In Blanding, Utah at 6,500ft elevation. It was hard to breathe but I was at a 6:27 average pace and was relaxed. Train insane or remain the same. Not going to get lazy on spring break!!!

​

Speed workout today!! Working with the distance team to get better endurance for the 800. We did 2x600m, 500m, 400m, 300m all at mile pace. It was hard cause if the elevation and cause I'm still getting used to the mile workouts. I was hitting the times I want. Cooled off with 3 laps. It was a grew workout!

​

Just a distance run today..felt like poop. That's all I have to say.

Warmed up a mile. Came out fast but perfect for the first 100m. Was leading the race but I got scared so let some kids pass me....should've lead the race. Last 400m I decided to pick up the pace, at the last 200m I kicked in and passed everyone. Got 1st with a 1:57...wasn't the time I wanted but it was a pretty good race!

Did speed with the 400 runners today! It was pretty hard! 500, 400, and 2 200's all out. It hurt but was good. Felt good to go fast again. We finished with a mile cool down. Took an ice bath and it was amazing! 

Shout out to Austin and Connor for ice bathing today! 

Well today was a great day for racing. Did a warm up run for about 5 minutes on the indoor track. Came out at a good pace the first 100m and was in second then dropped to 3rd. Held my spot for the first lap and a half the I kicked it in at the last 200m and passed the first 2 guys. The last 100m, I felt super good. I got a 1:54 and broke the school record.

Shout out to Kaylee Kenison for PRing by 11 seconds in the 3200m! She's the hardest worker I know!

Recovery today and my mileage is now 4 miles. Biked today...pretty relaxing.

​

Speed today!!! 800 workout. We did 3x300, 200, 100. Was doing it at 1:53 pace. Legs got a little heavy on the 2nd set but got through it. Did a 2 mile run after PT.

​

Did 4 miles today. We did a distance run with 10 1minute pick ups through out it. I was only able to get 6 since my mileage is so low. Felt pretty good. Ran past the missionarys...thought that was cool! Strected for while and took an ice bath. 

PRE-MEET!!! Running the 400 tomarrow! And it's PROM!!

Just a distance run today. Didn't know my pace cause my watch band shaped on Saturday so that a bummer. And I was running by myself because I missed practice for the dentist so it was hard to go at the pace I wanted. Was a little tight today. Glad to be at 4 miles.

​

​

​

Speed today!! Didn't feel the greatest but I pushed through! I want a 1:53 this weekend and this workout is a good way to help! We did 2x200, 800, 400, 200, 200, 200. Thee 200s were at 800 pace and the 400 at mile pace and the 800 at 2 mile pace. It hurt and my legs got heavy but pushed through! Took an ice bath and had coach Rowe lecture me for a few minutes! :D Today could've been better but I can't complain!:)

​

BYU was today...got some new spikes about 2 hours before my first race. They are New balance md something. Qualified for state in the 4x400. Our time was 3:25 and we took 2nd over all. Then I had the 800...wasn't a very good race. Got boxed in and just wasn't the best race..got a 1:56 and wanted a 1:53. I'll get it at state!!!!

​

Warm up 1/2 mile and did 5 or 6 150s at 800 pace. Did blocks! Got to use my sick new spikes!!! I'm running the 400 @ region just for fun!;) Got to get ready for state!!!!! Took an ice bath and went home!

We had our last speed workout today. We did 200m at 800 pace, jog a 100 and sprint the last 100. We did that 3 times and hit all the times I wanted. Cooled down for like 2is miles. My calf was a little tight so I stopped so I wouldn't risk anything. Was a good day!!

​

First day of XC practice! Did abs with the team for 10 minutes. Ran 2 miles at a 7:15-7:30 pace. Felt good the first mile and the second mile wasn't feeling the best but that's what happens when you come off a break for two weeks!

​

Just 2 easy miles again. Hamstrings hurt a little but I think I'll be fine. 

Another 2 easy miles. We did "weights" as well.

Got to do 4 miles today!!!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome! Ran the Lehi Round up parade and some more (the parade was only 2 miles). I got a lot of high 5's from a lot of little kids...and Collin's mom. Rolled out and iced for 15 minutes. 

Well we did a timed hill run today (still don't have a name for the workout yet) and did a lot better today. Didn't go out at 800 pace this time so that made it a lot easier. Did a 1.3 cool down...my milage is so low I really can't do much after. Did abs and a ice bath.

Easy recovery run today. Going to aqua jog later tonight.

Was a easy run. Made it a lot harder then I was supposed to. haha

Another easy run today. Jamie let me bump my mileage up by .5 and it was aweseome! I ran with Brin Jenson's little bro so that was fun. Got back did an arm workout and took an ice bath.

We were at high mileage today. 4 is my high and it felt so good. My average pace was a 6:39...it felt slower but whatever. Going to go aqua jogging later. 

Recovory today, thank goodness! My legs were heavy! It's probably all the food I ate last night. But other than that it was a pretty good run. I was at like a 7:30 average. Going to aqua jog later. 

Well it's cross train day. I went to the legacy center in Lehi and biked for 30 minutes then aqua jogged for another 30. Stationary bikes aren't fun at all!

Whistle hills today! Most of the team did them at an earlier time than me but that's okay. They were pretty hard today. I got the ultimate "Sprinter butt" (My legs were swelling up faster and getting heavy) so that made it hard. But it felt good to go as fast as possible again. cooled down with kaylee for 2.5 miles and we also took an ice bath. 

Just a recovery run...also had an intense game of 4 square.

​

Well happy 24th everyone! Did a road race this morning! The temple to temple 5K. Well the first mile we were weaving through people and it was a pretty steep hill. But the last 2 Mile were flat. It was hard but it was good for me. After the race, Kaylee and I cooled down to my car for a half mile. Took an ice bath and cought some pokemon.

Today was the 6 minute test! If you don't know what that is, its to  see how many laps you can get on a track in 6 minutes.

Went out fast for the first lap (TOO FAST! It was like a 63), and tried to pace with Mike the whole time. He pulled away for 2 laps and on the 4th lap I cought him and passed him. I got 5 laps and 55 meters. My calfs hurt like crazy!!

PRE-MEET!!! Got to run with the team at SUU.

Warmed up a mile. The race was slow. My legs were tired from all the speed we did this past week. But my mental game was great! So I took 11th but they only gave awards to the top 10...I was so mad so I stole the team award for the weekend. Oh and idk what time I got so ignore the time I wrote.
 

Well it was a good day to run. Went and ate 7 pieces of french toast at Kneaders....i regret it all. Watched conference and then ran 5 miles at a 7:16 average.

Today we had a fun workout. 10x400m, first 5 were at 5k pace, then the next 3 were 2 mile pace, and mile pace and all out. My legs were heavy but that didn't stop me. I was consistant with all of my times and they were the times i wanted. The last 400 hurt so good. Hit a 59 on that one. Did the rest of my mileage on the bike and had Austin roll me out. Then took an ice bath when I got home.

Well we did a recovory run. My solious was tight and hurting but it feels great now. Did speed changes on the football field and took an ice bath.
