70min Saturday so I did 40min on the elliptical, and watched part of Remember the Titans while I was on it which was fairly motivating, then hit the road for the run. I actually felt really good today as well despite doing the elliptical before, and it was pretty warm outside as well which was nice.

Finally did a speed workout!!! 3 sets of 3×300 at goal mile pace for the indoor season with 45sec active rest between each 300 and 4min active rest between each set. My goal was to hit 60-62sec for each 300, my splits were 59 62 62 61 61 63 61 62 60. The workout was really good, my legs felt strong and like they might've had more to give, but it was really hard to breath on account of how cold it was outside. But overall I felt like it was a really solid workout and I feel ready for BYU on Saturday! Afterwards did some weights and I just finished a nice session of yoga which was fantastic.

6×(800m) at indoor 2mile goal pace with 2min rest between each 800. Our goal was to hit 3:05 or faster for each one, my splits ended being 3:02, 3:03, 3:03, 3:07, 3:10, 3:14 I felt really strong at the beginning and even the first laps of set four and five, but I fell apart the last lap. I was just really tired and I couldn't convince myself to go faster so I definitely need to work on that. Overall though I am pleased with the workout.

1.5mile warm up then 2*(400, 600, 200) at goal indoor mile pace. I was going for like 5:40 pace, my splits ended up being 84, 2:07, 40, 84, 2:10, 36 so I was pretty much right on for the whole thing. I got a little frusturated on the last 600, but I still stayed pretty strong mentally. I know I'm pushing myself hard and the times are gonna come, I just need to be patient.

Met Guppy, Gan, and Watson at the HS. We headed up over the overpass and then took a right past AF Jr High then another right and past AF Cemetery, then back on State St. Afterwards we did a quick bike workout (5min hill climb, 2min rest, 3min hill climb, 1min rest, 1min hard, 2min rest.) Then we headed over to kneaders where I had an especially delicious Italian Omelet.

Shout out to Gan for taking a fall on the run today, and shout out to the police officer who drove by to make sure she was okay, he's the real MVP.

Cross training so I did a 50free warm up then I did a breathing workout, so on the odd 25s I increase the amount of strokes between each breath (every 2 strokes, every 3, etc up to 12) and on the even 25s I just went easy for recovery. After that I did an easy 50breaststroke then 250kick then 100free cool down. Afterwards got some weights in so that was good.

Got up to the ice oval around 3:30, warm up was super spotty I got in like a lap and then they made me sit in the bullpen for a while, after that I got another lap in and did some stretches, ate the snickers, and was ready to go. Got to the line and the gun went off, I got out good and fell in kind of between the two front packs with another girl or two. I stayed pretty focused and worked and just moving up and catching up to other girls. Last two laps I kinda fell off and my kick was not fantastic so I need to work on that. My biggest problem right now is still just pacing, I'm having a hard time getting used to the faster pace. I definitely had some energy left over so I should've raced harder. That's ok we'll work on it. On the bright side I cut some time off from BYU so that's good. Hopefully there are more good things to come. Shout out to all the kids on the team who raced today!

Got up to the Oval and realized that I forgot my bib at home #classic so we had to alter another one but no worries it worked out fine. Elevated my legs and then me and Gan warmed up a mile ish (we stayed inside so we just ran for like 10min.) Figured out what our splits should be each lap (1:43s) got to the line, gun went off. Got out pretty good, had to go around a group that was a few girls wide but it wasn't bad since we started on the strait. Just focused on holding pace, me Gan stayed right together and for a while it was just the two of us. Lap splits were all on pace or a bit faster except like lap 5 which wad a 1:46. I lost Gan with about 800 to go so I just focused on trying to pick up the pace and kept my eyes up. Should've started my kick a bit sooner cuz it could've been faster but that's ok. Overall I was really happy with my race, the 3200 is really my favorite race and definitely felt good to finally do it this season. Shout out to Jamie for being such a great coach and helping us to stay on pace! And shout out to the rest of the team for some solid cheering. Also huge shout out to Gan for being brave and doing the two mile for the first time! Oh and to my parent cuz they just treated me to some Texas Roadhouse which was fantastic as always :)

Mile warm up then started the workout. Workout was 2×1000 3×800 4×400 at 2mile pace so 6:00min/mile pace. 90sec rest between each. It was definitely a rough workout, I was feeling sick and pretty unmotivated. Splits were 3:53, 3:52, 3:17, 3:20, 3:18, 94, 94, 88, 88. I had a hard time keeping up with the rest of the girls today, Fridays workout I'm planning on doing better though. Didn't have enough mileage to cool down so I hopped on the bike for 10min. Then did some clams and abs.

I'm down in St George for the weekend so I did the speed workout on the Desert Hills track. 4×(200, 400, 200) at goal mile pace with 60sec rest between and 3min rest between each set. Average for my 200s was 40sec and average for my 400s was 82sec. It was a really good workout and I definitely stayed strong mentally which was my problem on Tuesday so that's good. Even better than that, the weather down here is fantastic. It's so warm and no snow patches on the track so that's a bonus! Afterwards we were stuck at the HS for a bit because my mom was at the conference so we went to the basketball game so that was sick.

Jamie ran with us today which was nice, she really helped with the pacing. Overall today I felt really strong mentally and physically despite being sore still from last week. I was able to stick up with the other girls which was good. Afterwards I cooled down a bit barefoot on the turf, which was quite a bit warmer than I though it would be so that was a bonus.

Did a shakeout two miles during fourth. Drove up to the Oval with Gups, did a mile warm up then got split into heats. I was in the fourth heat with Mario and Kaylee. Going into the race I just wanted to work on sticking with the girls and having a good kick. We started the race and got a bit boxed in but then I made it out and came in right behind Mario and Kaylee. I stuck right behind them the whole time and on the last lap I told myself to start my kick so I did and it ended up being really good. Overall I was happy with my race for sure.

Made the kinda spontaneous decision to run 800 so got in for that, basically just wanted to nit die. It was definitely a tough race my legs started to hurt really bad by the end. So my kick ended up a bit rough but I still pulled out an okay time of 2:38 but I'm still pretty happy with that considering I also ran the mile.

Afterwards got some quality Cafe Rio with Watson and Gan so shout out to them for that!

Woke up early to run so I didn't go with the rest of the team. Jamie had me do 10x400m at 2mile pace with 2:30min rest, then 2x100m all out with 1:00min rest. The workout was pretty chill, just more pacing than anything else. My splits were all around 90sec so thats perfect. Shoutout to the old guy who was also doing a workout on the track this morning, he kills it. Afterwards I hiked Horsetail falls with Badoobs, Christian and Kallie, and we brought a bunch of dogs so that was sick. #5dogs&4dawgs

Collin drove us up and we got there at like 4. Warmed up around 5:40 and met a super cool girl from skyview so we warms up together. Went down to the bullpen and I was feeling petty good but I was more nervous than usual. Did some strides and just kinda prepped for the race. They lined us up and I was on the inside waterfall, I got out at the start really good and fell into a really good position. First 400 was an 82 which was quite a bit faster than I was needing (I was going for 92's) but I didn't stress I just kind of went with it. After the first 400 my right shoe came untied but I was able to ignore it pretty well so that's good. First mile came through at 6:03 and I was feeling really good. Next 400 I focused on surging and staying with the girl who was just ahead of me. But when she started to break away I didn't go with her, and even though my splits stayed pretty consistent they weren't fast enough and I knew and I didn't do anything about it and I'm so mad that I didn't because I could've been way faster. Overall my time was consistent but not what I'm wanted, these next few weeks I'm going to focus a lot on making sure I don't get too comfortable with a pace in my races, I just need to be ok with having it feel a little too fast and being ok with it anyways.

On the other hand Simplot was a lot of fun and definitely a good experience. Shout out to Connor Gan and Guppy for making it to finals and good luck to everyone who's going to be racing on Saturday!

Warmed up two miles then got ready to do speed. Right when we started the first 200 I felt my hip flexor strain or something, anyway it hurt and I talked to Jamie, she said to jog around and see if it felt better so I did and I could feel it kinda pulling but it didn't hurt so I tried another 200 but that hurt quite a bit so I stopped. I did some on the turf then finished up with girls. I'm thinking all I did was tweak my hip flexor a bit so I stretched it out and iced it and I'm gonna try speed tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. On a side note Collin tried to break my legs when he rolled me out today, that was rough.

Gan came with me to swim so we met up and then we did 50free warm up, 8×(50 swim the shallow jog the deep) then Gan left and I did the workout where I breathe every other stroke, then every 3 strokes, every 4, etc up to 12 strokes on the odd laps, and on the even laps I did easy recovery breathing every other stroke. Then 300kick and 8×(25lung buster, 25aqua jog) and 50breaststroke cool down. It was really long and by the end I really wanted to stop but I kept going so I guess you could say I won that mental battle.

Dreammaker today to start off Awesome Week. It did not go well. We were running straight into the wind the whole time which definitely added to my fatigue. I lost it mentally once I got to the hill and I slowed way down. I got 12:00 flat which is 52sec slower than my pr...so I really should have gone faster. But no worries we've got more speed tomorrow so I'm gonna focus on that.

Warmed up a mile on the turf then did 5x500 today at 800 pace for the first 400 and as fast as you could for the last 100 with 6min rest between each 500. Splits ended up being 75, 75, 79, 82, 80. It was definitely a hard workout but I stayed really strong mentally which is an improvement from yesterday. I kept my eyes on the other girls and pushed myself as hard as I could. So I'm happy with how the workout went. And shoutout to all the juniors who took the ACT, thanks for the day off. :)

Took it easy for some good ole recovery so it wasn't bad but I'm definitely tired from yesterday. Also had some quality Roxberry with some quality people ;) and I just bought a sick backpacking pack so that's pretty sweet

Did 2.5 shakeout after school then drove over to Lone Peak. Held baby Finn for a bit then Warmed up with Gan for a mile then warmed up a tad bit early so we had a bit of sitting around to do. Also I forgot a snickers so I just had half a granola bar instead. Did some strides and got ready to race. They split us into two heats and my time was right on the cutoff, but I jumped in the faster heat so that's good. We started out and I got cut off a few times but I tried to focus on staying with the pack. I was a bit behind but I was feeling pretty good. Second lap my arms and legs were on fire they hurt so bad. Overall I wasn't super happy with my race but it went ok, especially with the speed workout yesterday. Cooled down by Highland Glenn Park,shout out to the guy who scared us on the cool down. And shout out to Gan for the grilled cheese and tomato soup, sorry Dallin for forgetting the cheese 😂

Well we got to Davis and it was hailing so me and Gan set up camp inside Davis since we weren't running til like 5:40. Watched the mile,chilled for a while longer, played some speed (which I won) and finally warmed up a mile. We were doing drills on the turf and the weather went from being chilly but not bad to snowy and windy and cold. By the time the race started the snow and wind had backed off though so that was good. First mile I stayed right on pace and just kept right next to this girl from Davis, then she pulled ahead of me and the next three laps I went super slow. Last lap I got back on pace and had a solid kick. Overall I felt there mentally the whole race so now I just need to match that physically and I'll be set. Nice job to everyone who raced today also just in case you're not aware it's #NationalRoastWatsonWeek so prepare your roasts accordingly ;)

For our workout today we did a mile warm up on the turf then 6×400 at mile pace and 3×200 all out with 2:30 rest between each. We had a real struggle pacing, the wind threw us off a bit but splits were 84, 79, 82, 81, 80, 80 and I don't remember the 200s but they were quick. Afterwards my body was shot so.our cool down was ultra slow. Shout out to the crossing guard who gave us Easter candy and to Riley for all the food.

So I raced the mile this morning, mostly I just remember that we warmed up too early so I had to jog around a bit more. I raced in my tights but I definitely should've warn a shirt underneath because I got really cold. I couldn't get my arms or legs to move they were so stiff. Time was a 5:48 so pretty much super bad. I was disappointed but I tried to just kind of brush it off. Went home and watched the first conference session and took a nap. Came back and warmed up for the two mile. Was way warmer outside which felt really nice. Got out really well and was up near the front. First three laps were right on pace, and fourth was pretty much on pace. Then I let this girl get ahead of me I should've gone with her my time would've been much better. 6th and 7th lap were pretty rough but I got back on top of things for the last 800 and I pulled out a pretty good kick. The results say I DNS which is a bummer so this is the time Jamie got me at. So basically another match of my PR. I'm disappointed but I'm just gonna train really hard this next week and work on staying focused for those middle laps. On a side note I roasted Collin pretty good this morning so shout out to me for that ;) and shout out to everyone who raced today because you are all fantastic people :)

Well warmed up a mile and was feeling really good. But I guess I was mistaken. Started out first lap came in around an 88 so that was good. Second lap too slow I got stuck behind some girls. Got out and the next three laps were right on. Then a girl went ahead of me, I tried really hard to go with her ans for a while I did but then she pulled away. After that I died hard but I was there mentally so that may have been the most frustrating. I started to get pretty discouraged but.picked it back up for the last lap. Kick coulda been better but it was pretty good. Super disappointed with my time I felt ready to PR today and I'm running out of races. Idk I guess I'll just keep.working on the mental game and hopefully my body will catch up. Cooled down with Gan then I had to go do some Temple Walk thing with my ward, it hasn't been the.greatest of days but that's allright.

Started out the day with a mile warm up then raced the mile. I felt good, and the pace felt good but that's because it was too slow. Got a 5:50 and I need a 5:48 for BYU so I'm frustrated that I didn't get that since I totally know I can. But that's allright, it was a bit windy which probably affected me as well. Next I raced the 3200m. I wasn't even sure I wanted to, it was pretty cold outside. But I did and I'm so glad. Kaylee was in my heat and for the first mile I just told myself that if I stuck with her I'd get a good time. Lap four some chick from Park City got into an elbow war with me cuz she was trying to cut in on the inside. I finally just let her go cuz she was not gonna stop. Lap five we got up behind this big group and I decided we needed Togo ahead so I did and Kaylee followed. From there we just worked together and finished off strong. I'm super pumped because it's an 8sec PR and my first one of the season. Its really nice to finally see some results! Took a nice long nap then ran the 4×800m. Can't say our time was super amazing or anything lol but it was a good time even in the rain. I love those girls with all my heart they are the best <3 Hottubbing at my house after which is always fun. Nice job to everyone who raced today I hope all your fingers and toes warm up soon :)

Jamie wanted some hills in today so me and Kaylee headed up to the Jr. High then left on 1200 and down airport through the cemetery and back. Saw the boys today and holy cow that pack was huge! Stretched out real nice and did 15min of abs. Ended up being warmer than I thought it would be so that's a win.

Filmed some thing for the senior video then did a mile warm up. Speed today 3×(300 200 100) at goal 800 pace. Splits: 56 36 17 53 34 17 55 34 16 a bit faster than needed but that's allright. I felt pretty good the whole time, legs were a bit sore and stomach was a lil buggy but I the workout still went well. Cooled down mostly with Kaylee. Cold and rainy and cold today.

Warmed up a mile with the girls and headed to the bull pen. I was in heat three so I watched the other girls race, they all killed it btw, then finally it was my turn. Weather was beautiful, a bit chilly but no wind or rain and I was prepared for both so that's a win. They split us into alleys but there were 30 girls in my heat so it was still super packed. Gun went off and I was in good position til everyone cut in. Then I basically had to go around everyone. Came through the first 400 at an 80 so too fast but I didn't worry about it. Settled in fourth behind a LP girl and just let her carry me through the second lap. Third lap we hit the two hundred and were too slow so I tried to pick it up. Apparently I didn't get much faster lol but I didn't slow down at all so that's good. Last lap my arms and legs felt so stiff like they could hardly move. I got passed by some people but I was literally trying so hard. Kick coulda been faster but I was definitely dead by the end. I'm super happy though cuz I'm qualified for BYU and that was the goal. And it's a PR for the season so hopefully an overall PR is just around the corner. Shout out to everyone who raced today nice job and good luck to everyone who hasn't yet! Proms tonight should be sick.

Headed to the Provo river trail with Guppy, Collin, and Ryan. It was super pretty and fantastic. Saw a snake and pretty much almost died. Terrifying. Chilled while Ryan finished up his miles then cruised over to Ryan's for some nectarines and quality grilled cheese.

Half mile warm up on the turf then 2×(200,800,400,200,200,200) 2's at 800pace, 8 at 2mile pace, and 4 at mile pace. 90sec between everything and 4min rest between sets. Splits were 35, 2:55, 80, 37, 35, 36, second set 37, 3:05, 85, 37, 37, 36. First set felt good, second set I really struggled. Mentally I just wasn't there. Also a bit dehydrated and my stomach was bugging me. Really hurt after the workout. Half mile cool down on the turf. Nice job to everyone today.

Got to the meet and got ready to warm up. The weather was pretty nice, a bit chilly but not bad. Warmed up and stretched then headed to the bull pen. Found out I left one of my spikes (the whole shoe) at home. Slightly panicked and ran back to the team tent, thankfully Jamie had an extra pair and they fit. Was in the bull pen for a while, they finally took us out on the track. Got in a few strides, the shoes felt different but they weren't bad. Lined up then we started, I got out in pretty good position. Middle of the pack which was perfect. Don't remember too much about the first lap, but by the second I was up behind the leaders. Just hung on to them but we came through the 800 too slow. I picked it up for like the next 200 and then died hard. Going into the final lap I just felt sluggish and totally unfocused, also my stomach was hurting pretty bad which was weird. Next 300 was pretty rough, got passed quite a bit and had like zero motivation. Last 100 I told myself that a bad race doesn't have to mean a bad finish, so I pushed as hard as I could and pulled out a pretty good kick and passed quite a few girls, that last bit definitely saved my time. Time wise it's a season pr by two seconds, but overall that was the worst I've ever felt racing the mile so I'm not super happy with it. But the first two and a half laps were really good so that's a positive. Shoutout to Zack because I met him today, and to Jamie for coming in clutch with the extra spikes! And of course huge shoutout to everyone who qualified for state today!!!

Got to the meet and played some cards. Warmed up then headed to the check in area. Got on the line, me and Mario were in the same heat. Went off and I got a really good start right up near the front. Felt good but about 200m in my legs started to get real heavy and they were like that for pretty much the whole race. Pushed really hard to keep up with the leaders but I still fell off, threw in some surges but I'm not sure how much good that did. Last lap gave it all I had and had a good finish. It was definitely a solid race and I was really focused and into it the whole time so I'm happy. Also the weather was fantastic which is always a plus. Afterwards took a supercold ice bath and ate my weight in pasta. Kept the mileage extra super low to rest up my legs for the 3200 so we'll see how that goes.

Got to the meet and and hung around for a while. Warmed up, was feeling pretty good definitely a little tired from yesterday. Jamie got me and Kaylee bumped up to the faster heat, which was good but also nerve wracking. Started out good, it was me Gan Watson and Kaylee in a pack. Then Gan and Watson pulled ahead during I think the third lap. After that it was pretty much just me and Kaylee. We took turns kind of trying to push the pace which was good. Seventh lap Kaylee started to pull ahead. I tried to go with but was a few paces behind. Last lap I saw these two girls dying and decided I needed to try and outkick them, which I did so I'm pretty proud of my finish :) Overall a pretty solid race, I really enjoyed it even though it was pretty tough. Good way to finish out my last season, can't believe it's over. This season has definitely not been what I was hoping for, but some positives are that I haven't been injured for an entire year, I've still improved time wise and mentally, and it's been a blast! Shout out to everyone on the team who has made this a great year, love you guys!

My leg was supposed to only be 2.5miles but I didn't see the exchange zone and no one told me to stop so I got in an extra .7 (sorry Josh) but I was okay with that so no worries.

Leg 2: This was definitely my favorite leg. Got in about an hour and a half of solid sleep before Kinley handed off to me at midnight. First mile was on a pretty busy road but then it was on a pretty deserted one with lots of fields and hardly any houses. The stars and moon were super pretty and the weather was fantastic. My leg was mostly flat, a few baby uphills but nothing hard. I passed 25 people so that was fun cuz I always had someone to chase down.

Leg 3: This one was way rough. I didn't realize I was gonna have hills cuz total elevation gain was 170ft but man I was wrong. First mile was gorgeous on a nice trail with some good downhill through some trees. The rest was in a neighborhood and was a lot of steepish downhill then long uphill. But I can't complain too much since lots of people had way harder hills than me. Either way it was way harder than I expected and not all that pleasant.

Overall Ragnar was a blast! Shout out to my team for killing it you guys are super awesome!

I felt pretty good going into, first two miles were good. Then I lost Gan and we started the uphill which kinda wiped me out. Wish I coulda done better but nbd I will next time. Afterwards had some serious tunnel vision and almost passed out (probably fasting the day before.was not my best plan) but no worries I got some food in me and then I.was fine. Chilled with the peeps for a while then jogged on back to the car and headed home. Wish I could say I did something cool tonight instead of avoiding fireworks like the plague lol it's fine.

I was gonna run in the cemetery but there was a funeral going on and I didn't want to distureb anyone. Then I ran up airport hill and along the road til I got on 1200e and headed back home. My legs were thrashed today so I let them have their recovery. Also there's a house in Lehi that's on fire, not sure who it is but keep them in your prayers.

Went out 2.5 and on the way back I was feelin good so I picked up the pace but I don't actually know how fast cuz Jimmys takin a rest day. Went back to Gans and did some abs and had some French Toast which was tasty.

1.5 wu then 3×mile repeats in the pit. I decided to go in the 6:30-7:20 group cuz I wasn't sure how fast I wanted to go. Splits ended up being 6:45 6:24 6:27 so shoulda gone faster on the first one. I felt really good though and last year I struggled to hit splits that quick whereas this time it was relatively easy. Did two miles on the grass at the cemetery and headed back to the park.

Warmed up to Skyridge and got ready for the six minute test! Girls went first so we hopped on the line, Jamie fired the imaginary gun and we were off. Didn't figure out exact splits in my head but I knew I wanted to be over a mile so around 90sec. Came through first lap at like an 84 and was feeling pretty good. Third lap I slowed quite a bit and realized I had like exactly 90sec so I picked it up. Finsihsed really hard, started sprinting before there was 10sec left so that's good. Got 4 laps and 40meters so I felt pretty good about it. Definitely one of my favorite workouts that we do.

Well it's been a while since I've written a quality blog post so I'm gonna write a long one and recap what I've been up to.

So Friday the 16th was the last day of school before fall break. I donated some plasma after class then took of to Cali with Garrison Mirryn and Brandon.

Saturday we went to Newport beach, twas fantastic and Garrison let me eat some of his pizza so I didn't even have to buy dinner. 🙌

Sunday church was quality.

Monday it was rainy so we went to Disneyland!!! Relived some childhood memories there haha. Watched some Nacho Libre that night after a tasty dinner which I also didn't have to ay for.

Tuesday spent a few precious hours at the beach before heading back to Cedar.

Wednesday woke up late and donated so no run for me.

Thursday night Emily cane down and slept over at my house!!! Love her!

Friday skipped class and went hiking in Zions with Emily and her super cool friends from Snow.

Saturday went to some lava tubes and hot springs with the fan

Ended an exciting week with game night after church on Sunday where I won two people at speed and almost dominated at scum.

Went in the afternoon with Macey. We ran up the big hill. It was super duper windy and I almost got blown off the overpass! But it was a good run and not cold, which is cold now. Or maybe I'm just still cold from donating plasma...either way its supposed to snow tonight so pray for me cuz its gonna be cold!!!

First snowfall of the season! Scraped like two feet of the stuff off my car, but I broke out my new coat and its toasty warm. So thats a win. Went up the big hill, down past stadium way to the busy street, and back on 300w. Surprisingly I'm not too dissapointed about the snow, that'll probably change though....oh well :)

Twas a frosty twelve degrees this morning

When Sami and Macey ventured out for a run

They thought the snow was pretty

And that it would be fun

Mile one was chilly

"We'll warm up" they thought naively

Mile two was downright cold

Cold hands

Cold lips

Cold nose

Mile three they almost died

Sami couldn't feel her toes

Will they ever thaw out?

No one really knows.

Did what amounts to about 7 hours of homework, most of it in a row. No run this morning, I needed sleep.

Again with the roomies. Did an almost perfect loop. Last day of school before finals though, that's a plus. 📚
