Personal:

Freshman Year

Joining cross country my freshman year I didn't know what to expect. I came during the summer and did the workouts, I wasn't too serious about them but I didn't screw around either. At the alumni I got 21:51, not that fast but I still made it to Highland. At Highland I got 18:29, I was really suprised I did so well, I know the course is only 2.9 miles, but still. After that I started getting really serious with cross country. After a couple of more meets I made it to varsity. At the beginning of the year I would have never guessed that I would run varsity. At the end of the year I got the outstanding freshman award, I was proud to get it. My PR for this year was 17:52. My first year of cross country was really fun and it motivated me to work hard the next summer for the next season. I also did track, which wasn't nearly as fun as cross country. I only ran the 1600m and the 800 and I pretty much ran the same times for the whole season.

Sophomore Year

Sophomore year for Cross Country went pretty well. We all trained hard during the summer and it really payed off. The season was a bit bumpy for me, I wasn't really getting consistent times. One meet I would run a low 17 and the next a high 17. In the end the season turned out really fun and I hit a really big PR from last year.

Track went pretty well too. We started training and had some meets during the winter. This year I actually ran the 3200m and liked it a lot. I PR'd in pretty much every race that I ran in, it felt good. As I raced this season I felt more controlled and like a much more mature runner, even more than cross country.

Today was our last day of school so summer running has officially started. Don wanted me to start doing some of the workouts that we have planned for the summer right now. I did one of the tempo runs by myself in Nibley. It was a 1 mile warm-up and then 20 minutes at 5:50 pace and then a mile cooldown. I couldn't quite make the 5:50 pace but I averaged 6:05. I'm happy because we did this exact workout on the first day of summer running last year and I could barely maintain a 6:50. Super pumped to have some fun workouts.

So today I ran in the hottest part of the day and by the time I was done I was just drenched in sweat. I just did 6 miles easy recovery from yesterday. I was really sore so I had to run a lot slower than usual.

Today I ran right before the sun went behind the mountains and it felt super good outside. I did an easy 6 miles around the 10k loop in the new shoes. My feet hurt after the first time I wore them, today it wasn't as bad.

Did the same 6 mile route as yesterday at a slightly faster than average pace. Next time I'll be running it'll be at 6am on monday morning with the new team! I have to miss Tuesday and Wednesday for trek, but I'm super excited to get that over with and start the summer grind.

First summer run with the team, 6 easy miles at 6'42" average pace. It's super nice to actually be running with other people again. I leave for Trek right when I get home and I'll miss the next two days of running.

I got home from Trek today in the afternoon. I got home earlier than I thought that I would so I decided I would go for a short run. I did 3 miles really easy. I had to go when it was still hot outside and it really sucked. I was really fatigued the entire run, I was just so exhausted from trek. I hope I'm not so tired tomorrow.

Three easy miles in the evening, I ran the nibley 5k loop. 7'05" average pace

Three miles up Baxter Hollow and back with the team in the morning. Going up I wasn't really feeling that good, but going down I felt amazing.
