am- 78 min This was one of my best long runs. I stayed up with the top pack the whole time. The tempos got hard, but I was still able to push and stay with them.

pm- 20 min E

am- weights and 15 min 

pm- 55 min The run was really good except it felt really fast on the way back from green springs. It was a really good push though and I stayed with the group.

am- 20 min and plyos

pm- 60 min, 5x4:00  I felt sore and tired today. The workout was pretty good but I could've done better. I hit most of my times but wasn't with the pack.

am- weights and 15 min

pm- 55 and 8 striders  It was a really fun run at sugarhouse park and the striders felt good.

am- 25 min  We did a bunch of the same loop over and over again at Murray park but it was fun. 

pm- 35 min with striders  We ran the Bob Firman course and practiced starts. It made me kind of nervous but Roberts helped me be excited instead of nervous

am- 50 min Bob Firman race  It was different racing in a big race like this. My first mile felt awful and I was being super negative. During the second mile I was able to get out of that mindset and do better. Wasn't my best race but it was good.

am- 70 min long progression run

This was a really good run and we had really good packing throughout the whole run. Long runs are getting way better for me.

My calf was hurting a lot during the afternoon run but other than that it was a good run.

am- 20 min and plyos 

pm- 45 min

My calf and achilles was hurting super bad. After the run it was hurting to walk so I stretched and rolled a ton. I didn't do well on the workout at all.

am- 12 min and weights

pm- 40 min with striders

My calf still hurt but was way better than yesterday. Iced and rolled it after both runs. 

am- 20 min with plyos and weights

pm- 50 min Cedar Invite

The race was really hard for me. I felt so exausted and sore and didn't really know had to push through it. On the long slight downhill on the sidewalk my legs didn't hurt as bad so I everytime I tried to push especially hard there. Not happy with how my race turned out and felt really stressed and dissapointed about it. Next week my goal is to get a ton of sleep so I'm not as tired and hopefully I'll recover better.

55 min

Took Treyson to sullivan and ran while he played soccer. He ran 4 minutes with me! It was a good run. After I played frisbee with him :)

am- 60 min

pm- 20 min

The morning run felt super great and pretty easy because it was shorter than normal and we didn't have tempo or anything. I ran with Gracie after we had to split from the other girls. I feel recovered from the injuries and soreness of last week! I am so excited to race tomorrow! I just have to get mentally prepared.

50 min w/4 striders

My hip and knee hurt a little but Roberts said sometimes our body justs tests us with little injuries like that and I know that's happening to me.

25 min

20 am It was weird not having weights but it was a good run. Iced my knee after.

50 pm The race felt pretty good. I learned after snow canyon that I shouldn't go out way to fast on the first mile so I stayed with Gracie for a while then started leading. Then later Sam caught up to me and I pushed to stay with her. We ran together for a long time but I struggled way more than I should have on the 3rd mile. I loved the cowbell thing because when I was hurting, committing to three hard steps made me believe in myself again. It feels great to start having some good races again.

20 min

I felt like we were going so fast. It was good though.

45 min

I felt tired and worn out but I pushed to stay with the group the whole time. It was fun running a different way than normal.

am- 20 min

pm- 50 min trail run

It was way fun to run on a trail. I was a little tired today but it was still a way good run.

65 min

The workout was way good today. First was 10 min tempo and we had great packing on that. Then 3x2 min which were good too. Lately I've been struggling at the end on workouts and races so I started the 4x1 min bad. The first two I wasn't with the pack and I needed to be. I helped lead the the next one and stayed with the pack on the last two. It helped me know that I can still push harder at the end.

60 min w/ striders

We did a night run and started at Jessica's house. It was way fun but we had to go all over her neighborhood to get to 60.

am- 40 min 4x400

400s felt like a good pace and felt really short. It was a great workout.

pm- 20 min

am- 20 min

pm 30 min w/ striders

fun run to relax and get ready for state. Running in different places is always super fun

am- 20 min

pm- 50 min

I am so happy and grateful that I got to race at state this year. Its an experience that I will never forget. The race was pretty good for me. I had one of the best starts I've ever had. Around 2 miles I was getting tired but I was around 3 desert hills girls but I knew I had to stay with them and that helped me a lot. The end was one of my best too. I'm still not sure how good of a race it was for me. The rest of the girls did amazing and I love our team so much. 

pm- 55 min 

I was tired and sore but pushed to stay with the pack. It was fun to run the river trail again.

45 min

Ran with with my dad. My leg hurt but mostly my knee. It seems like every week something different is bothering me, but luckily it doesn't get too bad and just goes away.
