just for the run of it

with watson

hills today. did 2x5min pushes (7:15ap) up suncrest. not my favorite but not too hard

taking an easy day is the best way

yay cause i ran with sami on old country road

mile wu then a nice lil tempo for 15min @6:55ap

nice lil recovery run with a sighting of gill

some speed. 5-4-3-2-1min intervals at tempo interval pace. paces ranged from 6:30-7:00ap so good stuff. it was a bit more expending than i thought it would be but nothing crazy

in other news, school is taking over my life 

with sami 

with sami

was supposed to do steady state but my first two miles were too fast so switched to a shorter tempo. nothing too crazy tho really. 20min @6:55ap then cd

with watson on pumpkin patch loop 

with watson by watson manor

am-4.5miles with 3-2-1min (@6:50ap) up suncrest 

pm-3miles with sami

with sami. and hills

showed sami a new trail

4mile steady state @7:18ap. not really too hard. it was nice to have sami join me for some of it(:

good run in the snow with sami for a bit and watson

this is my last week with sami ): 

well today is actually wednesday and tomorrow’s report is tuesday so they are swapped but i don’t really care to switch it. with sami 

ran with sami then 10x1min pickups 1min rest at 6:40ap

35min steady state run which was harder than it should’ve been. then 3miles with sami

suncrest then kneaders with sami. i had to say goodbye 😥

early morning shenanigans 

4x5min temp interval w/ 5min rest. tiring 

good run by myself and negative splits mostly by accident. felt better than i though i would after yesterday 

jordan river trail with miss maine and miss idaho. miss idaho won

most the time i don’t like running by myself but today it was beyond fantastic. also realizing my freedoms are getting some good mileage so hoping they last me til i leave 

kicker kicked me

long run with lexi 

did 16x1min pickups and for the most part it felt nice to do a bit of speed

it was cold and i was scared so i was running fast anyways so i did somewhere between my steady state and tempo pace for 6miles. felt good to pick it up but now i wanna go slow for a few days. we will see how that goes, running by myself never yields consistent results 

ran with watson and brynlee and that was good until watson made me do abs

just took it nice and chill. 54days til i leave!! 

am-up suncrest farther than i’ve ran before.

pm-legs hurt from suncrest. with watson in the scary dark but we came up with some good plans if someone attacked us 

dal and bryn braved the wind with me, although cold, it was still a good time. saw papa eastmond the last mile and ran and talked with him while we caught up to mama eastmond! then came home and did a mile on the treadmill cause i didn’t want to go outside again

workout today. 4x8min @tempo interval with 5min rest. calves were slightly bugging but overall good effort today although a little off pace

wow it’s fun to have an easy day. did a good ole loop from lehi high and i really enjoyed today. 

another chill day, did a really random loop but it was fun

man today was a good one. got to do a snowy hilly workout. went to suncrest and did 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1min @ “race pace”. ended up going quite a bit faster and i felt really good and i was really positive which was also good. although the wind decided to pick up a lot at the end but i wasn’t gonna let that ruin my pace. and i got a lot of miles so really today was a win. 

definitely a bit tired from yesterday

good run with my utah state teammates. did it mostly with hanny and then ran a mile on the track, didn’t realize i was going that fast but ran a 6:10 and it was fun cause it felt really relaxed

with watson on the treadmills and as much as i don’t love those things, it sure was a blessing today 

went for the treadmill again, mainly cause i didn’t want to do my workout outside. 10min warm up then 35min tempo then cd to 7. pretty hard but rewarding 

some nice recovery 

did a workout on the good ol’ 8mile loop. 4x5min on, 2min off, 2min on, 3min off @race pace. not too bad at all

steady state run. cut a lil short to go skiing. i am still not quite completely convinced that i didn’t break my body

knee hurts a bit cause i bruised it down the black diamond yesterday #beginnerprobs but other than that and extreme soreness, had a good time with watson 

am-mostly with kaylee and then a few on my own. knee didn’t hurt too bad but the bruises are looking worse

pm-4miles and not too shabby. front loading this week so that’s fun

lol my legs are toast. did 6 with dal then 5 with watson

am-6 with some hills which was good cause new views but bad cause my legs protested 

pm-3 on the trail

6 on the mill in the big apple

did 16x75sec on, 45 sec off @tempo interval pace, woo for treadmills

shoutout to winter storm riley for making a 4hour car trip into 10hours. but dc is cool so can’t complain. 6miles on the treadmill cause the wind outside is crazy

yay for good workouts! honestly was not excited for this one but it turned out good! did 1.5mile wu then 40min tempo then .75mile cd, some of it on the turf. i stayed positive actually and was well under pace range! and this is like my last high mileage week+harder workout week until the race woooo

my head: let’s take it nice and slow, we did a workout yesterday 

my legs: nope we gonna go fast 

nice easy relaxing run. i’m really gonna miss this when i leave but i’m gonna be doing bigger and better things. 4weeks to go!!! 

ran to suncrest then 5x1min-4x2min-3x3min up the hill. felt like trash but got her done and still a solid workout. legs hurt after though but saw THE abby skousen on the trail and that made everything better

wow today’s run was quite fantastic, i made myself go slow and it felt really nice, plus i practiced my talk the last two miles and the time literally flew by. plus there were so many happy people on the trail today so i said hi lots

long run saturday! did the murdock and saw the byu men’s team, twice haha. the second time while they were passing me a little girl said “look there’s only one girl” haha i thought it was funny. overall very nice run cause it was fast yet not too tiring 

did double dip loop and shoutout to my dad for biking by me so i wasn’t alone

explored some of the highland trails. those things are weird

some good miles with watson and libby

woke up really late so couldn’t use the car so had to run around here smh did a “workout”  not really, but kinda just some pacing stuff. 5x{3min on, 1min off, 1min on, 3min off} @race pace and it wasn’t too bad, just a bit boring 

a solid out and back

provo river trail

yay for low miles! 

sore from yesterday’s 7mile walk with my mom and her friend. it was intense 

just chill

with the older bro!!

with the bro again

riverton half marathon today. kinda just decided to go as fast as i feel like going which was good cause by the end a few of the hills got me pretty good. and the wind. but nonetheless it wasn’t too bad. last mile i felt really tired but i mean nothing crazy. had a 7:20ap but the course was more like 13.5 so that kinda messed up my time. i think next time i will do a downhill one instead of hilly to get a good time but i liked my effort today and i had fun. took 1st in age division and 4th overall girl. welp that was a long report but also my last lil sha-bam before i leaveeee

just some relaxed miles with my bro. my legs were a bit tired but honestly not too bad

felt pretty dead but still a good one

on the way back with my bro got a really sharp pain in my right side so just went home and biked

ran with mario 🍄 <3

some good miles with the girls

some miles with bryn and dal after their races

good times with mario and watson. shoutout to my shoes for hitting 800miles

some good stuff with watson and mario! get set apart tonight as a missionary! so excited to serve my lord and savior and the people of chile ❤️
