Short-Term Running Goals: Get back into shape
Sub 19 5k by mid August Long-Term Running Goals: Continue to love the sport
Run a marathon (or many) 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! Favorite Blogs: |

| Today was my first actual day running with the cross country team and I was so excited! I woke Conner up 15 minutes before we had to leave which I don't think he was too happy with. When we got there everybody had already stretched. I did some quick ones which was a mistake. We didn't do any warming up, either. We did some hills which I was excited for. When we started up 6th South I was going at an easy pace trying to just stay back with the girls, but it felt as if they were going too slow, so I sped up. When we got to about 2 miles my calves began to hurt because I didn't stretch. I slowed down a bit. Because my calves hurt and I didn't want them to hurt any more, I didn't go the long way which was only a mile longer. When we started getting to the school, I saw this big group of girls running and I thought I had gone the wrong way, but I knew where I had gone was the right way. Turns out they were the soccer girls. Afterwards we did core, which didn't hurt because I do planks and other workouts, but the workouts were really different. It was a lot of fun and I'm SO excited for cross country this fall!!!

Did the Utah Valley Half Marathon. Woke up around 2:30 and got ready. At 3:00 my cousins picked me up because two of them were doing the full and one was doing the half which meant I wouldn't be alone at the start. It was perfect temperature outside before it started. I was further in the back when it started because it was so crowded! When I started off I felt as if I was going too fast, but I didn't want to slow down. I just continued running pretty much the rest of the time. I got water at almost every station because my throat kept getting sort of dry. Once when I went to get water, I accidentally tipped it all over a lady because she was holding it wrong and I felt really bad. The water people (volunteers) need to learn to hold the rim, not just place it on top of your hand which is why I tipped it. I did the same thing to a lady at the Ogden Half with Gatorade, too. Towards the end (maybe mile 9 or 10), I was going and so many people were passing me! I was trying to go as fast as possible, but people were still passing me! Usually that mentally messes me up and it really did. When I got to the road where you can see the finish for two miles many more people began passing me! Later on I found out they were part of the 10K. I tried to sprint, but it didn't feel as if I was going any faster.
My time was 1:39:41 whiched didn't surprise me because I didn't think I'd beat my Ogden Half time. It was only two minutes slower, though. I had a lot of fun! I got first in my age group and pretty much slaughtered my record by about eight minutes. Last year I did by about ten minutes, so I hope I keep the record for 14 and under for quite a while. |
