Personal:

When I was young, I ran local fun runs with my family, but nothing more. I watched my dad, mom, and 2 older brothers begin running and decided to try it out. During the spring of 6th grade, I ran 3 miles a couple times a week with my dad and have loved running ever since. I ran local 5ks and even a half marathon. In 7th grade I watched Conner, my older brother, run cross country and decided that I wanted to try it.

High School: Really enjoyed it all so much, grateful for all of the friendships I made while doing it. There were ups and downs, but it was a wonderful experience!

I enjoy running, playing piano, painting, skiing, and hiking. Life is totally worth living. Running my favorite meditation. I ran for Sky View High School. I served a mission in the Adriatic North Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Not yet sure what my plans are with running these next few month, but I am looking forward to an exciting future!

Warmed up 2 miles to sv, then took my time stretching. The weather was sunny, but a morning breeze made it kinda chilly. Trevor was already on the track doing the same workout. The workout was 3x1200 @ ipace (4:21 for me) and 2x1000 @ ipace (3:37 for me) with a 3:00 recovery in between. I did the math while warming up, and I think it is around a 5:48 mile, which seemed fast. When I finally got going, it was already pretty hard. I mostly worked on staying focused. The 1200 times were: 4:18, 4:20, 4:20. The 1000 times were: 3:40 and 3:42. The first 1200 stayed really consistent for 200 splits. The second and third ones I started way fast and struggled keeping pace. The last 100 was always hard. I got a quick drink, then did the 1000s. They were really difficult. I started on pace, but fell off towards the end. They weren't too slow, and my body was pretty dead. I felt pretty light headed during the 1000s and almost didn't finish the second. I'm glad I could do the workout, though. It took forever for me to start my cool down home. My feet, head, and butt hurt, so I just shuffled up the hill super slow. I stopped when I got to the top. My body was just out of energy. I finally finished the 2 miles home, then didn't do anything for an hour. My knee only hurt the first mile of the warmup snd the last 1200, so that was good.

Around 4, I did 3.5 miles with Ruby. We went up Birch, but didn't get to the second gate because there were a bunch of cars parked, so we turned around. There were some puddles, and Ruby couldn't make a decision to go around or through the puddles. She either stopped, then went around or ran right through em. We extended around the block to get the full mileage for the day. It was super nice weather! Felt like summer. Our average pace was an 8:38, which sped up when we got off of the trail.

It was such a sunny beautiful day! I got going around 12:00, and it was so warm! I went 3 up the canyon. While coming back down, I turned up the hill onto Sunnyside. I was feeling super good. There were a ton of people outside, especially compared to Tuesday. When I got home, I picked up Ruby and had a little under 2 miles left, so I just extended around the block. Ruby loved it. Before I picked up the dog, my average pace was just over 8:00. When we were done, our average pace was a 7:54 because Ruby kepted pushing the pace. It was a fun Saturday run. I'm glad I could get in 50 miles for spring break, even with my knee being stupid last week. I'm pumped to finally race again this next week.

Warmed up a mile with the girls.  I was somewhat excited for the days workout, but it was pretty warm out, so I was also nervous. We did Russain Intervals. Coach wanted us to do 4 sets with 4 total 300s in each set. I mentally look at this workout like a 1500m hard, but easyish on the front stretch. My goal was for a minute each 300. My first set felt really good. My times were 58, 58, 59, 60. The recoveries were around 29, though, so they were a little quick. Rachel and Clara dropped after the second 300, but coach was there to push me. Got a quick drink, spit, then did a slow 400 to recover. It was already painful. The second set's splits were 58, 59, 59, 60. The recovery was a little bit slower, around 32 maybe. Got another quick drink. I wasn't too far off of Jordan, JC, and Reed, so during the 400 recovery, Coach wanted me to go with them. When we started, he told us not to yet think about the 4th set. My times were 58, 60, 62, 60. I really struggled keeping with the guys. They weren't too far away, though. During the 3rd I got pretty stressed out, but controlled my breathing and pushed through. The fourth was gonna seem miserable. Got a drink, then went super slow on the 400. I told myself I could do atleast 3 on the last set. My first 3 were 59, 61, 60. I stopped for a sec after the third, and that break was a 78, but then I finished out my last one in a 58. I'm glad the workout was over. Went 4 laps on the track to cool down with the guys. We were all pretty beat, but it was so nice to be done. I did one more lap to round our the mileage. It was a good workout.

It was super hot and dry. Today's workout was 3-4 miles tempo. Everybody was so dead from yeasterday, though, that nobody went over 3. After maybe a mile of warming up, we were at church run. I started with the guys, hoping I could maybe stick with some of them. I was with half of them the first mile. Doyle and Jordan were pushing each other, and I was right behind. The first mile felt really good, expecially getting my legs to stride out. It was a 6:12, which was 8 seconds fast. The second mile hurt. Jordan pulled away, and Doyle wasn't too far ahead of him. At the turnaround, my half mile was a 3:25, and I was struggling. Coach turned around with me, and I saw that Jordan had passed Doyle. We slowly reeled him in and caught him at the 2 mile mark. That mile was slow, but it was still a 6:32. I really did not want to keep going, but I also wanted to catch Doyle, so I kept pushing. He got away on the downhill, but I caught him when it got flat. We stuck together the rest of the time with Coach right there with us. I fell off on the last half mile, but caught them again when we went over the hill to see the finish. My legs were hurting, bad. I was able to sprint the last 400 or so, but had to go around a car crossing 300S. When I got to the finish I wanted to collapse, but held my ground to catch my breath. The last mile was a 6:14. My overall time was 18:59! I don't think I've done 3 miles in under 19 for a workout in a while, but it felt so good. We waited for everybody else to finish, then cooled down a mile. It was a good workout, but my body was dead.

Somehow around 4:30, I was feeling good enough to do 3 more miles at around 8:25 pace. They really helped loosen my muscles. Right before bed I did a really hard core workout.

It was a chaotic day for everybody because there was a jv meet, and some confusion occurred. Rachel and I got in a quarter of a mile running up to the track to find throwers that could not get there implements, then running back to the school to pick up Clara. When we finally got going with the guys, 5th hour was halfway over. Coach wanted us to recover today, so we didngolf course unextended. The boys were going up the hill at an 8:40 pace, so I just stuck with em. Intold myself that if they got faster than a 7:50 ap, I would drop. It took them a while to get much faster. They were pretty talkative, until we got to the downhill. We were at a 7:50 pace with a mile left, so I stayed on with them. It felt really goos. The guys did all sprint at the end, so I stayed back wih Coach. Our average pace was still a 7:40 which was good for being tired. It actually felt really good, too. After we stretched and talked for an hour which was super chill.

Woke up with a sore throat, then I started coughing throughout the day. I did not want to be sick! We were supposed to do long and easy so we would be ready for Saturday. I can admit that I was so ready to qualify for state in the 3200m this Saturday. The girls decided to get going before the guys because they had a meeting and we did Sunnyside. I started to try to pick up the pace, but before I got to Mack park, I turned around and stayed back with the girls. We were going pretty slow. Rachel and Clara were both super sore. I struggled just to keep with them, my whole body was beat. Also, I couldn't exactly breathe. Nothing felt physically good. We didn't extend. We took a break back at Mack Park and everybody jumped in the river, but I was so tired. We finally ran back, and chocolate milk was being distributed, so I got one. It felt amazing on my throat. Our average pace was an 8:43. I was hoping to run more, but I was exhausted. Got a pretty nice fever later in the night, so I probably have the flu.

Not running today, and I won't be racing tomorrow. My whole body hurts, even without any running. Pretty bummed, but the sooner I'm not sick, the better.

Only went to the first half of school, and didn't have any energy. I talked to Coah and he just wants me to get better so I can be ready for Friday. Somehow at 6:30, I found a little energy to run some easy miles on the treadmill. They didn't feel easy, but on a good day they would be considered easy. While I did, I watched youtube to pass the time. I usually set the pace to 8:20, because going under 8 was way draining. In between each mile I took a break, which got shorter  over time, to get a drink and cough. Now, I don't have any energy, but I'm glad I got in some miles. Did it all in under 42 minutes not including the breaks.

Felt really similar to yesterday- tired. Made it through a full day of school, so I'm feeling plenty better. The girls had a super long meeting, so when we started our workout it was later than usual. Warmed up a mike wih Rachel and Danella. Everybody else is doing premeet for the meet tomorrow. Our workout was cruise intervals. Rachel did a speed workout, so I was all alone. The guys were told 6 to 8 sets, but Coach just wanted me to play it by ear. I was able to do 4 sets with the minute break. I was supposed to hit a 3:56, and they were all fast: 3:44, 3:47, 3:51, 3:53. The first was amazing. Halfway through the second, my body caught up with me. The rest were painful, but I held my 200 splits to hit them all. During the majority of the intervals Coach was there to push me. They were blasting music on the speakers which helped so much. The breaks included me trying not to fall over and coughing my lungs out. While I was running I was coughing a lot, which probably looked funny. I was so tired after the 4th and knew it was from being sick. Took an 8 minute break to get multiple drinks, spit, and stand in the shade coughing. It wasn't fun. Finally started 2 more miserable sets. My 200s were perfect on each set, making my times barely on: 3:53 and 3:55. Coach told me just to get back into and not worry about doing 8 like the guys, so I stopped there. Went to sit in the shade, but saw Ethan and Landon going for a cool down, so I went with them. I have rarely struggled that much on a cool down. Towards the end, I dropped. It was all good, though, because I was done. I forgot to mention it was hot, but it was so nice to be outside. Went home and didn't realize I took a 1.5 hour nap until I woke up.

Still not feeling amazing yet, but had energy for my run. Just easy today. Everybody was pretty sore from Monday and Tuesday's workout, but I was still feeling fine. We did golf course. Rachel and I tried to keep up with the guys who were haulin up the hill, then we dropped. We passed them on 300 where they were stretching. Ethan and JC caught us when we got onto the trailmto extend. It was super rainy, and the trail was super muddy. Going down Birch we were all covered in mud and splashing in puddles. When we got into Smithfield Canyon, the guys were still jumping in puddles, but were going our pace. We all finished together. My cough was with me the whole run, which wasn't fun. Got back, soaked, and did 4 strides with Rachel. It was way fun. 7:52 average pace.

Later I did 2 miles. The rain had stopped, but there was a cold wind. Didn't have a ton of energy, so I cut it short. 8:02 average pace.

Got to chase the one and only Ethan Field for half a mile in front of the whole student body during the boys and girls assembly. They were gonna have Lauren do it, but she wasn't gonna be there, so they resorted to me. Lauren would have beat him. We were originally gonna run to Lee's, grab an orange, and run back, but it was pouring rain. They had us run 5 laps on the track thing above the gym. It was pretty humiliating, but fun. The girls tried to stop Ethan, but they couldn't slow him down. Then, some lacrosse boys made a barrier with their arms. I thought I could ram right through, but totally failed, then ran right under. He only beat me by 3/4s of a lap, so not too bad. It was still a way fun assembly.

During 5th hour, it was still pouring, so we had a meeting. When the meeting was over, me, Rachel, Kelc, and Harmony did Mack 'n back. It was pretty fun. It was cold, though, not warm like yesterday. Coughed the whole time, but pumped for tomorrow.

Psych! Right after I posted, I got a text saying the meet was cancelled. Pretty bummed, but I am ready than ever to race. For some reason I knew it was gonna be cancelled, so I threw on my shoes and ran 2 miles outside at an 8:04 pace. The temperature was under 40 and the sun was setting, so I decided to run the rest on the treadmill. Ran 3 on the treadmill in 23:09. Felt really good, but my legs hurt a bit. Hopefully I can get my mileage up after this evening.

Because we didn't have a meet, we did a workout to make up for it. It was pretty chilly, but once we stared running, we warmed up. After a 1.5 warmup because us girls had to wait for the guys, Coach explained the workout he made up. We would have a relay team of 3 (but we were uneven, so my team had 4, and 2 girls would run together) and we would roll the dice. 1 meant a 100, 2 meant a 200, and so on. 5 was a 200 and 6 was a 300, so we didn't have to do more than a 400. We would do 2 sets all out (as a relay) and during each set we would roll the dice to see what we would have next. After 2, we roll to see how far our recovery was. The first team to get each individual to run 3200m wins (including the break). It seems complicated, but our group understood it perfectly which included me, Kelsee, Harmony, and Cassy. We had a system going. We first rolled a 300m, so I started. My 300m was around a 55 (it was hard to tag and stop my watch at the same time, so the times are a little off). We then rolled another 300 which swas a 58 for me. We got a 200m recovery in together which had us right at the startig line (where the dice was). Then we rolled another 300, which was a 59 for me. After that we had another 300 which was a 57. Again, our recovery was 200, so we were back at the start. We then rolled a 400, I got a 1:21split. Then another 300 where my time was a 58. Our recovery was 300m which again had us at the start. Coach wanted to see where we were and chose a number for us, a 400m. I was up for it because that meant one 200 left. My 400 split was a 1:22, then the 200 was a 39. I was way pumped to be done! Our group won for the girls, so that was fun, too. In between most sprints, I usually jogged atleast 200, to roll the dice, tell my group members our next distance, or get to where I needed to be. The back stretch was a pretty stond headwind, which I always ended up runnig into, but it makes me tougher. After a while, we finally cooled down around the track, backwards.  It was a way fun workout, and I would be willing to do it again. I was actually way tired after, too. One thing was, though, that I still had my cough, and I hadn't sprinted like this since before being sick, so it killed me after each set. Hopefully I can be ready for Monday. I was gonna more, but didn't.

It was a rough day for running. Went up Smithfield Canyon, turned around after 3 miles up. My cough was pretty bad, and I didn't have any energy. My pace averaged around 8:00, but I turned up Birch whiched slowed my pace a ton. When I got on the last stretch, my stride lengthened, and I brought my pace down to an 8:07. I should have gone further. There was a chilly breeze which was not fun because it felt like summer, but it was cold.

Not sure how I feel about today's races. I was feeling ready, but all day my mind wasn't on the race. I physically felt ready to qualify, but I hadn't raced in about 3 weeks. I didn't know if we were gonna get outa 4th hour but luckily did. Wamed up a little too early with Kelsey, who was the only other sv girl running the 3200. We did a mile, then waited. I got in another half mile just jogging around keeping warm. It was really nice weather, a little too warm. When the race came closer, I could not get mentally in game mode, so I listened to music. When the race finally came around, I started pretty fast. I had already dropped everybody by the first lap. My first mile was on pace. I think if I had worn a watch at a race like this, I would have gone faster. The atmosphere was nothing like Simplot where every second of every lap there is somebody there to cheer. It helped having people on the back stretch cheering, but it only lasted a few seconds. Back to the race, I really tried to push laps 5 and 6, but mentally didn't have it. The last 800, I knew I had lost my chance, but still tried to push. I didn't have any music in my head, which didn't help. Emily closed the gap the last 2 laps, but didn't catch me. When I finished, I just didn't feel good. I was still really tired couldn't exactly breathe. Coughed a ton. I think being sick was still there a little. Cooled down half a mile wih Kelsey. We were both dead. When I got back, did another mile cool down with Ethan and Spencer.

It was fun watching the other races, but I didn't have energy. Finally could breathe again, which was good. I did not want to run the mile. My plan was to just strategize it. Warmed up a mile on the turf and again could not get into mental game mode. We were on the start when it hit that I had to race. It got a little chilly, and there was a breeze on the back stretch. I just stuck right behind Emily the whole time. We let the Box Elder girl get way ahead and lead the whole race. My 3200 splits were better than this race. At the last 400, I tried to sprint, but didn't have the energy and Emily passed me. It was all good, she did awesome. Again felt dead at the end. Glad my time was a 5:36, though. It was only 2 seconds slower than my first mile in the 3200. Rachel did amazing PRing in both her mile and 800. Same with Clara. Finally cooled down about 1.5 miles (last one with a bunch of guys on tree of life).  It was a super fun meet, and everybody did amazing.

Got a sunburn from yesterday, which wasn't very exciting. Didn't have school or a car, but I did have practice, so I ran to sv. It was really difficult, my hamstrings were pretty tight from yesterday. Running definitely loosened them out. Had to run with a drawstring bag which is always an adventure. Got there a little early and just waited. We had a meeting, then asked Coach what the plan was for today. He wanted us to go long and easy, but we had to stay close to the track. Rachel, Clara and I ran 2 laps waiting for the guys, then ran a mile or so on the course. When we got on the track, we were pretty dead... it was hot. We did plenty of laps. Luckily I had my gps watch because keeping track would not have been easy. Halfway, we flipped around and went backwards. The last 4 laps, we did 4x100m at about 80%. I didn't focus so much on speed, just stride. They felt good. We took plenty of water breaks. After, we stretched. It was a fun day, but miserable running long and easy on the track.

It was a dual meet today, and we had to run something, but Coach wanted us to just do a workout. It took Rachel and me a while to get going on a mile warm up. Then we stretched for the 2 mile. Our plan was to do the 2 mile tempo, then run one more tempo mile. The 2 mile was fun. The first mile was a party. Jordan N was going the same pace, so he just stuck with me. He did awesome, especially running in lane 2. Our first few laps were way fast, but we got into pace. Emily was awesome cheering for us at the long jump. First mile was a 6:08 (too fast), second was a 6:16 which was around a 12:25. Our goal was a 6:20 minute mile, but it wasn't too bad. The second mile was definitely harder. I let Jordan finish in front of me at the end. 3 minutes after I had finished, I was running another mile tempo. My whole body hurt. It was pretty miserable. Started by the range, ran around sv, turned towards Mack Park, but took a left at 300, then turned and finished right at church run finish. It was a long mile. .5 in, I was dying, and took a break. My mile was a 6:43, so not so good. It was longer than I expected. Saw Rachel, and cooled down with her. When we got back to the track, we watched races. I put on some sunblock, but I still got burned. Later did a mile with Kelsee, Danella, and Spencer. Talked to Ethan, then did one more mile. It was a really hot day, but a ton of fun. Jogged around throughout the meet. When I got home, I ran a quarter mile with Ruby to round out my mileage.

It was a really hot day. For our workout we just did something similar to Tuesday, but instead of 100s, we did 200s. I ran to Mack Park with Rachel. She was pretty sore, so we were going pretty slow. We did 2 200s at the park. They were both pretty slow. Running on the grass was difficult. As I was recovering half a mile, I saw the guys. It was hard to catch them, but they were just going up the canyon. Most guys turned around 1 mile ul. Ethan and Landon went up 1.5ish, then turned around, so I went with them. It was hard to keep up with them, but it was fun. Over this time we did maybe 5 total 200s, but they weren't fully 200s. Then we stopped at the park, again, and jumped into the river. I put my feet in, which was nice. Connor threw Ethan's shoes in the river, which was entertaining. Rachel and I finally ran back. it was about 6 miles at 7:53 pace.

At 4 we did a thing that consisted of short hill repeats in grass in spikes. It was fun, but different. Later we did some 100s and 50s on the track. We were all so hungry by the end. Ethan and I settled that we ran atleast 3/4 of a mile.

It was a shorter premeet than I had anticipated, but it was still way fun. We did Mack 'n back. When we got there we did 6 strides which lasted a long time. It was hard to run on the grass because my foot is being stupid. So the last three were on the path next to where everybody did their strides. Then we played some 10 dot dot, and hopped in the river. Sarah and I ran back because I had to get home early.

Today was a party like none other. I was not really prepped for these races mentally, but they were both wonderful. We drove down with mc, set up the tent, and and hour later, I was already warming up. One thing I regret was I forgot to eat breakfast and didn't realize til and hour before when it was a little too late. It didn't mess up my race, but I was hungry during the cool down. I was in the open 1600 and invite 3200, so the 2 races were 7-8 hours apart. My strategy for the mile was to stick with the pack, and go when I was ready. I warmed up a mile on a sidewalk I found, then did some stretches on the field. Jessica, from Bonneville, warmed up with me the rest of the time which was wonderful. I hate warming up alone. We jogged around and did some strides waiting for our heat to start. The weather was also better than expected. It was supposed to rain and be cold, but instead it was windy with sun. When our race started, I was nervous. My start wasn't amazing, but the entire race was a big pack. There were a few elbows thrown because the pack was pretty tight (not purposely from me). Our first 400 felt pretty fresh. At the 800, I still felt good. On the home sretch there was a headwind, but I always had somebody to draft off of. The third lap, anybody was there for the win. On the final lap, I felt amazinf. With 350 to go, I passed the leader. My form felt amazing. I was sprinting pretty hard. 200 to go, I could tell I had used so much energy. The last 100 was the craziest feeling ever. There was a headwind, 2 girls had passed me, and me and this other girl were battling it out. My thighs and butt have never burned so badly. It felt really long, but the last 10 meters, I surged and got 3rd. I was pretty happy about it. My time was a 5:20, which was right on the line for a pr. I was dead after. Cooled down half a mile on the turf while watching Ethan race. Then it rained, so we brought our stuff inside. Cooled down another half mile inside.

It was so much fun hanging with everybody at this meet. I got plenty of time to recover for the 2 mile. Finally warmed up. It was pouring outside, so I did 1.5 on the inside track. Didn't plan to go that far, but I was feeling really good. Went outside, and they were ahead, so I stretched, threw on my spikes, and checked in. It was wet. When our race started, I was cold, but I forgot about it by the first 100. Our start was so slow. The first 200 was maybe a 40, and the 400 was around a 1:22. I just stuck behind the pack. Before the first 400 was over, I moved my way up. On the first or second lap my right shoe had untied, which was the bothersome foot, and it was harder to get on my toes. The front pack of 3 girls was pulling away, and I couldn't let them get away. Before the first mile, they were too far ahead to catch. I didn't want to give up. Right before I told myself that I love the rain! It hurt. The first mile was a 5:37, so I knew I was on pace. Lap 5 and 6 are the laps I focus on because they're the laps that determine qqualifying or not. I just pushed through em. Again, it hurt. I could hear someone behind me, and I couldn't let her catch me, so I pushed even harder. The last 800, I had to hit a 2:50ish to qualify. Inreally struggled on the 7th lap, but when the last lap came around, I gave it my all. The last 300 was everything I had left. I hurt similar to the 1600, my thighs burned. I don't remember the last 50m, I was just running. When I finished I was pumped to be done. My sticker stuck to my jersey, but I put it over my old sticker stain, so it's okay! After congratulating a few girls, I started coughing. Couldn't stop for a while, meaning I was still feelining the aftermath of being sick from 2 weeks ago. I was so cold! When we finally got inside, I got on a dry shirt and shoes, and cooled down a mile with Ethan and Spencer on the indoor track. I don't know how much of a cool down it was, because we were going pretty fast, but it was still fun! I can admit that I amso sore, but I'm happy to finally be qualified for state in the 3200m. Lol, sorry this entry is a novel, but it is still pretty vivid.

Warmed up a mile with the girls. Our workout was 20x200@rpace with a 200 in between. I was still feeling amazing from last Saturday. It was pretty cloudy. As the workout went on, it got windy and rainy. The boys had a meeting, and we wanted to get in as many 200s as possible before lightning hit, so we started before them. They were all really good. I couldn't find my normal stopwatch, so I didn't get them recorded, but they were pretty consistent from 37-39s. I was supposed to hit 40's, but I only hit one that slow (my second). It was super rainy and cold, so after 10, I grabbed my jacket and after 11, I put my jacket on. I was so wet, it wouldn't go over my arms, and Coach pretty much had to help me get my jacket on which was pretty funny. That recovery was a little slow. My recoveries did get slower, but the front stretch headwind was so bad. At one point I think it hailed. Towards the end it got pretty intense. Then the lightning hit. I finished up number 15, then went inside. Inside, we did 1.5 laps for each 200 on the upstairs track. It mentally broke me, so I just hoped for 40 seconds hard. After, I cooled down a mile. It would've been nice to run the last 5 outside, but I'm glad we could finish.

Don't thinj we even got a mile warmup, but our cool down made up for it. We did 3 miles tempo. I was realy ready for his workout. The first mile, I stuck right behind the guys. It was windy, but I drafted which was nice. It was a 6:07. The first half of the second mile was slower, but I stayed right behind the pack which consisted of Jordan, Doyle, Reed, Cameron, JC, and Austin. After we turned around, the pack dropped and spread out. Coming back, the sun came out and it got super hot. I stuck with Jordan and Reed, Doyle wasn't too far behind. That mile was a 6:30. I wasn't mentally ready for the third mile. On top of that I had to use the bathroom. It broke me, and my form wasn't super great. If I could have mentally been there, I would have stayed with them. Doyle passed me, then Cameron. I finished that mile in a 6:50 which was sad. Oh well. My overall time was a 19:30, so not bad for that last mile. Cooled down a little over a mile.

Later, I ran 3 miles with Ruby. It was pretty windy.

I don't know why I didn't get in more mileage today. We had a recovery day where we went to Mack Park and played games. We did some strides there. Running on the grass hurt my foot, so I ran on the path. We played some new game pertaining to the ocean, then some good ol' 10 dot dot. When I got home, I was going to run more, but it never happened. Pretty mad at myself for not doing more.

We were required to run at a dual meet, so Coach told us to run the 3200m easy, then run long and easy. It was at Freemont. I warmed up .5 with Sarah, then paced her for a sub-14. She did awesome, getting a 13:57. It was fun cheering. I then warmed up/cooled down with people. I went 3 with the guys on a 5k course we found. It may or may not be Freemont's xc course, but it was on the road. Later did part of it with Clara. Got a total of 10, then hung out on the bleachers freezing with everybody else because it was a windy day. My foot was hurtong after all of the miles, but it will probably be my last long day over 10 until after state.

Premeet. Ran to Mack Park wih the girls. I did the 6 strides on the path again, still can't run on grass because any random angle makes my foot hurt. I went ahead because the breaks in between were so long. I finished my 5th, but then all the girls left after their 4th. Luckily, the guys were there, so I jogged around waiting for them. Ran back. My foot still hurt, but I should be fine racing tomorrow.
