Half-Marathon - 1:24:30.56 (Handcart Days)

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

Today we got to run in the rain and snow!!! :P

We started at the stadium and ran to the flagpole on Foothill the way we usually go.  But the drinking fountain was turned off, oh well (but who needs water in this weather anyway I suppose).  I was with Natalie the whole time, and we were just a little bit behind Bill.  Our average pace was 7:45.

Today I went to Steiner with Suzette.  I ran 7 miles on the treadmill while she biked.  Then we went in the weight room for a few minutes, I did arm swings.

Today we ran from the stadium to Fairmont Park.  We missed a couple lights and ended up taking 1300e to 1300s where we were able to turn down and then turn again onto 1000e all the way to 2100s.  At the park we did 10 strides.  Then we ran up to Sugarhouse Park for some hills.  We did 8 of the loops like we do in the summer.  I should probably start biking, my quads felt so weak.  Then we ran back to the stadium along 1500e, then taking the street by the gully to Sunnyside and back to the stadium.  I'm glad I went today because I haven't really done any tougher workouts in a while...

Today we stayed on the track.  We did a mile warmup, and a mile of speedchanges.  Then we stretched before doing a timed mile, I hit a 5:53, after really pushing the last lap.  Then we did another mile speedchanges, and a mile cooldown.

Today we ran from the stadium to the gully, did 2 and a half laps, and back to the stadium.  We were about a mile short of what we needed so we did 2 stadium laps to finish.  Each lap in the gully is about .8 miles so in the future we will do 3 and a half laps.

This morning Abigail and I started with a 2 mile warmup.  I showed her the start and finish of the course.  Then we went to the car to drop sweats and change shoes, and I put on my Pocahontas costume!  Then we went and did strides on the line.  The race was late to start, but we just kept doing our strides.  Finally when we started we got out fast because we were on the line and it was downhill start.  When we got to the equestrian trail there was a horse that was going crazy to the side of the trail.  When I checked my time at mile 1 it was a 5:41, I knew it was fast because of the downhill.  Later in the race I could feel my shoe coming loose.  This year, coming back onto the pavement after going down a hill and across the railroad tracks, I didn't wipe out like last year.  The whole time I could see a group of guys ahead of me but there were no girls up with me the whole time.  I finished first and got a turkey :)  And Abigail was 3rd female overall and first in her age group and also got a turkey :)  Later when I got home I changed and ran a 2 mile cooldown from my house to Sunnyside and back.
