test entry

Didn't run today, got sick Saturday and trying to recover from that!

easy 3 with 4 200's. hurt my heel bad last night when i stepped on a huge thorn! it went right into my heel and made me bleed...so now i gotta get used to running on my toes.

Wasn't a good race for me...but I got 2nd for PV, 5 seconds behind Aubrey. I was a little sick and was coughing during the race. I need to remember to TRUST myself like coach told me and push harder. Our team did great!

I loved the run today! I got to run with the varsity girls and coach roberts. we ran 3 miles to green springs. It was a faster pace than i usually go but it felt good and i think i need to push harder to keep up that same pace. Did four 200's after with coach roberts.

Didn't run, went to the BYU football game!

Ran 3 miles at my grandpas farm in Payson with my cousin. Felt so good there!

easy 3 with four 200's. Felt good, really excited for race!

Region! I felt that I did good, and what really helped me was the talks we got last night at the team dinner about staying positive and the mental strength. It was a fun course too! The girls on our team really pushed me!

3 miles easy run to Green Springs! Felt good.

oh boy! we did a workout today. in the RAIN! Felt so great. I was freezing during pictures and the warmup though. then once we started the workout i felt fine. we did 800, 600, 400, 200, 400, 200. I pushed so i could keep up with Maquel and Aubrey. I even tried to stay with the varsity but they are just too fast!

I think we ran about 4ish miles??  we did hill waves at the middle school and it was a nice run. I really needed to work on pushing up hills more so i am glad we did those.

Harts warm and cool, then a workout on the track! (master blasters) we did a relay between a team of 3 people, running 4 200's. My team was super awesome and we won!! It was me, mia, and alli p. it was hard to recover after I ran a 200 cuz my teammates were super fast! It was a good workout, and i felt good today! So excited for state! our team will do awesome!

Ran three 1-mile laps around the high school in salt lake after a long bus ride. It felt super good. Ran alone for first 2 miles till I caught up with Liz, Taylor and Nicole. Then we did striders and those were fun.

My first time doing Sun rise hills! I did 3 of them and they were really hard! hills are really something i need to work on so i guess it is good that we practiced those. I felt kinda sluggish running after the break though.

Ran 5 to green springs! Felt really great! I ran behind the varsity for the first half and with Maquel on the way back. It was a fun run! I like green springs:)

I ran with JP, stoner, and mia. it was supposed to be an easy four miles, but trying to keep up with those three was not easy!! It was fun though. We ran past hot nails to the church and back. After the run we did striders- Mike tells me i land on my heels too hard so I tried to practice running on my toes on these.

We did a workout at the school where we ran hard 1 min, 2 min, and 3 min, with equal recovery for each. Then went back down starting with another hard 3. I actually liked this workout today. I kept up and ran with Aubrey and Taylor Boyer. Harts warm and cool- I have been feeling so sore since Monday!

Today was a super fun run! I loved it! I ran with Liz, Aubrey, and Taylor B. We ran 7 miles up foremaster and past the hospital. There was a ton of construction around Fossil Ridge where we ran so that was kinda scary. Today was my first time ever running a 7-mile run! And Tuesday was my first time running a 5-mile run! So I felt like I have ran alot this week. Probably the most I have this whole season. But I am so excited to race at Pre-Footlocker next Saturday! My first varsity race! gonna be great :)

So today we did a workout- Harts warm/cool except I wasn't able to finish the cool down....but we did a time trial of 2000 meters with a 3 minute recovery then 2x1000's. I got times that were alright, my biggest goal was to stick with Aubrey. She pushed me alot which was good. My 2000 was 8:11 with a split time of 3:50 and 4:21. So that wasn't very consistent. The first 1000 I got 4 minutes and the Second I got 4:08. My breathing was really terrible today! I just hope i will feel better tomorrow!

Today I a ran 4 miles to Green Springs. I felt pretty tired. My little sister beat me in each of the striders afterwards. :) My goal for Michigans: finish. possibly get "B" standard.

am: This is the first time I have gone to a morning practice. It was super cold! but after the warm up I felt a little better. I finished the michigan and I got B standard! My time was 34:55. I ran by Maquel and we just pushed eachother the whole time. I was hoping I would be able to stay with Chancie though. It was a good workout-hard, but good. Now that I have a time I can have a goal for the next one!

4 miles dog pound run. Felt good today but super tight and sore ever since Michigans! I can barely walk without my calves hurting! 400's afterwards which I felt pretty great!

Ran 4 miles (with fartleks) after a looong car ride to American Fork. It was cold but felt good to get my legs stretched out.

My first varsity race! We woke up at 6:30 to a yummy breakfast at Taylor B's Grandparents house. We raced at 8:30 and it was brrr chilly. We ran a 2ish-3ish mile warmup and barely made it to the starting line before the gun went off. We started and I focused on not falling away too far from Aubrey and Liz for the first mile and a half. The last half of the race coach roberts and coach holt told me to catch Liz. So I gave it all that I had the last half and finished right after her. It was a fast race and I liked the course alot. Fun being up there with the team :) Looking forward to racing again in a couple weeks in Arizona!

6-mile run: My legs felt tired today! First 3 miles i didnt feel very good but the last 3 i felt better but just took it slow. Fun running with Megan and Maquel :)

am: a nice 3 miles to artic circle*

pm: we had a hard but good workout today. 2 sets of a 1200, 1000, 800, and 600 with 3 minutes for recovery in between each one. Harts warm/cool. I really pushed myself and felt really good! I tried to stay with Kaelie during these and she helped me push harder. My times were pretty good but I was alot slower on the 2nd set than i had hoped. Overall, great workout!

Four miles to Green Springs- felt really tired today. but good overall.

am: 3*

Time trial! I ran about a mile warm up cuz i was late...but the race felt pretty good. I was just focusing on not letting the gap get big between alli, kaelie, aubrey, and me. 

After the time trial we ran an easy 2 miles plus 4x200's on the track. My legs felt really tight and painful during those 2 miles but I hung in there! :)

4 miles plus striders. I was really tired today but I had fun.

Workout: 1000's today! (Harts warm and cool) 4x1000- I felt really good with these. I'm pretty sure my times were right where they should be: 3:47, 3:46, 3:49, and 3:45. Coach wouldn't tell us how many of these we had to do so I just went out and did my best for each one!

am: 3 miles* dressed warmer but still really cold!

pm: I absolutely loved the run today! :) It was fun-we ran an easy 4 miles to starbucks with striders after which felt good but i realized i really need to roll out my legs!

4 miles into Washington with four 200's. It was great! I am super excited for Arizona! Gonna give it my best!

am: 3 miles* Felt good

Drove a long drive to Flagstaff and when we got  there we ran 4 miles to shake our legs out, really tired.

am: ran a cool 3 miles on a sweet trail! i wasn't feeling my best though :(

pm:  we around the course for about 3 miles then ran some striders. thinking alot about the race.

Afterwards we played some fun games of volleyball which I smoked everyone at :)

Before the race we ran the course for almost 3 miles which is a big warm up for me.

Race: I felt like I had a good race with one of my better times. The gun went off and for the first mile I tried to not let the gap get too big between Aubrey and I. My first mile time was 7:03 which was alright, I was still feeling good. The second mile, I don't know if I pushed as hard as I could've. But I stuck with a small group of girls to help push me. Aubrey got really far ahead of me but I tried to keep her in sight. My 2 mile time was 14:40 or something like that. I'm not quite sure. The last mile I pushed alot harder and passed the small group i was with and started passing more girls. The last 1000 meters or so i was able to pass about 3 or 4 people and finished strong with a 22:55. I am pretty sure thats a new PR for me! Overall great race and our team did good!

This was one of the most hardest and fun run ive done for a long time! For my first time we did the rollercoaster run which was really fun. But the first half I felt really horrible! I think I was just really tired from running over the weekend. I was running really bad but after the rollercoaster part it started to get better. stretched really good afterwards.

1000's today! We started with harts warmup and then began the workout. I started out fine, feeling good, with a time of 3:45. The next one I fell off my group a little bit and ended with a time of 3:51. The third I pushed a little harder, ended with a 3:51 again. The last one I finished strong with a 3:50. We finished with Harts cooldown. Overall, pretty good workout.

am: Mike and I went to the High school and did striders with paul, colton, byron, and abel. IT felt weird doing them before my run. Then I ran 4 to starbucks by myself while mike did 5 to target. I felt so great during this run!

pm: Ran a good pace for 3 miles with Michael. He's not too shabby :) We talked alot about Footlocker. I am so excited for it!

am: Ran an easy 4 miles at my Grandma's house. Weather was great! 

am: ran a mile to Payson High school and then did four 200's on the track. Then ran 3 more which I felt sick cuz I ate so much food yesterday.

Footlocker race! I PR'd by alot, felt great, and had fun. The course was so fun just because it was different. I didn't do as good on the uphills, but I killed the downhills. Nicole and I were together almost the whole time. She passed me on uphills, I passed her on the down:) Super fun trip and great race to end the season.
