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

This morning I warmed up 10 minutes on the elliptical before heading outside to run.  It was super cold, and probably didn't make it any better that I already had sweat for the wind to chill me with.  But once I got running it wasn't so bad.  I went up to the track for 2.5 miles.

Had another prenatal visit today, I've gained about 5 pounds since last month and about 17 total! :) In the evening I went to the fieldhouse to workout. I started with 10 minutes warmup on the elliptical and then did 2 miles on the treadmill.

This afternoon I went to the fieldhouse again for my workout. I think the treadmill aggravated my shins yesterday, so I was going to just do elliptical, but I couldn't resist and after 25 minutes hopped over to the treadmill. Shins hurt worse tonight. I'm wondering if I am just running weird on the treadmill because I am not running up to speed I'd be doing normally? Maybe tomorrow will be just a cross training day...

Today I worked out at the fieldhouse.  I biked for 10 minutes and then did 20 on elliptical.  I was able to resist running today, but I did walk for 5 minutes on the treadmill when I was done on elliptical.  The fan is right in front of the treadmill, and was really alluring after getting all sweaty.   Plus I wanted to dry off before going back outside into the cold.  Hopefully the people on the machines behind the treadmill didn't mind my aroma being fanned around the gym.

I had to do the glucose tolerance test today and it was the worst!!! Never again... A few hours later I felt up to working out, so I ellipticaled for 10 minutes to warmup before going up to the track to run.  I did about 16 minutes and then needed to walk, so for the rest of the time I walked the straight parts and ran the curves.

On a random note, I think I really miss racing.  Probably because regionals is today, so the team is competing there.  Also I had a dream last night where I was running an indoor 5k, but for being pregnant I was allowed to ride a horse.  But then I felt bad for having such an advantage over the competition that I rode the horse off the track for a while before coming back to finish the race.

I went to the Fieldhouse today with Jesse for some biking. I did 25 minutes and then went and walked on the "track" for about 5 minutes until my legs felt normalish again.
