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 I went for my final run in the sunshine here in Florida!  I ran out 5 miles, a continuation of the route I ran the first day, and back.  Flying home tomorrow and I don't want to worry about running then so tomorrow will be my day off.

Didn't make my connecting flight from Atlanta back to Salt Lake, and then I got stuck in Dallas when the reroute that had me on American Airlines didn't have a seat for me.  It was a rough night and I ended up having to go to a hotel, and I decided to hit the treadmill to cool off.  I ran 5 miles and felt a bit better, and then went and watched A Christmas Story :)

I finally made it home yesterday around 2:30!  And finally took my day off for the week.  Today I had planned on doing 200s at a track, but it snowed all night so running to one wasn't going to work and the roads weren't too great either so going to the oval was a no.  So I ran 7 miles on the treadmill.  My right hip is starting to hurt again, I am thinking I must have aggravated it during my workout last week.  I did some hip exercises from PT last summer, hopefully I can prevent the problem before it starts!

Hello more snow.  I didn't want to run on the treadmill again so I decided I would go for the un-shovelled sidewalks and un-plowed roads in the cold.  But then my Garmin wouldn't start so I almost ended up on the treadmill, but I was able to reset it and get it going :)  I ran 2 loops over to 2100s and up to 1900e and down 900s and then a few blocks extra to finish at 10.  My hip didn't hurt today but I will still keep up the hip exercises.

I finally made it to a track today!  And my sister's workout was similar to the one I had in mind so I joined her so I wouldn't be doing the work alone.  After a 4 lap warmup and a lot of stretching and drills, I changed to my flats and then we jogged over to the mile start.  The oval was crazy packed with a lot of high school teams practicing and with spectators for the speed skaters.  My goal for the mile was to hit 5:30.  I kinda guessed for the first lap split because I don't know exactly where the first 400 mark is... but it was 1:22.  At 800 to go I was at 2:52, then 4:16, and I finished in 5:39.  After a lap recovery we did two sets of three 300s.  My times for those were 56, 58, 58, 58, 57, 56.  Then we did a 6 lap cooldown to get to 7 for the day.

This morning I went for 11 miles to finish at 50 for the week.  I did the cemetery loop route and then added on along 1900e to 900s and up to 2100e over to 1700s, then down to 1400e and home.  My hamstrings and quads are sore from yesterday!
