Running Accomplishments:

I first started running at a very young age. All my family have been runners so it was expected of me to do the same. As i grew up i did lots of 5K's but nothing longer then that. Once i was in 9th grade and started high school i finally realized that i loved running and i needed to train and push myself. My PR for a 5K/ Cross country race is a 16:24. In Track i run the 3600, my PR is a 10:11. I have also run a couple half marathons. Pr is 1:20:01 on the Top of Utah Half.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run under a 15:30 at the Utah State Championships for Cross Country. Also like to be top ten at state. I would also like to run under a 1:15 for the TOU half marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to run at least a couple full marathons but nothing to much bigger. Running Boston is one of those marathons I would really like to do. I havent decided what else i will like to try for in my long term running goals.

Personal:

I run for Mountain Crest High School.

Had tryouts today, a 10K race. Did the first three miles in a 5:30-5:40 pace. After that my right knee started hurting and i had to slow it down a lot. Final time was 36:16. Going to ice my knee today and see if it hurts again tomorrow. Other then that the run felt great.

Hill repets today! Wasnt a very steep hill but we had to do mile pace up it for 60 seconds. We did 12 total. First 8 felt good then the last 4 were killer. Average pace was a 4:40-4:45 going up hill then a 7:30 slow jog back down with no rest. Good workout.

Easy long run today(if having hills that are pretty much mountains in your run is easy). Ran a 6 mile lope around Providence and then another 4 mile lope. Going an average of about 7:30. Felt pretty good other then a slight discomfort in my knee. I think that will go away.

Went up by beaver mountain and did a varsity run/bike trail relay. Ran a total of 11 and biked 4. Felt amazing to get away from hyrum and run in a little different area. My side didnt hurt for the first time that week. Hoping it will be all better by the time we have our first race next week.

Highland invite down at sugar house park. I ran a 16:30. A little dissapointing but its only the first race of the season so im excited. I was going for a 15:45 but just couldnt make it happen. Team took 12th out of 50 teams and only 10 points behind 11th. We beat everyone from our region. Felt good and excited for the rest of the season.

TOU half marathon today! It was a blast! Running down the canyon i didnt feel to good. my quad was hurting from highland just the other day. After 5 or 6 miles it went away and i could pick up the pace. Final time was 1:15:17. A 5 minute improvement from last year! Going to take it easy for a couple days to get my muscles feeling better. Overall an amazing run.
