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 really warm and I felt really good.  I pushed it a lot because it felt as if I hadn't run in forever when it was actually two days.

This morning I ran with the team about 3 miles.  It was quite a bit of fun except people need to push their speed more.  I needed to get more miles in so this afternoon I went another quick three.   I'm planning on running the Health Days 5K and I'm still going to train for the half, so I want a chance to sort of taper.  That's why I ran in the afternoon and morning which I don't plan on doing too much of, but it's really helpful for more miles.

Did the Little Ugly at school.  It was a lot of fun.  I just kept at a pretty constant pace  with short steps.  I was one of the few who didn't walk up at all.  We stopped about a third the way up and waited for everybody else to get up.  After a while, we began going down and because it's gravel, I didn't want to slip so I went slowly.  When we got to the end of the gravel road and onto the street, I began sprinting down the hill because I wasn't worried about slipping. I didn't really feel any burn the rest of the day because I'm used to going up hills already.  I can't wait to do the big ugly.

Woke up and ran the Health Days 5K.  I really wanted to get first overall in womens because last year I got second and the year before I got fourth.  Conner offered to pace me which is why he is one of the best older brothers ever.  I was pretty nervous because I wanted to PR and place first.  When it started I was planning to go slow, but I went faster than I had expected.  We were going up the canyon and around mile 1 my calves started hurting, but I kept pushing it.  When I got to the turn around point, my calves were burning, but I wanted to keep up with Conner.  Down the hill felt pretty good, except for my calves.  I didn't get a PR, but I still did win fisrt girl which made me really happy. 

After awards and everybody began leaving, I ran home slowly because I needed to get my long run in.  I took some detours to make it three more miles.  When I got home I asked my dad if I could run with him to the parade.  We ran four miles down their and I kept up with him pretty well because he wanted a certain average pace which was faster than I expected.  I had a really fun running day because I just ran wherever I needed to go which was different, but a lot of fun.
