just for the run of it

today there was no school!! we had practice at 10 which meant i got to sleep in (:(: we have simplot this week so we are on low mileage. did a one mile warm up then had 10x400s at goal two mile pace. my times consisted between 81 and 85s which is about 10:50-11:20 range. don't know if ill be going quite that fast, but i defintely am going to try and qualify for finals which would probably require around an 11:45. after the 400s we had 2x100 m finishes which i felt like I had a lot better form. shoutout today goes to the boys cause i had no girls to do the workout with and they killed it. grateful for my watch, sir watch, cause he did a stellar job of pacing.

ran loop by watson and guppys house but backwards. it was solid and felt nice and the weather was fabulous. grateful for shorts weather. shoutout to rachel for helping me fix my watch.

ran mileage and pre meet. wasn't feeling super great after pre meet so took that pretty slow. sami needs to come back cause i miss her. 

so today was quite the day. sami Collin and guppy and i drove up to Pocatello (3 hours) and got there and since the track is super sloped, guppy and i ran 1000 m on it to get used to it. had a few hours before i raced so just chilled and watched the boys race. shoutout to connor cause he made it finals! and shootout to tom for getting 15th which is hecka awesome! finally warmed up a mile outside which wasn't too cold. got ready for my race and started out. went faster than I was planning on but went with it cause i was feeling good. got a 5:45 first mile then focused on staying with girls and passing them.shoutout to papa heaps cause he coached me so well through that race. i had a pretty strong finish and passed a girl in the last 60 m. got a pr of 11:43 which got me 8th overall which qualifies me for finals on Saturday!! so I'll be back :) cooled down .6 by myself then did a mile with sami. got some cafe rio which was FANTASTIC. well peace out until tomorrow.

ran 3.25 with watson and sami (guppy a lil) and did the loop. it was nice and slow, my legs defintely needed it. they wanna be all rested up for tomorrow. after the loop i did 3 strides to get my legs going a tiny bit fast. i cooled down the rest on the turf which felt super amazing. grateful for the beautiful sky. shoutout to guppy and connor cause they're gonna kill it tomorrow!

ran .5 cause my legs were feeling rusty from the car ride. about 45 min before i warmed up a mile. started on the race and went out way too fast. my first mile was somewhere from a 5:30-5:40. my legs felt super tired from thursday and i lost it mentally. definitely should've started out slower and built up. the second mile was what got me. i ended with an 11:55 which considering the car ride and racing on Thursday, wasn't too bad, i just wish i had a stronger mental game and was able to push myself a little bit more. im so ready for outdoor season and im already wanting to race again. shoutout to jamie cause she's the best coach ever. and grateful for naps cause i took a pretty quality one after my race.

ran 4 during lunch today cuz work. started at a pretty fast pace but after about the first mile and a half my calves just felt wrecked. slowed it down to more recovery which was good. after school i ran 2 with the good ole crew. tried playing chicken with the guys but my shoe got stuck in a fence lol. my calves felt better so that was good. 

today we ran up dreammaker to prepare for awesome week here in a few days. actually had to take off my jacket and gloves cause it was so hot!!! made a solid loop back to the high school for 5 miles. watson and i finished up a mile on the turf because my calf still hurt a bit, but barefoot running is a nice remedy. had upper body weights. then we did some abs outside cause it was so warm!! shoutout to Collin and the other guys for doing them with us girls. sami and i had a mini yoga sesh which was high class. after that i went in and bike 1 min on 1 off 3 on 3 off 5 on 5 off then did that set again except the 5 min one cause Dallin and i had to go. 

woke up pretty early this morning and had a nice run. it's weird running in the morning but it makes me miss summer practices. 

did the mile loop and then a turf mile to warm up. had a mile of speed, 2 sets of 200-400-200 with the 200s at 800 pace and the 400s at mile pace. hit all my times, but the workout was a lil harder than expected. did another mile and a half on the turf cause my calves were burnin. then sami and i went on main and did a mile and a half to finish up her mileage. came back and did another mile on the turf cause why not. grass runnin at its finest. did some abs with sami. realized it's really hard to abs while laughing. then sami and i did some squats. shoutout to sami for rolling me out after that cause my legs feel super good. i biked a set of 1 min on 1 min off 3 min on then 3 min off then 5 min on 5 min off. i realized i also had some upper body weights so then i did those. solid day, it was so pretty outside.

got up this morning and biked to give my calves a bit of rest before awesome week. 

today i actually got to sleep in so that was solid. i ran up into highland on a nice distance run. it was so pretty and i love running in the mornings. shoutout to dallin for running with me! 

mile warm up then for the start of awesome week we got to run the dream maker. that's the first hill workout ive had in awhile. by the end of it my legs hurt so bad, but it felt good finishing. crazy winds were not in our favor, but i mean, what are ya gonna do. shoutout to my good ol pal watson for having an awesome kick at the end. 

ran 3 before the workout today because i had work. did a half mile warm up on the turf. the workout today for day 2 of awesome week was 5x500s at 800 pace with 6 minutes of rest inbetween. my focus was to hit my times on the 400s and give the rest that i had on the 100. wasn't able to hit all my times, but i felt like i really pushed myself. i definitely enjoyed this workout better than yesterday, and i felt like i had a better effort. shoutout to Mario cause she got to do 3 with us! and shoutout to the whole team cause we are pretty much halfway through awesome week.

recovery run today with watson. we ran up by samis house and around there. it was very warm and so great. also, my spirit animal is an arctic fox so that's high class.

today was a really good distance run kinda out towards willowcreek. we kept a good steady pace and my legs felt really good. also there was this random guy in a truck that was following us around and cheering us on so that's a plus. shoutout to him.

speed day 3 of awesome week did not disappoint. we had 3 sets of whistle hills, the first two were 15-20-25 seconds and the last one was 20-25-30 seconds. i really tried to push myself this workout, especially the last set. by the end i felt like i was gonna throw up, so i guess you could say that's a success. watson and i cooled down by 12th east and went back to the high school to do abs, but you know that turned out into more of an ice war which felt so nice in the blazing heat.

today we warmed up on the turf a half mile cause our workout had a lot of mileage. we had 20x400s, split into sets of five. the first set was 5k pace, which felt super slow, but defintely not something you wanna push when you got 15 more ahead of you. the second set was 2 mile pace. i ran this set with guppy so that was sick. got a lil more tired but still not bad. third set of five was current mile pace. watson and i were very consistent which was good, but i started to feel pretty tired. last set was just faster and what we could do, so watson and i did about 3ish seconds faster for the first four and the last 400 we went all out. i got about 5 seconds faster so i felt good about that, and watson killed it with a 72!! overall the workout was hard but rewarding and i liked it a lot more than i thought i would (: afterwards we had breakfast but i just had orange juice cause all the sprinters stole the good food. played some ping pong and speed with sami so shoutout to her for killin it today and playing games with me! unshoutout to Collin for stealing all the warm blankets.

today was just so fabulous. guppy watson rachel and i met up at the park and ran on the Murdock trail! it was recovery today but thankfully i was feeling pretty good (: afterwards we got breakfast at kneaders which was super high quality and highly recommended. 

today i ran a 4 mile loop by watsons and guppys house then went back to the high school and did 5x150 m buildups and some jogging inbetween to finish up mileage. it felt super nice outside but my feet and calves were really hurting today, so hopefully when i get my new shoes here in a few weeks that'll help.

warmed up on main 1.5 then got back for the circuit workout. it was 3 miles with lunges and squats and such inbetween the 400 and 800s. we ran it on the turf which felt super nice. finished up mileage with guppy on the road since i got sick of the turf. shoutout to guppy today cause she's the bestest. and collin for doing the math with me last night. that was rough stuff

ran 3.25 during lunch at a fast distance run pace and it felt so good. after school i ran 1.75 on the turf for a warm up. just had a mile left so i went out with the girls and turned back halfway up the over pass. oh and y'all should vote MaKiah for student body president tomorrow.

1 and a half mile warm up down main with guppy. started the workout, it was 2 sets of 800-600-400-200 with 2 min rests inbetween and 4 min between the sets. the 800 and  600 were at 2 mile pace and the 400 and 200 were at mile pace. pretty solid workout, except the 2nd 800 i kinda lost it until mario yelled at me so shoutout to her for that and being able to do the whole speed workout! cooled down a mile and a half with guppy and sami out by state street, and then sami and i did a half mile on the turf. it felt good to have more speed, but awesome week defintely wrecked me. and seriously im so ready to race again, it's been too long.

today i woke up pretty early and couldn't go back to sleep. that's ok tho, cause i got to see the sun rise on my run this morning. i ran to the af rec center which turned out to be almost exactly my mileage. i got there right when yoga started and did that. my left leg was kinda bothering me on the run, but i think it's just from the workout and like turning on the track. after yoga, i biked 20 minutes and then did my abs. came home and made myself a super delicious breakfast and took a 2 hour nap, so id call today pretty successful .

today we had high mileage for like the first time in forever! the first few miles were kinda rough with the wind and all but the second half of the run flew by so fast!! man i just love running with the girls. it actually felt so good today and that made me really happy (: today's a swell day. shoutout to sam for being my fam and also shoutout to the horse that let us pet it. it was a really pretty horse.

did a mile warm up and then surprise speed. it wasn't too bad at all though. we at 6x400s at current mile pace (5:30) then 3 min rest inbetween each. hit 83 81 83 79 75 73. it felt really good and refreshing. we will see if im tired during the meet tomorrow. watson and i cooled down 3 and a half by mainish and then a half mile on the turf. shoutout to watson cause she's finally back with us (well yesterday too) and not at disneyland. obviously we are much more fun than the happiest place on earth.

did a 2 mile loop shakeout run by my house cause we had high mileage today. it was much needed and felt super nice since my legs were a lil rusty from speed yesterday. got to lp and sat around for quite awhile cause the 800 was towards the end. sami and i warmed up a mile. did some strides with sami and then we were up to the line. they split us into two heats, sami and i went into the first. started out and got pretty boxed in. i spent the first 200 movin up cause i got stuck going slower than i wanted to. the first 400 felt controlled and easy. the 2nd half of the race i focused on slowly starting a kick and keeping good form. in the last 100 a lp girl out kicked me but i felt solid with my race. i defintely feel that i can race faster, which im excited about. afterwards sami kaylee guppy and i cooled down 3 miles by glen park which was sooooooo pretty. then guppy and i still had some mielage left so we did 1 and a half on the grass which felt amazing. shoutout to all the lp kids for hosting a meet and killing it. oh and also shout out to the old guy who scared us by opening a car door and screaming at us. that was defintely a highlight. and unshoutout to Collin for stealing some of my smoothie. you better watch out.

did abs during lunch and also ran 2 down main which is always a favorite. then did a mile on the turf with watson and guppy and then went a mile out with them but had to turn back at a mile. i was feeling pretty good today, just had work to hurry to.

did a mile warm up on the turf and then did the 2 mile workout. it was 5x1000s at 2 mile pace with 3 min 30 sec rest inbetween each. hit my paces the first two but my last 3 were all off by a little bit. it was defintely more an endurance workout, which ive found ive actually enjoyed more speed rather than endurance lately. what got me each time was the 2nd 400, so now I'm going to try on working those middle laps better. afterwards i cooled down 3/4 of a mile. oh and i did abs before cause it took so long to start the workout. shoutout to asa for going to morp with me! super sick night and we had some pretty sick dance moves.

today i woke up pretty early and i was quite tired but sami, watson, and i ran to the af rec center and it was a lil chilly at first but it felt so nice at the end. it was recovery which felt so nice on my calves, cause yesterday's workout pretty much wrecked them. once we got to the rec center we got some water, cause watson was really thirsty (lol) and then we did some high quality yoga that was so amazing and then we went back to my house and had a pretty delicious breakfast. so shoutout to both of them cause it was a fantastic day.

my legs felt pretty sore today, I'm guessing from yoga. did mile warm up then strides and 2x400s at 2 mile pace. did a recovery lap inbetween and after. then some starts. then did easy 2 miles in old lehi. wasn't feeling very good today, but did some quality abs after.

So today was quite the day. Sami and i sat around for like 3 hours cause we didn't race til about 6. Did a mile warm up then stretched and then of course right when we started racing it started to snow. I was on pace the first three laps then dropped the next mile and picked it back up like the last 600. Mentally, i felt great but i wasn't quite pushing myself the way i should've and judging by my last lap times, i should have given more effort in the middle laps. However at the end i gave a pretty solid kick and passed a girl which is always a lil more motivating. Im just trying to stay positive and im gonna take a break from the 2 mile for a couple weeks and work on the 800 and mile. Cooled down 3 with Sami and Watson and we roasted Watson hardcore so shoutout to her cause it's officially roast Watson day. 

today was quite fantastic. sami guppy watson and i decided to go to the salt lake temple which was so pretty and ive never been inside it before so that's a win. then we went to the boys track meet to watch them all race. we fit in 2 miles, before the 1600 m started and then cheered them on. got about a half mile running around between all the races. then cause there was like a 45 min break before the 800, we finished up mileage on a hilly but pretty neighborhood. oh and guppy and i found some flowers that we put in our braids so that's pretty sick. watched Collin wreck it in the 800 so shoutout to him! and Ryan and thom also killed it in the two mile. afterwards we sped home to get watson back, and then beat sami in some speed. we went to pizza pie with the guys which was quality and shoutout to riley for paying for me, he's a real pal. so yeah super fantastic day.

well today i decided to sleep in and ran during first. tried out my new saucony triumphs and they are money. loved the feel and i can't wait to break them in.

had speed todayyyy. watson and i warmed up like 2.25 then we got started with 6x400s at goal mile pace with 2:30 rest inbetween and 3x200s all out. it was a lil rough starting cause it was hard to pace with the wind. my times were 84 76 79 80 80 79 33 33 33. i was quite tired after the workout and recovery was pretty slow. overall though, i felt a lot stronger this workout, and i was able to hit the times better. did some abs outside even though it was pretty cold. then sami and i went inside and did some yoga stretchy stuff which felt super nice. it was a win. then we went to rileys for smoothies which were super delicious. who needs roxberry? (lol that's a joke i love that place). shoutout to the nice crosswalk guy who told us happy Easter and gave us gummy bunnies. 

woke up early to run before work. ended being a faster pace run than i thought, but i was feeling good so yeah. oh and happy birthday to asa!

ran a half mile warm up then did an almost 5 mile loop up by 12th east. came back and did pre meet. I'll be in Puerto Rico when uvu is so tomorrow's the race of the week for me. 2x400s at goal mile pace. hit 80 for both but i was feeling really tired. shoutout to watson and Mario for doing starts with me. and congrats to connor and josh on their mission calls #preach.

did 1.5 mile shakeout run. then mile warm up. started out on the mile and got really good placement just behind some af girls. first lap was easy. second lap the girls in front of me slowed down to like a 6 min pace so i decided to pick it up and led the group until the last 200 which i didn't really get my kick in and the af girls passed me. not super happy with my time, but i was pretty consistent and even threw a couple strides in there to help pace. did a half mile cool down. then i did a half mile warm up, but it was super early cause the events were taking forever so i pretty much just sat in a blanket until i did strides and then raced the 800. followed an af girl the first 300 m but i was getting tired and thought she was going a lil too fast so i slowed down a bit but then coming up on the last 300 m (so pretty much half a lap later lol) i decided to catch the girl and right as we crossed the finish line i was only .1ish seconds behind her. but i got like a 2:34 which isn't my best but oh well. im starting to feel better about racing, and im so ready to pr. 

today was kinda the worst. my legs felt really tight and i was alone. 

*update: unshoutout to Collin cause it's roast Collin week. 

today we went out towards willowcreek then back. my calves were hecka sore and idk why but it was a pretty good run, especially cause i won't be running with my peeps for like a week #cryingemoji. also shoutout to asa for getting his mission call! 

did mile and a half warm up then started on speed. it was 3 sets of 3x200 with 2 min rest inbetween. the first set is slower than 800 pace the second set is 800 pace and the last 3 were all out. hit 36 37 37 36 36 36 32 32 31. overall i was super happy and surprised that my legs still had a lot in them at the end. i was glad kaylee was there to push me. between active rest and the workout i got 2.5 miles. cooled down a mile. shoutout to all my peeps racing tomorrow. you guys will kill it. 

got into Puerto Rico around 5 pm. my legs were so tight from driving and the flights but running felt so perfect (even tho it was on a treadmill lol). 

distance run today. got to use my math skills cause the treadmill was using kilometers. took me about halfway through the run to realize that 1 mile was 1.6 kilometers. went to the beach in st. croix and got pretty sunburnt...

another distance run, today felt longer but that's ok. it's always the worst when you have the same song in your head over and over again. today i learned that im pretty scared of sting rays. in antigua we got to swim with them and they are pretty slimy and gross. and if  you're wondering the tot guide said don't step on the tail cause that'll hurt.

2x600-500-400-300 at goal mile pace. wasn't hard to pace cause i was on a treadmill but it was definitely a good workout. my legs were sore from weights yesterday and such so that was kinda a struggle. i got a mud bath for the first time ever and it is highly reccomended if you are hecka sunburnt. 

woke up early cause we had an early morning excursion and did the percentage run. first mile at 60 seconds slower than goal 2-mile pace so 6:45-6:50ish and then next two miles at 60 seconds slower than goal mile pace so 6:25 and then a half mile what you have left. hit all my paces first three miles then kinda slowed down for a 400 but picked it up even faster my last 400 and averaged out the pace. overall i was super happy cause last year i struggled with tempo runs but i hit paces today. got to go river tubing in Grenada which was super fun and then i took a quality nap. 

whistle hills today.... well kinda. didn't have a hill but just did sprints on the treadmill, who knew it could go that fast? but i pushed myself and was pretty wiped by the end of it. today was a day at sea so i tried a lot of fun stuff on the ship and struggled hard core rollerblading. but hey my sunburn finally doesn't hurt so shoutout for that.

really sick of running by myself and not being able to run off the ship. as much as i hate treadmills, i hate 250 m tracks more. the gym was closed today so i ran 6 miles on the track. unshoutout to the track. ready to be home and with the team.

took a 4 mile loop by the solw and it was so fun to have everyone to run with today including jamie (: finished up a mile in old lehi. shoutout to watson cause we had matching braids lol.

ran 3 on the treadmill before school. during the assembly i drove up to airport and did 6x1 min pickups. i felt super good about the workout, just sad i haven't done speed with any of the girls for like 2 weeks. another shoutout to watson cause even tho I sometimes roast her hardcore she's still the bestest

ran 3.5 with watson during lunch which was a quality time and i felt really good. then we did a mile on the mile loop and then 5x150 m buildups. tried to go to the temple but couldn't find my reccomend ): i also found a prom dress today so that's sick.

mile warm up then strides. did pre meet with recovery laps inbetween. there was some pretty strong winds but i actually felt like that motivated me more and i was feeling good. did some starts and then finished up mileage toward willowcreek. 

mile shakeout run during class with sami and the girls. then did abs which is pretty much unheard of on race days lol. headed to pg and got warmed up for the mile and it was crazy windy. i prepped myself for the wind which was good mentally. took a lil while but finally got to the starting line. it was a rough start. lots of elbows but i got good enough placement within the first 200. not in the front though, im no windbreaker. next lap i knew i needed to speed it up, but i waited for another girl to take the lead and i followed her. wasn't as close to her as i wanted to be for the wind on the straightaway, but that gave me pretty good motivation to catch her in the next couple hundred meters. i was feeling super not tired still so i got her and she blocked the wind for me on the third lap. last lap i took off and lead till the last 100 when 2 girls caught me and beat me by like half a second, but my lil legs started to really feel the wind and man they were tired. overall, i was pretty happy with how i mentally raced it, and i felt like the effort was there, the wind just didn't quite help lol. did 2 mile cool down but decided not to go to richards house when the timp boys invited watson and i. had one more mile and Collin and Jake were the real mvps and ran it with me so shoutout to them for that and killin their races. watson ran the medley and my legs felt tight from sitting for a while so i did the half mile warm up with her. afterwards i got some quality cafe rio, so solid day (:

warmed up a mile and i was feeling good cause the weather was wayy better. started out and first lap was a little fast as always. first mile split was a 5:52 which was perfect except i was planning on negative splitting. i spent the majority of the race with this girl in a blue jersey and every time i pulled up, she did too and then we both slowed down. i pulled out a good last lap, which saved my time a little, but not super happy with my race. i cooled down a mile after my race then went and cheered on the boys. then i did 1.5 with sami and we both talked about our races which helped me cool down in more ways than one. then we did a half mile on the turf which felt really soft. got to watch the 800s and every killed it and special shoutout to Mario for pulling a 2:24! i did a mile with Mario cause i still had some frustration to run out. 

still pretty mad today. probably went faster than i should've.

warmed up a mile then speed. 12x400s, first set at 1-2 seconds slower than current mile pace, second set was current mile pace, and the last set was faster. splits were 83 83 83 83 83 78 80 81 80 75 76 77. felt pretty good until the last set and that was kinda rough but i felt like i pushed myself until the end. i cooled down with watson and guppy and i was defintely feeling the workout. afterwards we did abs and had a plank competition in honor of the guys lol. then we went to roxberry which is always a plus. then watched and helped out with the meet.

fun run towards the reservoir, although it was pretty toasty today. i was feeling good though. also we stopped and got ice at a gas station which was a bonus. 

did mile warm up with kaylee and then jamie came out to run with me (cause some people were gone today :/ ) and we just followed the pack of boys until we looped out around the creek. so shoutout to coach for running with me today!

did half mile warm up then pre meet. hit 78 then 80 which was a little fast but good. some starts and strides then watson and I did an easy 3 miles. did some abs then biked while i waited for dallin but gave up on that after 30 min. pretty excited cause i don't have to wake up at 5:30 tomorrow #mathprobs.

warmed up a mile then got on the startline for the mile. got pretty good position and just stayed with the group. i don't remember much of the race, just that the last lap hurt a lot. ended up with a 5:38, which is getting better but still not quite where i want it to be. went an elevated for a little while and then warmed up a mile inside, but i guess it was a little too early cause i ended up sitting in a blanket outside for an hour, cause they were behind schedule. missed first call but finally got over to the bull pen. the gun went off and i had to maneuver a little to get to the front behind the leading girl. i just hung with her the first lap and then the second lap i pulled ahead, starting my kick and just tried to go as fast as my legs would allow. ended up with a pr so i was happy about that. 1.5 mile cool down.

nice easy recovery today which felt pretty much amazing. 

4 miles on the treadmill in the morning. after school we had speed. did a mile warm up then 3 sets of 300-200-100 at 800 pace. tried to push it cause i was feeling really good today. shoutout to everyone who did the 800 workout, y'all killed it.

had 10x1 min pick ups today which didn't turn out to be too bad. got to run with butters for most my run so shoutout to her! finished up mileage on the turf and did some abs.

legs felt pretty heavy the first half of the run, but coming back i felt a lot better. the weather was super nice today so you know that's a win.

warmed up on the turf today then pre meet. the 400s were on pace but felt a little rough. my legs are really tired. finished up some nice easy miles on main and by willowcreek. i iced bath which hopefully helps for tomorrow but we will see. had my prom day date tonight which was super fun. played some frisbee and kill and even car loaded, so pretty much a quality night.

got up and went on the bus to Orem. my legs still felt super sore, probably from high mileage all week. warmed up a mile with the girls and for some reason i was feeling super nervous. got to the start line and just followed watson. first lap was really fast, second lap was too comfortable, third lap we moved up really well, and fourth lap i lost watson and just tried to maintain some speed. ended with a 5:39 which is like the same as last week. cooled down a mile with watson, before she had to go, then did two miles with sami. i elevated for a little bit. got warmed up for the 800 with Mario and did a mile. got to the start line and then just hung towards the back of the pack for the first lap. then i tried to move up the second lap but i got boxed in and the group was slowing down smh. the last 100 m i passed a lot of girls cause i had too much energy left. i got a 2:29 which matches my pr, but i was still hoping to do better. cooled down half a mile with Mario. then got home and got ready for prom which was super sick so shoutout to Michael!

ran 3 during second period and did some abs. who needs physics anyways? then did 2 after school with kaylee.

mile warm up then speed. 2 sets of 200-800-400-200-200-200. really happy with my times cause we pushed the pace today. it was kinda weird though cause the 800s were easier today and the 200s were what killed me. defintely a hard but rewarding workout. cooled down a mile which pretty much, my legs didn't want to move. afterwards just kinda laid in the grass for a little bit which is highly reccomended. 

ran during lunch and it was so hot. i was feeling good on the first half. i stopped at willowcreek and just did the buildups on the track over there, but i felt really tired after that and extra hot so i did more recovery on the way back. 

did a turf mile then 4 easy out towards willowcreek. shoutout to watson and guppy for coming back with me so i didn't have to go 2 by myself. 

did one and a half on the turf, was gonna do it barefoot but then it started raining. the girls cans outside and we did the mile warm up. pretty much we were soaked by then. did pre meet, which wasn't too bad, and then finished up mileage. in front of the school there was a huge puddle and I'm proud to say i went through it twice. 

warmed up a mile then went straight to the bull pen cause they were calling us over pretty early. found out my spikes were too long so just took them out and still raced in the shoes. got to the start, and i was feeling pretty good. first lap wasn't too crazy which was a first and i liked that feel. second lap watson made more of a move towards the front so i followed and got spiked on the way. third lap don't remember as much, probably just slower. fourth lap i was tired but i really tried to push myself to follow watson this time, cause i didn't want the same thing that happened last week. she still outkicked me in the end, but i got a pr of 5:29 which makes me super happy cause my last goal of the season was to break 5:30 in the mile. cooled down half a mile with watson, then chilled for a little bit. then we warmed up a half mile for the 800. i thought I was feeling good, my legs didn't hurt too bad after the mile, but once i started, my legs felt like they were going way too fast. i don't remember too much of that race, just that my legs felt super tired. got like a 2:32 which was kinda disappointing, but oh well. i cooled down a mile and a half with Mario and then later a mile with Bill. i also jogged around a lot going place to place, so i went over mileage, but jamie said it was okay as long as im feeling good. huge shoutout to watson today for racing hard and pushing me and for taking great pics with me lol.

2 mile warm up then 1.5 miles of speed changes. cooled down 1.5. found out im racing the mile at region as well as 2 mile so that's exciting. 

mile warm up then pre meet. legs are actually feeling pretty fresh. cool down was only a mile cause we are tapering for region. did abs and then took a super cold ice bath with sami. also, whoever started the rumor that im not going to kiss anyone til im married, i have three letters for you, smh. 

warmed up a mile. pretty rough cause i felt super unmotivated. and that's pretty much how the race went. i didn't push myself as hard as i could've. still matched my or but mentally it was kinda rough. cooled down with watson 2 miles and then took some quality selfies. oh and i jumped a fence which was quality. took an ice bath after which was well cold. hopefully my legs will feel fresh for tomorrow though. 

well haven't been quite this nervous in awhile. don't know why really. warmed up a mile then got to the start. first mile was a 5:55 which was slower than i was going for but i just tried to keep it consistent. 7th lap was rough, hit a 98 smh. oh well i did an 82 my last lap which helped but the time wasn't where i wanted it to be. suprisingly i actually took 8th, but it helped that i passed like 4 girls on the last lap. crazy how fast the season went. cooled down 2 with watson on the MCT and then did a barefoot mile on the grass with some of the other girls. and as much as i want to give Collin an unshoutout, shoutout to him for qualifying for state and also connor too.

way too hot today.

did mile then helped pace guppy with some of her workout. her workout was 3x400 at goal mile pace then 100 m jog then 200 m all out. i just helped with the 400s. hit 76 73 74 . my legs feel pretty tired still from this week. finished up mileage on Main Street and then had a super quality breakfast so shoutout to mama hinckley. also got to drive toms truck and i didn't die (:

update: shoutout to zack for giving me an apple to roast 

ran the trafalga loop and then did pre meet. pretty solid day, ready to kill the 4x800 tomorrow.

did 2.5 shakeout with guppy. finally at like 8 pm sami, kaylee, and i warmed up a mile. was feeling pretty scared cause we were the only girls and we were in the boys heat. i started out the first lap and just hung onto the guys. tried to the second lap but just kinda died and tried to finish it. actually got a pr according to coaches timing so that was fantastic. shoutout to Brynlee for being our anchor and racing 4 events! she's my hero tbh.

ran with sami on the rail trail and made a loop. legs felt really tired from pretty much this whole season. afterwards we went to my house and made egg-n-toast. we're pretty much pro chefs so if you ever want a tasty breakfast we got ya.

1.25 then did 1/2 of marios pre meet and 1/2 of guppys pre meet. did a lap on the turf then watson and i finished with 1.5 by the legacy center. instead of doing abs i played ultimate frisbee which was pretty lit. also went to roxberry and tried a new smoothie. considering a summer bucket list that includes trying every smoothie on the menu lol.

ran a 3 mile loop by the Provo temple which was super pretty. did a mile with Mario for her warm up then a mile with butters. found out some of my legs for the Ragnar so that's sick. also played some frisbee which was a lil rough with the wind. but such a fun day watching state and seriously every i know killed it so good job to them!

decided to start my break today. watched the 2 mile today which was sick, and i so want to be racing it next year. pretty relaxing day, did some abs and yeah.

shoutout to sami! she took me on a loop by her house, we kept a nice easy pace (: i considered writing a poem but an unshoutout will do @zack.

ran in my hokas cause dalpal reccomended it (jk i had them first) but satisfying run with a pretty decent pace. i feel uninspired for a poem, so ill write one tomorrow.

nice easy run with sami (: included a lil bit of hills which was good. and shoutout to Dallin for helping me with my poem, here it goes:

im often confused with guys that run track

im constantly roasted by a guy named zack

i think they need to just cut me some slack

cause i don't want chex, give me any other snack

ran in ephraim with bryn today. lol i was a lil partied out from dancing hard core last night. also, i apologize for my salt level that has been pretty high lately.

first xc practice of the summer today. did half mile warm up then stretching and drills and then we did abs as a team. then headed out and did 4.5 on the rail trail with sami and amelia. today was quite rough and i felt pretty out of breath, so hopefully tomorrow is better. well wish me luck as i have to go take a test today.

half mile warm up then headed out with a pretty big pack. soon enough it was just bill and i lol but we kept a nice, pretty easy pace and i felt sooo much better today. afterwards learned how to do the hip exercises finally lol. also bumping up my ab minutage to 15 min so that's sick. 

warm up then finished up mileage up to my house and back. felt really good today. had some strength stuff and then abs and hip exercises. took an ice bath just cause it was so hot outside. finished off with a nap.

ran to practice today so i would have the same mileage as the girls. our warmup was running to the cemetary. did 6x1min pickups at 5k pace. pacing was a little fast but i felt pretty good. ran back and did abs and hips and then ice bathed in the creek. the current was strong so it lasted long. (rotd)

warm up then headed out on a run with crew. shoutout to connor for joining us today. by the end it was bill, connor, and i. fun run and i felt pretty good. abs, hips, and then upper body stuff. took an ice bath after. everyone should hit up the CBC tonight, I've heard it is gonna be sick.

woke up pretty early and ran to watsons house and met up with her to finish mileage. even though it was 6 am it was still pretty hot. felt good to be running more mileage though. also i had more mileage than Thomas today #goals. 

wu then did some hills with the team cause they were doing the new dreammaker, but took it easy cause ragnar will be my speed for the week. everyone killed it though. ran back then did a mile and a half just around. abs, hips, and ice bath.

wu then did 3.5 mile loop with all the girls which was chill. then did a turf mile with sami, bill, and kinley. getting pretty pumped for Ragnar. did hips and then guppy and i had our plank off. definitely was hoping for a pr but guppy sat on me after she dropped 😂 lol good times. 

wu an actual mile today lol. headed out to finish up mileage and had a nice, lil bit faster pace distance run. we ran on country road (name credit to watson) and it was a grand ol time. shoutout to watson and guppy for us all finally having the same mileage. did abs, hips, some push-ups and pull ups and an extra long ice bath.

mile wu then easy .5 to the start of the tempo run. just paced a group today since i have Ragnar but actually still ended up going 6:35 pace for the 1.5 miles. i felt really good today. did abs hips and ice bath. shoutout to everyone doing the ragnar tomorrow, it's gonna be a party!

1st leg: started about 6:15 pm and it was killer heat. good thing was i wasn't too dehydrated. first mile was 6:57 so a lil bit fast but i felt relaxed. there was a little bit of rolling hills, but mostly flat. not too much shade in the middle of the run and my 3rd mile ended up a 7:59 which i wasn't too happy about so i picked it up. luckily i started feeling really good and there was lots of shade and sprinklers on the second half #blessed. overall had an ap of 7:27 and i was pretty satisfied.13 kills.

2nd leg-started out at 1:24 am and i had so much energy from my one hour of sleep lol. some rolling hills to begin with and i was cruising. even ran with a pg guy for a lil bit, but then he fell back #thepgway. turned a corner and saw a big hill but i took it pretty easy. good thing cause i was dying then and once i finished that, there was an even bigger hill, i think ill call that leg the double dreammaker. lol i just think the hardest part was that  i thought the leg was 3.6 but it ended up being 4. still a sick run cause there was a full moon and such. ap ended up being 8:11. gained about 1000 feet of elevation and lost 300 ft. 33 kills.

.27 wu

wasatch ragnar leg 33: 4.07 miles, 23:38.6

3rd leg- literally the best way to finish up my part of the race. i was cruising with 2000 ft of elevation loss in 4 miles. ap was 5:49. lol except my legs feel wrecked but it was so worth it. 7 kills. Ragnar was super sick and i had so much fun with my team! 

biked over to Collins then did pretty nice easy bike ride with him and parker. did some abs and hips then went and had breakfast at the hinckleys. came back to Collins and biked home for a total of 55 min. ill take an ice bath tonight and hopefully my legs will start to feel recovered. 

biked 50 min easy through alpine which was super pretty. went over to the high school and did hips and abs with the team.

biked 20 miles today on the MTC. it was really scenic and i quite enjoyed myself. went and did abs and hips with the team. ice bath was good as per usual. 

hey i already am back running so that's a win. did mile warm up then stretches. then did a loop with good ol sami. it was recovery today cause everyone did speed yesterday. just did what i felt which ended up being 8:00 ap. did abs, upper body stuff, and hips and went to SOLW cause it turned on! felt good overall except the back side of my knees were feeling oddly sore. everything should be good for speed tomorrow. shoutout to zack for coming to practice even though asa didn't come lol and also shoutout to mario for going to the temple with me.

today was late start practice and it was extra hot. mile wu then did a half mile up to the start of the tempo run. started off with a good first mile, second mile was a little slower but not too bad, third mile was really hard for me to stay on pace, but i pushed and kept within the range. not my best workout but i just need to work on my finish. overall i was happy though, cause it was already a better tempo than any of mine last year. did a little over a mile cool down. abs, hips, and ice bath. 

lols it was recovery today... well kinda. mario, guppy and i got together and went on the MCT and eventually realized we were running on the 5k course for the af canyon races. haha guppy and i ran through the chute cause that was where half out was. even ran backwards on the course on the way back and got some confused looks on the way back. good times. ap 7:39. afterwards guppy and i went to the creek and did abs and hips and then ice bathed. 

wu then new dreammaker. we really need to come with a name, something like the thresholder, something legit. anyways this was my first time racing it and i felt really strong going up the hills but i just wanted a stronger kick. got a 10:23 which im pretty happy about for the first time. afterwards we ran over to the skyridge track and did a lap and it was super awesome #sod. but don't worry im not hating on lehi. went back to the creek and did abs, hips, and an ice bath. shoutout to watson and guppy for being back cause i missed them.

wu then easy recovery run. ran to willowcreek which we haven't done in awhile. at first my legs felt pretty tired but they felt fine towards the end of the run. 8:02 ap. did abs and hips with my girls. unshoutout to whoever turned the solw off, hopefully it turns back on tomorrow.

wu then stretches. found out my "easy run" pace range is a bit faster than i thought lol. we headed out to the cemetery and did 10 min of grass running then finished up mileage. ap 7:13. felt good to go faster, but we will see how it goes when im doing it on longer runs. came back and did abs hips and lower body stuff. ill be in cali for the rest of the week so im gonna miss everyone.

had to get up early cause our flight leaves at like 9 or 10. it was weird pacing myself on a distance run but it ended up being okay. still not an "easy" run but i think in a couple weeks it will get there. 7:27 ap. abs, hips, and some push ups. i remembered im racing the freedom 5k so coach said to just do a distance run instead of tempo tomorrow. 

another distance run today. ran until i hit a trail then hit a park around 2 miles out. Dallin did his tempo there while i just got some mileage done. the park was pretty big with a lot of trails. i wish we had some of those in utah. it feels easier to breathe here but my legs were pretty tired. ran back with dallin at a bit of an easier pace cause he was cooling down. the weather was literally perfect for running today. 7:31 ap. did abs and hips. 

also went to knotts berry today which is a 12/10.

headed to the park again. stretched then did 4 miles around followed by a grass mile. headed back. 7:36 ap. did abs and hips. saw some mushrooms on my run and it reminded me of mario. shoutout to brett, cause he ran with me today. 

excited to go to the beach, and possibly take a nap bc i am exhausted.

got up at like 5:45 then ran from my sisters to the start of the 5k. warmed up with sami and got to about 2 miles. the start was a lil rough with so many people, but the timer didn't start til your chip crossed the line, so at least that part was good. had a good first mile, i felt really strong. 2nd mile was also good. 3rd mile it was harder for me to push it, especially with a hill at the last part, but i kicked it in at the end and had a good finish. 20:25 was the final time with a 6:35 ap. i was happy cause that's pretty close to my pr and my goal was to go faster than my last tempo run which was a 6:45 ap. hung out with some of the guys after and also talked to tyler for a little bit which was sick. did half mile cool down waiting for awards then found out i got 3rd in my age division. finished up to high mileage. shoutout to sami, cause i love her and she killed it today.

first day of recovery in like a week. it felt sooo nice to go slower. mario watson guppy and i headed off towards alpine then came back with mario for 6. then we kinda looped around and did a grass mile at skyridge then headed back. 8:10 ap. hit up kneaders after then took an ice bath. finished with hips and abs.

went to highland glen park and met up with watson and guppy. headed on the MCT then did a warm up mile then started in on our easy pace run. i wasn't super optimistic about holding pace and such, but it ended up being a fantastic run. i felt super good and we had 7:31 ap. saw some af girls on our way back but we passed them #sod. also saw some goats. abs and hips.

went to the provo river trail with rachel, sami, guppy, and watson and ran recovery low mileage. at first my calves felt pretty heavy, but they eventually warmed up and i felt great. 8:16 ap. came back and did abs and hips and then guppy made us some gourmet french toast (:

went to the creek and did mile warm up. headed on the rail trail and went on a slight uphill to rach's house. grabbed some agua then came back. i felt really good today. 7:22 ap. did abs and hips. shoutout to rach for killing it on the run today and also to my bro dalpal cause its his birthday!

for how good ive been feeling lately, today did not feel so good. met up with watson and did an easy warm up mile then went on long distance run pace... not really sure what that is so i stuck between easy run pace and recovery. 8:02 ap w/ the wu. felt like i was kinda dragging myself most of the time. did abs and hips. getting excited for byu xc camp on monday.

first day of byu xc camp. started running in the toasty afternoon and wu 1.5. ran a 2.25 mile tempoish run. paced with watson and had a 6:38 ap. the heat really got to me, but it was alright. did a 2.1 mile cool down. finished 1.25 later on the byu track which was sick. so far a quality day of camp. more greatness to come this week. 

started off the day with a fartlek workout. never done one before but i enjoyed the type of workout cause it pushed me. did mile wu then 5-3-2-1 min with equal recovery so really not too bad. got 3 miles from it. i really tried to push it that last minute because I've been struggling on my finishes. felt good overall, shoutout to watson for killing it and pushing me. cooled down another mile after. later in the afternoon did 2 miles on the provo river trail, our group tried to take it out hard but i wanted more recovery so watson and i stuck towards the back.

in the morning we ran the y trail, which i thought meant the y hike lol i was prepping myself for the worst. ended up being a cool trail on the side of the mountain. just did 20 min and got 2.5 miles. went to breakfast and found out they didn't have any more strawberries smh. ive literally had about 30 everyday between breakfast lunch and dinner. drove up to stewart falls. ran on a trail less traveled and it was fun but my legs were pretty tired. on the way back got stuck behind some slower groups so that was a struggle, but ended up not even tripping so that's a win. poor watson fell twice instead. it ended up being 4.5 miles which was perfect for mileage. 

mile wu then had a race. was supposed to be 2 miles but got cut short due to some course confusion so it was 1.65. held 6:27 pace and had a strong finish which was my goal. cooled down to 5 miles. later did 2 miles at byu with guppy and watson while waiting for collin to pack up. got back and did 2 more then jumped in a pool and rolled out.

finally at practice with the team again. the team had pick ups but this week has literally wrecked me so watson guppy and i headed on a recovery run. i literally felt like i was doing the grandma shuffle for the first part of the run, my legs have never been this tired. on the way back they started to feel more normal and we were able to go a little faster. 8:27 ap. did abs and hips.

met up with the girls by the mct and headed out. my legs felt better today but still kept it pretty slow cause we have the kicker on monday, so defintely wanted to make sure i was recovered. sami guppy and i did an out and back and for the most part negative split the run which felt good. 8:16 ap. hit up kneaders after with brynlee and rachel. huge shoutout to bryn cause it's her bday and now she can d8!

also hit 50 miles this week which is a win. 

wu then ran the kicker. started out kinda fast but we hadn't hit the hills yet so it was fine. handled the first little up hills alright but had a little bit of a mental block about halfway through. made it up the bigger hill and collin just kept telling me i needed to catch watson. with probably like 50m left i reached her and then we both finished strong with a 10:07. huge shoutout to collin and camden for pacing and motivating me and also to watson as well. i felt good about having a strong finish, and a new pr. ran over to skyridge except felt like i couldn't breathe for a few minutes so that was ruff 🐶 did a little bit of grass running. also rolled down a hill, but got pretty dizzy so bad idea. said hi to jhoan and butters. headed back to finish up mileage. abs hips and ice bath. 

nice easy recovery today. went on a new road that id probably call the back country road. shoutout to jamie for coming with us! 7:59 ap. did abs hip and ice bath then went to the hinckleys who made us a delicious breakfast. 

decided to do medium mileage today and low tomorrow, because tomorrow im not gonna have a ton of time to run. ran to practice which was 2.5 then we did a 1.5 wu to the skyridge track. did a few strides then up to the line for the 6 min test. felt like it was fast but alright, came in around 5:45-5:50 for the 1600m mark then got 1655m. afterwards i wasn't too tired so i knew i had more in me, but this is defintely a workout i haven't done too often, so maybe as i get more used to it, it'll get easier to push myself. did a cool down on the grass while the guys went and cheered them on. ran back but about the last half mile my stomach started feeling really tight and it was hard to keep going. not really sure what it was but the pain subsided a few minutes after i finished. did abs hips and ice bath.

after a long flight we finally got into london and got to our hotel. hit up some tourist sites like the london eye and big ben and such. took forever to get back to our hotel though so ended up running at midnight. was just on the treadmill at about 8:20 ap. felt long but glad my legs loosened up after sitting so much today.

got on the trusty treadmill and did an easy 1.5 mile wu. started on my steady state run. it was 3.5 miles and i kept a 6:40 ap. it got harder the last mile but everytime i started thinking negatively, i sped up. went outside and did a 2 mile cool down with my sister and saw the nice charming suburbs of london.

ended up running pretty late again which isn't my fave and 9 is a lot on the treadmill. actually did abs and hips tho lol. 8:25 ap. 

decided to do a tempo today since i couldn't race. ended up doing 2.5 miles at 6:30 ap. it was harder than i thought it would be but i was pretty tired from the steady state run. cooled down and abs and hips.

nice easy recovery about 8:30 ap. abs and hips.

easy paced run today, felt good, about 7:33 ap. also walked 9 miles today and got some blisters smh. abs and hips. 

wu 2 miles then 8x600s with 60 sec rest. didn't have any hills (just a treadmill) so just decided on 6:00 min/mile pace, with the last one being a 5:55 pace. it was a hard workout, but i enjoyed it more than tempos. and my feet didn't hurt so thats a win. cooled down and abs and hips. not gonna be able to run saturday so i might be fitting in lots of mileage tomorrow.

am- 12 at about 8:20 ap-recovery

pm- 6 at 7:39 ap

today's been a bit rough. fell asleep at 7 last night cause i was so dead, but then woke up at 3 wide awake. tried to go back to sleep but didn't for a couple hours. woke up at 7 am then gave up and kinda just sat around for awhile. didn't realize i got a text last night that's said practice was at 7:30 today. finally at 11 i realized my mistake and headed out on my run before it was too hot but didn't really succeed, it was blazing. luckily it was just low mileage. 7:36 ap.

pretty much i roasted alive today. first half the run felt pretty good, second half i started really feeling the heat and regretted having lunch. 7:52 ap. all in all it was ok though cause im with the team again. took an ice bath which was refreshing. shoutout to connor and asa and josh who are all gonna kill it on their missions, im really gonna miss them, roasting and all.

first day of xc camp was quite a party. our run started at memory grove in slc and kinda went up the canyon. first half was all uphill, didn't feel the greatest but we paced ourselves well. the way back parker decided to join us for a bit so shoutout to him. was feeling really good the way back and picked it up the last few miles cause i love going downhill, last mile split was a 6:15. ap overall was a 7:55. unshoutout to watson who got lost lol, good thing was we found her. ended the day with some water fights.

ran at deer creek for camp day 2. rolling hills were pretty fun and the run flew by. last 3 miles were easy pace which was well fun lol. ap for the whole run was 8:05. did some abs and hips then went down to the lake. joined the triple dunk club... three times. unshoutout to well everyone that participated. went to the solw after for an ice bath. 

last day of camp. headed up to park city and ran on the real deal rail trail. ran 5 out and headed back. the last 4.5 of our run was a progression run. it was pretty rough considering it was all uphill the way back and there was a strong headwind. still negative split every mile and finished strong but that was one of the hardest workouts mentally ive had in a long time. shoutout to hannah and brynlee cause they both killed it today! did abs and hips and raced mario and watson by rolling down a hill then running to a bench, which im proud to say i won. really solid day, camp was a blast. 

got up pretty early, but it felt good not to be in the heat. recovery was much needed today. just did a loop by watsons house which was quality. got to see marios grandpas giant pumpkin so that was sick. did abs and hips.

couldn't go to practice today cause i have my physical, so got up and ran with watson. mile wu then did 4 miles at easy run pace on the mtc by glen park. ended up 7:34 ap which felt nice. had 5 hill accelerations, did one in the middle of our run and the other 4 after. abs and hips. 

afternoon practice today and felt absolutely fantastic. don't know if it was cause i was more cautious about what i ate, or the half gallon of water i drank this morning. mile wu then gups, mario, kaylee, hannah and i headed to country road. said hi to the horses and soon it was just guppy and i. 7:20 ap. did abs and hips and a solid ice bath.

did abs and hips before then ran to practice and then did 2 grass miles around the school. got assigned teams for our race tomorrow. austin and i are captains for the white team #gringos. did a team mile on the grass and then strides. did premeet 800 @goal 5k pace for tomorrow. was thinking around 6:30 pace but hit a 2:58 for it. whoops. didn't feel too bad though. did a lap around the track then ran home cause work. gonna elevate tonight and go to bed early.

mile wu then stretching and strides. felt oddly nervous for such a nbd race. got out with watson and stuck with her. on the first mile and hit a lil slower than goal but actually kinda was good because i was able to push myself well during mile 2 with some good surges. still felt alright going into the last mile until we hit some soggy grass for awhile. kept positive and just thought about my kick i needed to have on the track. watson pushed me at the end, i was hurting, but finished with a pr 19:52 so i was pretty happy. shoutout to watson cause she's the greatest to push me and pretty much a fabulous running buddy. cooled down to finish up mileage then did abs and hips and bought chocolate milk. also had a less wet than usual ice bath so that was a win. hit up lagoon but now my legs feel semi dead so we will see how tomorrow goes.

cross train day teamwide. not very happy to not run but whatevs. decided to swim. did 45 min of freestyle/aquajogging. didn't enjoy it too much at first but actually the time flew. did abs and hips after and ice bath. also went on a date with tyler, so shoutout to him for being a stellar date, and patiently waiting for me to finish my ice cream lol.

got up at 6 and watson and i met up by the mct. thought today was high mileage but found out later it was actually medium, oh well it was a nice run. the temperature was perfect and with a quality time with my pal watson. kept it pretty chill since we haven't ran since the race, 8:06 ap. saw some kittens, bunnies, and roosters on our run so quite eventful. also a huge thanks to lexi for taking me home after i locked my keys in my car, smh @myself.

mile wu then 10x60 sec pickups with 90 sec rest (active). goal pace was 6:20 and we had to do half of them on the grass. little bit of a struggle pacing cause my watch didn't want to adjust so quickly but hit under pace and by the last 3 i just tried to stick with guppy. felt  relatively good, and i think im figuring out good stuff with hydrating and nutrition that's been helping. cooled down half mile then did abs hips and ice bath. 

mile wu then low easy pace run. felt extra hot today but it was alright. did a loop by the jr high and came back by sego lily. 7:36 ap. did abs and hips and an ice bath. 

did grass mile wu then strides. premeet was on the grass and skyrim so i did it barefoot. hit 3:04 which was good, felt strong during it. went really easy pace out on a loop that ended up being 3 miles exactly so that was fortunate. did abs and hips and got our uniforms which are sick. finished with an ice bath that was nICE. 

got up to sugarhouse and had to wait around awhile cause my race was last. eventually wu a mile and did drills. got to the start and did a couple strides. once the gun went off i just tried to stick with watson through the herd of people. once we got up the first hill it finally spread out a bit. first mile was good, i felt strong and was really positive. can't say the same about the other twoish miles. i tried surging like my coach said but the motivation wasn't quite there, i think i tired myself out too much that first mile, or maybe im just still not used to longer races. last mile i didn't kick it in as soon as i should've, but when i saw the finish i definitely picked it up for a solid finish. i was surprised with my time, i thought the clock was rolling into 20 min, so it was a bit of a boost when i found out i broke 19. not quite a 5k course, but i was happy with placement and time. shoutout to the team for killing their races and also cheering us on. finished up mileage while waiting for awards. also rolled down the big hill a few times which was very pleasant. got back and ice bathed which was pretty sketch in the dark.

abs and hips before practice. mile wu on the road then jamie wanted us to do some barefoot grass running as part of our mileage so we did 2 miles with mario, then guppy watson and i headed out towards fox hollow elementary and on the way back hit up the splash pad cause it was really hot today. i felt slightly dead and very sore for most of it, thank goodness for recovery, 8:38 ap.

met up at watsons house and started on our run just going on some roads towards highland. my legs still were feeling so sore, so didn't really try to push a faster pace. stopped and stretched after 2 miles and my calves felt so sore. we kinda made a loop back and went on a part of the highland trails and such. it felt really good outside cause the sun hadn't come up yet. my legs finally warmed up at about 5 miles in so it felt better after that. 8:16 ap. came home did abs and hips and then took a nap. 

wu was running down the kicker. did drills then started off. felt like we took it a little easier than normal at first but i was fine with that and once we got to the big hill i wasn't too tired, but i didn't push myself to go with watson when she surged. with half a mile left i picked it up decently, but not enough to finish where i wanted. 10:16 so wasn't too bad. honestly my legs just killed after tho. 6 mile cool down didn't feel too long but my legs didn't wanna go that far. shoutout to smiths for the free water bottles. abs and hips and ice bath.

got there early, did 2 miles on the road then got back and did a barefoot mile cause there was some good grass. sat around then did mile wu with the girls. got to the line, did a stride. jamie told us 6:45 first mile, 6:35 ap next half mile then faster for the rest. hit 6:38 first mile, 6:30 second mile and finished. kinda bummed i didn't catch this westlake girl at the end and didn't push to stick with watson when she surged, but stayed ahead of pace and im really ready to wreck it at grass relays. did 3 mile cool down on this road we named farm road. pretty quality day but im just really ready for a race where everything clicks. wish me luck. 

couldn't really agree where to go, finally ended up deciding towards smiths. did about 2 mile wu then stretched. kept going and just ran to freedom park and did a grass mile there then headed back which felt better than the way there. finished with a grass mile at skyridge. 8:22 ap. my calves have been super tight which is a weird recurrence since simplot, nothing crazy but that's the only thing that ever seems to get really sore. gonna have dal roll me out. did some abs and hips and ice bath for the sake of my calves. found out im the 5th runner for relays so super psyched for that.

low easy distance run today. wu mile and my calves felt really tight so i was worried, but ended up being a solid run. stayed flat, wasn't in the mood for hills today. 7:23 ap. abs&hips.

huge shoutout to gups for giving me a ride home and rolling me out after work, mucho appreciated.

mile wu then premeet. we had to do it by ourselves cause that's how the race will be. hit 2:57 which was way too fast. did some strides/handoff starts on the grass. went out on the three mile loop but had to stop and stretch after a mile cause my calves were killing me. finished up then went to the weight room for abs&hips. watson was a pal and did a light roll out then we went and ice bathed. shoutout to the tree. gonna elevate and try some heat on my calves so they'll feel good for tomorrow.

got there early to cheer everyone on and i was feeling so pumped pumping them on. when guppy got to the line i started my wu and did a mile. stretched then had to wait by the handoff area for about 30 min which was fine cause i got to cheer on my team. kaylee got good position with us in 5th and i surged ahead at the beginning to catch springville so id have someone to race with/pass. pretty soon a skyline girl whipped past us and i knew it was gonna be a fight for fifth place. i just let her pace for most of it. she surged a good amount of times but i stayed focused and didn't fall off. heading around the baseball field the second time watson gave me some good motivation and i surged ahead starting my kick. wasn't sure if i could hold because i haven't had great kicks lately but i didn't look back, i knew what was on the line. the gauntlet was hard and i was tired but i gave it my best and it was enough. i kept the lead and we got a trophy for being top five teams. had 6:13 ap. so proud of my team cause they did so good and they're amazing. cool down was running around cheering for the guys. ice bathed after and gonna roll out later. 

ran 2 before practice and did abs and hips. wu was running down the hill on center. we had 2x3 90 seconds up the hill with .5 mile jog inbetween sets. legs felt tired from saturday. it was a hard workout but for the most part i pushed myself. felt super dehydrated and thirsty the whole time and thank goodness there was some sprinklers to run through. ran back as the cool down and my legs felt so dead. solid day tho, glad to be getting some good speed in. 

for some reason felt like running hills today. that or there's nowhere else to really run lol. went down kill hill and by the creek then headed up center (kinda sick of that hill tbh) and back to the high school. did 2 miles barefoot, coaches order, then finished a mile on the road. kept it recovery at 8:45 ap. have pre-region tomorrow and still not sure how i feel about it. hydrated better today so hopefully that helps with the heat.

felt weird not running til later. did abs and hips before. got up to pre region and as we were walking out the bus the boys asked us to hoco and it was seriously so cute. shoutout to riley cause he's my date. got warmed up then headed to the line. the plan was just to tempo it since byu is our focus meet of the week. i suprisingly felt really good, and watson guppy and i just held a solid pack til last .75 when gups picked it up and then watson outkicked me in the end. overall felt very good tho and held 6:30 ap (the course was a little long) which was on the faster end of our range. cooled down 3 miles on some sketchy roads but no worries i didn't get kidnapped by the ice cream van. 

decided to take a semi cross train day. ran 3 recovery miles then got back did abs and such then 2 sets of the bike workout with a wu and cd. felt pretty good, calves are getting tight again but not as bad as last week. getting pumped for byu! 

did mile wu then premeet and hit a 3:07 which was good cause i was shooting for 3:10. finished up 5 miles with the girls and got some refreshing water at smiths. did abs and hips then got an ice bath in. so ready for byu and excited to see all our 5a friends cause we aren't in the same region anymore.

can't really say much about this race without being negative but mentally i just wasn't there. gonna put it behind me and move on. girls took second which was amazing so shoutout to them for all racing fantastically. excited to visit utah state on monday.

gups and i drove up to Logan and got there ready for practice. got to know some of the team and did a 5 mile out and back then did some 400m hill accelerations sorta deal, not too crazy so that was good. about 8:15 ap for all of it. got back and did some abs and arm stuff. rolled out and took an ice bath and yeah. shoutout to tyler for coming to the canyon saturday, he's really good at that sorta thing. 

got up early and met at the usu track. the team left to do their workout and i stayed for mine. it was quite chilly.  1/2 mile wu then workout was 6x1000m 200m jog 200m sprint with 3:30 rest inbetween. just got the 1000 splits but they were 3:56 3:51 3:56 3:54 3:54 3:51 so right between 6:10-6:15ap. it was a hard workout and i was by myself but i felt proud of how i pushed myself. cooled down .75 with gups and michelle then rolled out. later took an ice bath when i got back.

am- had this video running thing so got half mile with that then mario watson and i did a loop to hit 2.3, felt good to not be in the heat.

pm- recovery on the mct with mario and watson, did a couple loops on the grass around the track. did abs and hips. 

3 mile wu then did some barefoot grass running before pre meet. hit 3:08 which was a win. legs felt pretty tired until we just finished up 4 over towards thanksgiving point. just had time for an ice bath today cause we helped out with the carnival which was a party. 

mile wu pretty much once we got there cause we actually didn't race last today! struggled finding the starting line and got our bibs a minute before the gun went off... and none of the girls were lined up when the official started the race so that was interesting. still got a good start and there was some nice downhill in the beginning. felt mentally strong the whole time this race and actually the hills at the end didn't end up being that bad. this time i made sure to stay with watson. i was confused about how far we had left at the end so i should've kicked it in harder but definitely not disappointed with the race, and glad i was able to bounce back after last week. still more good things to come this season. afterwards watson Michael parker tom and i did 5 miles for a cool down. legs felt pretty tired from the workout and higher mileage and such but it's all gucci. shoutout to lexi watson cause she did great and also we took some quality selfies. 

went up with guppy and we watched riley finish his marathon which was super sick. got a mile in before he came through. then we decided to just run around there so we followed a road for awhile until it hit a park and did a barefoot mile there. ran back. 8:11 ap. it was good stuff and i felt good today. even did abs and hips and got an icebath in. shoutout to guppy cause she's a prime shopping buddy. 

wu to the gulley. we had whistle hills for day 1 of awesome week. felt really good the first two sets and the last one was hard but i kept in it and finished well. cooled down back towards skyridge but had to stop at my house and switch shoes cause my calves were really bugging me. felt a lil better after that but mostly i was just glad when we got back and finished running. did abs and hips and gups rolled me out. took an ice bath which should help. shoutout to zack.

today was the kicker. warmed up running down it. felt good first mile and then after the hill my calves started to hurt bad and then mentally i wasn't in it so came in at 10:30. finished a cool down and kept it very easy. not really happy with today. did abs and hips and kaylee rolled me out hard (i may or may not have cried a lil) but im so sick of my calves hurting. ice bath after which was mucho cold.

felt really good outside today and my calves felt a lot better. easy recovery towards thanksgiving point. got back and did the usual and dal was a pal and rolled me out. took an ice bath. shoutout to zack.

first of all got new shoes so holla for that. did wu then mile repeats today! (wasn't quite as excited as i made that sound) but it ended up being solid. hit 6:13 6:13 6:07 6:09. last one i got tripped on the last curve, but it was all good, finished hard. felt mentally strong the whole time, especially the 3rd one. cooled down a half mile then did stuff and salt boy rolled me out. took an ice bath. seriously tho im already in love with my new shoes.

had a nice recovery low mileage run. ran towards smiths (as always) and then back. did abs and hips and watson rolled me out. took an ice bath. also had a really good night. 

last day of awesome week. did legendary ladders up airport. 3x100-200-300-400-500. felt good about it, should've pushed more the last one. did abs and hips. solid breakfast and such. xc hoco was good. shoutout to everyone who raced today.

recovery today. definitely don't think im gonna be wearing my triumphs too much more cause my feet hurt the first part of the run so we did some barefoot mileage in the middle of it. had quality talk with watson, and it was just a good run. abs&hips.

made a new loop today with the rail trail. kinda long run tho cause it was super hot and my legs felt even more dead than yesterday. but hey watson and i are planning some big stuff so that was good. did abs&hips (reluctantly) and tried to take an ice bath but the solw was turned off so ya know instead i slipped and fell in the creek. same thing. 

did 3 miles recovery before speed changes. just had a mile of speed changes which felt really nice and we did it barefoot. afterwards cooled down a mile barefoot as well. felt really good today. did abs and hips. it was quite a nice day. 

just 5 easy recovery which felt relaxed and chill. did abs&hips. also closer is a quality song.

got to eagle state park and did a wu mile then ran the course. followed up with premeet and starts. had a quality dinner and also got a little wet 🙄 ready to race tomorrow.

mike wu then got to the starting line. did a ton of strides cause they kept just delaying our race. finally the gun went off and it was a rough start. so many people and there was a pole sticking up that i barely dodged but mario hit. first mile was good, i knew it was gonna be fast but i felt strong. second mile i was still mentally in it but third mile was hard and i kept losing focus. last 200 tho i picked it up really good and ended up passing 3 girls. overall not super proud of my race but still a pr and as a team our spread is getting better. did a 2 mile cd and then took a nap. partied hard the rest of the day. 

wow from the start i knew today was gonna be a good run and it really felt amazing. went by crazy fast and just enjoyed it with the good ol high mileage crew. did abs&hips and just a solid day. ready for speeeed tomorrow.

2 mile wu then 6 min test. goal was 1700 m. had some good surges and hit 1600 m at 5:33 (almost my pr lol) and just finished with what i had left. got 1750ish m and it felt really good. cooled down 2 miles with brynlee (who killed it today) and mario. then did 2  by myself.

mile wu then 200-400-800-1600-800-400-200. 2&4s at mile pace and the rest at 5k pace. hit 40, 83, 3:00, 6:06, 3:00, 78, 30. basically all were well faster than pace and i worked on making good moves and finishing strong. afterwards my breathing felt way off and finishing mileage felt almost as bad as finishing the workout. hard day mentally. did abs&hips after and took the coldest ice bath of my life. 

2.5 mile wu then premeet. hit 3:01, a lil fast and my legs hurt so bad to go fast. starts and finished to a mile then 5.5 cd with watson on the trail. did abs and hips but wasn't feeling mentally prepped for an ice bath so didn't and instead tortured myself with hw. 

mile wu then race. plan was 6:30 first mile then basically maintain and pack run. legs felt super tired from this week but did exactly what i needed to in this race and felt good about it. a lil sad mario outkicked me in the end cause top 10 got medals but oh well. finished up to high mileage. shoutout to the girls cause we took second which was a win. 

got up early for a very pretty scenic run. seriously the sky looked so cool. watson guppy and i did 6 then met up with mario and sami for 3 more. then the french toast comp began. proud to say i finished 6 and watson held strong with 5. we may not have won but definitely gave the effort lol. 

mile wu then workout was 10x400s. first 5 at 5k pace, next 3 two mile pace, then last ones at mile pace. felt really good the whole wo until the last 400 i hit a wall it hurt so bad. got on our cd and for some reason right below my calves felt like they were on fire and we had to stop a few times so i could stretch it. finally the last mile they felt fine. did abs and hips.

2 miles, ran by my new house then a mile of speed changes. did 4 more on the mct. felt pretty good and the weather was perfect. came back and did abs&hips and gups rolled me out. 

easy low recovery with some nice puddle splashing. did abs&hips and salt boy rolled me out.

2 mile wu then pre meet. hit 2:58 but felt good. after did abs and hips and an ice bath. ready for region!

mile wu then got to the line. wasn't too nervous but really prepared. first mile was fast but i felt good. second mile made some good surges. last mile just kinda hurt and i didn't have the kick i wanted but still a solid race and both our teams took 3rd which sets us up good for state. so excited and proud of the girls. did mile cd.

ran in old lehi today which was such a nice change, i miss that place. felt mostly ok, calves still tightened a bit but it was just more of a discomfort than anything. did some abs and yeah. 

easy pace run today which we haven't done in awhile. mile wu then the double dip loop. felt better than i thought it was and the run went by way fast. 7:35 ap. after did abs and hips and gups rolled me out which was more painful than i wanted it to be. 

rail trail loop today recovery. actually didn't feel too bad and not minding the hills too much. did abs&hips and watson and i rolled each other out. felt good and should be ready for speed tomorrow (: 

ran a 2ish mile wu to airport then we did whistle hills. two sets of 15-20-25 then the last set was 30-35-40. this is honestly one of my favorite workouts. felt like i pushed myself good, especially considering i felt dead after. cooled down back to the school and then some, the hill on the way back hurt a lot lol. did abs, hips, and even some push-ups. also ice bathed with watson and mario. shoutout to mike. 

just some good ole recovery with a barefoot mile at the end. did abs and hips and push-ups. shoutout to watson for being a fabulous banana. 

lol quite the recovery run trying to scare/run away from the guys. they tried scaring us at the end of our run which was unexpected. did abs, hips, and push-ups and thom rolled me out. later did some hot yoga with lexi which felt 10x hotter than any of our runs in the summer. im definitely appreciating the cooler weather. 

met up with varsity for practice. mile wu then 1.5 miles of speed changes. went by super fast cause each one i just focused on visualizing and what i want to focus on at state. nice easy cool down then some abs and hips and push ups. 

tapering for state so less mileage. recovery run felt really short. also was laughing pretty hard at the beginning which makes it actually pretty hard to run lol. did abs, hips, push-ups and ice bathed. unshoutout to the guys, enough said.

pre meet and such. was right on pace with a 3:05. 

1.5 mile wu then race. i raced the hills smart and kept my first and second mile right where i wanted them. i felt so good and focused.  then something bad happened. the last mile was flat and long and mentally i just lost it and didn't go with the girls when i should've and literally that was the game changer. i need to be stronger and race better. i can't keep letting this happen. but im gonna let this make me stronger cause i can't control what happened anymore but i will not be defeated. 

watson and i did a short run. apparently my legs are a lot more dead than they should be due to my less than stellar performance yesterday. 

easy with guppy and brynlee. little chilly but good run. did abs&hips.

met at skyridge with dallin, brynlee, and cuppy, did mile on the road then 1.5 of grass running, towards the end of my run the bottom half of my calf starting really flaring up and it hurt to run so ill probably cross train monday to be safe. did some abs and hips.

biked 45 min. was boring at first but got better as time went on. did abs&hips. later hiked silver lake, idk if that was a smart idea tho cause my calves hurt on the way up, and we ran on the way down. cool views tho #neature. 

low recovery, felt good for the most part. solid run. did a mile on the grass. abs and hips and kaylee rolled me out.

easy low today. felt pretty good til the last half mile. finished up tho then had arm workout, push-ups, abs, and hips. then mario was a pal and rolled me out.

started off with the 5 min plank challenge. passed it. then headed on low recovery. a little frustrated cause i feel like i should be recovered, but each day just kinda hurts. had to take it a little slower today but had a good time with bryn. did abs and hips. 

had team pictures then we had like 25 min to do miles so we thought 3 lol but had to pull a 7:15 last mile to make it back, which wasn't quite recovery but felt good. we then listened to a guy talk about injury prevention and stuff. finished off 2 miles with watson then abs and hips. also did some basic stuff so yeah.

well basically none of the girls could run today so i went with the guys, so s/o to them. did a loop in alpine which they claimed would be 5 but ended up being over. super pretty tho, although some trespassing... felt really good and had a faster pace then most my runs lately, finally feeling recovered. 

legs felt not super great today but still a good run. college has got me pretty stressed but other than that life's good. 

fun run with bryn (and mario for a lil bit). did 6 pretty easy and literally i felt so much less stress today so that's a win. finished up a mile by myself, kinda fast tho cause i never really think about my pace when im alone. did abs and hips and got some sick spandex for nxr. 

k really good workout today. 5x1000 and then 3x400. can't remember exact splits for 1000s but they averaged to 6:00 pace which was really exciting. lol the 400s hurt so bad. hit 82 80 78, so the times i need but wish i could've finished a little faster. overall tho i loved the intensity of the workout, im getting pumped for nxr here in a few weeks. proceeded to slightly die after the wo but then went on a cooldown with watson to finish mileage. did abs and hips and also beat mario in arm wrestling (:

calves felt quite sore but good recovery with brynlee on the double dip loop. did abs and hips and push ups and finally got my headstand!!! 

for some reason today felt like a drag. did 4x60 second pickups. shoutout to sami cause she came and ran with us. i miss that girl.

mile wu. treated today like a workout cause i wanted a positive experience to get me in the right mindset for nike. goal was a good third mile and strong kick. started out a little slower than normal, but held strong the first two miles and passed all the people that started out too fast. third mile i wasn't quite as motivated at first but i pushed past that and picked it up and didn't let myself fall behind. in the last 200m i passed 8 girls. really glad with how i did. did 3 mile cd with watson and brynlee, then headed a mile out with the guys and back with satchell. calves feel quite tight from the workout on wed and the race today. also took a nap for the first time in awhile and i forgot how much i love them. 

recovery today. ran the loop in alpine that the guys showed me. felt super good today. on the way back we saw a car kill a snake which was gruesome and really gross. did abs and hips.

mile wu. workout was a 2-4-8-16-8-4-2 with the 200 at 800 pace, 400@mile, 800@2mile, and 1600@goal5k. hit 37 78 2:52 6:07 2:54 77 33. mentally it was a pretty hard workout but i hit faster than all my paces so that was nice. felt dead for the cd. did 3 with the girls then 2 by myself. finished with abs&hips. committing to run for USU so that's exciting. 

did 2 miles before practice and then the double dip loop. legs ached for most of the run. took me awhile to get motivated for abs, but did that and hips and push ups. 

behind my right knee was bugging a lot so i had to stop and stretch awhile and just cut mileage short. biked 20 min to finish up and rolled out and took an ice bath so i should be fine for speed tomorrow.

wasn't sure if i'd be doing the wo on the bike but my knee wasn't bugging too bad so i ran it. 100-200-300x3 up the gulley hill with .25 jog inbetween sets. actually was a strong workout for me, but the downhill kinda hurt. just jogged back and finished mileage on the bike. did abs hips push-ups and guppy was a pal and rolled me out. 

figured out it was my it band that's been flaring up a little. still ran today tho and felt good for the most part besides a little tension. did the jordan river trail with watson and guppy which i ended up really liking. abs as well. 

idk what's going on with my it band. didn't hurt too much on the run but i went to play frisbee and had to sit out cause it hurt then. hoping it just goes away.
