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!

For practice we went up Smithfield Canyon for 35 minutes.  I felt like we were going at a nice pace at first, but we kept slowing down.  Around 2 miles I kind of sped up and went ahead of the pack to push the pace, but only Lauren followed.  We went up to the nine mile mark from my house which was only probably 8.5 miles or more from SV.  We went at a slower pace down, but it felt nice and easy.  It was about 8:30 minute miles.  When we got back we did a bunch of striders, so I added those into my miles making them total 9.  It was really fun.

I didn't really want to go fast, but I did want to get some tempo in, so I tried to get 5 miles at 7 minute average.  It didn't work out as I had planned. My first 4 miles times were: 1) 7:01 2) 7:05 3) 7:16 4) 7:04.  I really wanted to give up, but for some reason I didn't stop. The fourth mile was all downhill, so I'd have to go uphill to get back and I thought "Why not try going uphill?" That wasn't my favorite idea.  The hill wasn't super fast (about .3 miles in 2:44). When I got to the top I took a 45 second break because I was dying.  The last .7 was around 5:03 which made that mile 7:47.  Tge total time (including the break) was 37 minutes which is decent.  My cool down mile was barely under 10 minutes because I didn't want to go very far, but it was a good run.  I hopefully can get 5 miles under 7 minutes for tempo one day.

BEAST!!! Yeah, that's what we did at practice.  We had a mile warm up.  The hill is about 300 meters and not a fun one.  My times were: 1) 1:09 (fast!) 2) 1:16 3) 1:17 4) 1:20 5) 1:19 6) 1:22 (slow!)  7) 1:17 8) 1:17.  Our recoveries went from 2 and a half minutes to almost 4.  The two that were with me the entire time were Katelyn and Lauren.  Our first one we did with all the fast people (boys).  Then, we actually went our own pace.  After the fourth or fifth we went in some sprinklers which felt amazing.  I forgot until half way to start out slow and speed up which is why I died every time.  Us and MaraLee were the only girls to do 8 total and we finished last, but that's okay! :) We went back to SV super slow because we were so dead.  It was worth it and I hope I can do it again this summer because hills suck. When we got back to SV we did some striders (which sucked) and stretched (which felt good).

I was so tired from yesterday so I planned on doing 6 miles around 8 minute pace.  I was so dead it took me 48 minutes to do 5 miles.  It felt good to go slow and easy, though.  I was happy I didn't have to do anything exhausting.

At practice we ran 2 miles (slow).  I wanted to catch up with the lead girls because I started out slow, but there wasn't much distance to catch up.  After that we played Ultimate Frisbee which was fun.

Afterwards, I ran 4 more slow miles.  My last bit, I was sprinting really hard which felt good.  At the end I was going race pace because I wanted to go fast.

Best tempo run this summer! I felt really good this morning, but I knew I had to do 9 miles.  I decided I'd do 3 tempo and see how I'd feel.  1) 6:37 2) 6:37 3) 6:39 which added up to 19:55.  The weird thing was that I kept myself going.  I knew I could do it and my miles were 5 seconds slower than they needed to be.  After a 5 minute break I did 2 more fast miles (trying to get 7 minutes)  4) 7:00 5) 7:12  For a cool down I did an 11 minute mile becaus I was exhausted!  Then I did 3 easy miles with Ruby (my dog) 7) 9:06 8) 9:27 9) 9:38.  I was tired, but happy to get my miles in and to get sub-20.
