurt and I didn't feel sore at all... I hope tomorrow goes well.

This morning we started with a team warmup, I think it was a little over a mile.  Then we went back to our area.  I stretched and changed to my spikes.  I ran in dull quarters (I didn't have my spike wrench, and none of the other kinds would work on my shoes).  Then we headed to the start.  Did a few strides, then our cheer.  When the race started I focused on trying to find gaps so as to not get boxed in.  I got into the front pack right off.  At about the first lap around the ponds I took the lead (the pace felt ok to me).  Too bad I wasn't able to keep it.  My cardio is strong enough but my legs couldn't keep up.  People kept passing me through the second lap and I couldn't really find the mental focus to keep pushing.  I kicked around the last corner of the soccerfield, it was decent and I held off 2 runners.  My time was .2 seconds faster than one of theirs.  I didn't do too much of a cooldown afterwards, I think I'll go for a run tonight.
