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!

We warmed up a mile to Mack Park.  I knew what we were doing, and really didn't want to do them. 6x1000 @ ipace w/ 3:00 recovery.  We were supposed to hit 3:44 according to our v-dot, but our times were all way slow.  1) 3:55, 2) 3:54, 3) 3:57, 4) 3:59, 5) 4:01, 6) 3:58.  For our recovery we found a 200 course to follow, so we could finish on a downhill.  I was happy with how well I felt, but I was mad that we weren't hitting v-dot times.  It could be from the grass and hills we were hitting instead of the flat track.  We cooled down a mile back to sv which felt good.  I was happy to be done with that one.

I wanted to go tempo, even though I went hard yesterday, which was a bad idea.  My first mile was 6:42.   It didn't get any better.  2) 7:35, 3) 7:31, 4) 8:32 (hard uphill).  I mentally wanted to go fast, but physically I thinkg I was just tired.  I then cooled down a mile with Ruby.  It was fun, but hard.

At practice we warmed up about half a mile, then did 3 miles tempo.  We did church run which is easier than some of the others.  We planned to hit maybe 6:40s.  I wanted to go faster, to see how fast I might go with people, but that turned out to be a good goal.  The first half was easier and felt good.  Coach came to pace us the last half which helped a TON at the end.  When we turned around it got a little more difficult because you could see ohw much uphill there was to do.  I was also tired from the last 2 hard days.  When we were going downhill I hoped it would've gotten easier, but it didn't.  At the end, I sort of sprinted, but it wasn't super fast.  The times we got were 1) 6:37, 2) 6:38, 3) 6:27.  That added up to 19:52.  I was super tired afterwards.  I tried jogging to cool down, but it was really difficult.  I cooled down maybe half a mile.  Then we went to Ihop which was a ton of fun, but I was really tired.

In the evening I went 5 easy miles.  I thought it was going to rain, but it didn't.  It was just really muggy.  It ended up taking me 44 minutes because I was so tired.

Premeet today, I ran 4 slow miles.  The first 3 were 8:30 pace and the 4th was 9:30.  When I was done I did 4 strieders.  I was hurting from some hip exercises we did yesterday, so it felt good to go easy.

Today was blue and white.  I got there and wanted to be in "race mode," but I really wasn't.  I was nervous because I thought, what if I don't make it onto varsity?  We only warmed up 1/4 of  a mile because none of us wanted to get going.  I didn't know it was girls and boys together until we lined up.

Our start was good, about a minute and a half quarter mile.  I did start out slow, but caught up to Megan and Lauren while we were still on the track. We just stuck together.  After the second time on the canal, I didn't want to keep going.  Lauren and I just stayed together.  When we had about 800 left I asked her if we should sprint.  She didn't want to.  We mostly coasted in until the last 200 when I said, "Let's get under 21:00."  She sprinted ahead and beat me by 3 or 4 seconds.  My time was 21:01.  It felt good and I was happy to be done. 

Afterwards we didn't really cool down, maybe a quarter of a mile.  I was just happy to be done.  I didn't actually feel like I had ran a race, like I wasn't very tired.  That was really nice.  I knew I could've gone much faster, but didn't.

I think I went nine miles.  It was super slow and I just wanted to get over with it. I did a 4, then a 5 mile loop.  I was mostly trying to get my miles up.
