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!

It was 23 degrees outside and I was gonna wear shorts, but last mintute, I gladly threw on some tights. I was hoping to do a track workout of either tempo 1000s or Russian Intervals, but after I warmed up 2 miles to the track, I found out it was snow covered.  I decided to give it a go, but only lasted a 100m, then slowed down.  My 200 time was a solid 1 minute.  I finished the lap, slowly, then decided to maybe just do church run tempo.  When I got off the track, I saw some of the distance guys. They invited me to run with them, so I did.  It was spontaneou ,  but really fun.  I was dying the first mile and it was Andrew's and Jordan's first run in three weeks, so we struggled to keep up with Ethan and Landon.  Then Ethan dropped his phone, so we got a good break.  We saw the other Jordan, and picked him up.  At mile three, everybody turned around except me, Ethan, and Jordan.  I was dying, but I knew the miles were what I needed. Ethan was probably going super slow for his easy pace, but it was fun to run with him and talk.  Half a mile before we turned around it got super slushy and difficult. We went up 5 miles up Smithfield Canyon. After we turned around, it was plenty easier.  My legs were really tired, too.  Jordan went home, then it was just me and Ethan.  My legs were dying the last mile.  I could tell Ethan wanted to go faster, but it was nice that he stayed with me. It reminded me of when Conner would run with me which made me happy. It was really fun.  It was super cold when we got back to Sky View and the sun was going down, which is one thing that sucks about after school running. Our average pace was a 7:45 which is good for me. I'm glad I got plenty of miles, but I was tired and didn't do anything for a couple hours.  I got in a super hard core workout before bed, which was good.

I was hoping to get more miles in, but I was super tired.  My whole body hurt, probably from the core workout yesterday. Well, I decided to do tempo, but it wasn't wih me.  After warming up a mile, I was tired.  My first mile was okay.  I wasn't really lengthening my stride like I try to for faster workouts.  My first mile was a 6:36.  Going up the gradual hill after that was where I knew this workout wasn't going great.  I didn't hit my splits for where I was supposed to be.  The half mile was around a 3:25, then the mile  ended up being a 7:18.  I then took a minute break and reminded myself to simply think here & now. Although my other miles weren't great, this mile would.  It ended up being a 6:27 which was good.  I didn't have a ton of time after that, so I cooled down a mile.  

After piano, I ran 2.75 on the treadmill.  I was hoping to do more, but my body was beat. I didn't have any energy, although I was eating a ton of food.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.  It was kinda fun, but could've been much better.

I went easy, and it was lightly snowing.  It was super pretty.  I felt good, but was still tired. I went up the canyon 2 miles, then was hoping to loop around to Sky View, to get in more miles. A little of the ways back down, I saw Ethan and went back up with him.  It definitely bumped up my average pace.  We turned around and went back to SV, then I ran 2 miles home.  It ended up beimg 6.75, and I was too tired, so it was shorter than planned, but fun.  My average pace was just over 8:00 because I had to go up 6th which is almost a full mile uphill.

I decided that I should do tempo. I wasn't feeling super tired, which was good.  After a mile warm up I went.  I did my favorite loop which is perfect because I know exactly where I need to be in time.  My first 3 miles were 1) 6:23, 2) 6:32, 3) 6:35.  I felt really good.  The slight uphills kind of got me, but I was able to come back for the rest of the mile.  The total time was a 19:32.  On the last mile, I turned the corner to sprint, but a car was right there, so I hopped in the snow which slowed me down.  I then took a quick 15 second break.  I was still feeling good, so I did one more mile which consisted of mostly downhill.  It was a 6:17 which was good. I was really tired and cooled down back home.  

When I got home, I did 4×200 at r pace because I hadn't done ANY speed since before Foot Locker and didn't want to kill myself at USU.  In between each 200, I ran a 200 recovery.  I just did them on my street where Conner measured our 200m.  My times were: 1) 41, 2) 39, 3) 40, 4) 38.  I felt really good, but my calves could feel it.  I was supposed to hit a 40, and these were perfect.  I went inside and waited awhile, then finally did 4 more miles.  They were super slow (like 10 minute mile slow), but they were chill and relaxing.

I did 2 miles premeet with Rachel.  They went by super fast.  After, I was gonna get in 2 more miles, but I kind of forgot.  It was fun, though.  Because I didn't get the extra 2 miles in, though, I didn't reach my mileage goal, but it's okay.

It was the USU Invite and I was ready to race.  I warmed up way too early (like an hour too early) with Rachel, which wasn't the best, but it didn't affect my race. In the 1600, my goal was a sub 5:40.  I knew it was fast for the first track meet of the year, but it ended up being good.  The only thing that scared me was the heat. When they were putting girls in, they stepped up at 5:10 and 5:20.  In my mind I was freaking out!  I was hoping to be in the first heat.  They then said if you can run under 6 go in the heat. That was a relief. 

I ended up starting on the outside lanes with a few other girls.  We had to stay there the first 150m.  When we got to the other side, the long jumpers were in a lane, so we were just sharing one lane which was crazy.  I felt like I had a good start.  It was actually really slow, too (around 42 for 200).  That wasn't bad.  There were only 2 girls in front of me at 400m, and I couldn't let them get away.  Over time, they did slowly pull, but I continued to put effort in.  I forgot how horrible a 200m track is, but it was good.  The last 600 I got on my toes. At around 200 left I questioned if I wanted to go, but I did anyways.  With 100m left I could hear a girl right behind me.  I was hoping to stride it in, but I couldn't let here pass me! We caught one girl, but she got me.  It was okay, I beat my goal! 5:37, I think was the time. I felt really good.  After Rachel's heat, we went on a .75ish cool down outside which is really nice after running inside.  It was cold, but the fact that it was snowing made me so happy. 

After a couple of hours the 2 mile finally came around.  I was hoping for a sub 12.  I knew I could hit it after all the tempo, but I didn't know about being on a track. I warmed up by doing laps inside of the field because everyone was mostly gone.  I then took a quick break, then finished to at least a mile with the boys. My calves were really hurting. They put the boys and girls together for the 2 mile because nobody runs it, especially indoor (you've gotta love 16 laps!).  The start was good.  I stuck with Billie and another girl. About 3/4 mile in, our splits were slowing down, so I passed them, and was alone.  The mile was around a 5:50.  I just kept running. The lat 400, my calves were buring.  I coasted in with a mile of 5:58 which meant my time was around 11:51.  It was really good, and fun.  I'm happy I got my goal.

It took a long time to get in a cool down.  I just ended up running to Ethan's house with him and Trevor.  It was fun.  I was dead, but we went slow.  It was almost 2.5 miles.

When I got home, I ran 2.75 on the treadmill.  I thought that was going to get me to 52.5 miles, but I was wrong.  I forgot to do 2 miles yesterday!  I didn't realize this until I was on my living room floor, dead, adding up my mileage.  It was okay, but I was bummed that I didn't get my goal mileage.  The USU meet was definitely fun.
