I want to set some new PRs this year.

Personal:

I started running in 2001.  My first 5K was the Salt Lake Classic that year.  I ran it in just under 33 minutes.  I was excited that I could run the whole distance.  My dad and I joked around about doing a marathon, but then we decided, "Why joke about it when we could actually do one?"  We trained for the Top of Utah marathon the next year and ran it in 5:38.  It was such a great feeling of accomplishment!

It's been fun to see how I've improved over the years. It's been such a blessing in my life to have met so many other running friends and to train under such a dedicated and selfless Coach (Bill Schmid).  I hope to keep improving and thriving in the great sport of running!

Today's the first time I ran in a couple of weeks.  I ran at the track at Murray High.  The cross country team was their doing 200 m repeats.  I just ran a steady pace.  My right knee hurt the whole time, but it doesn't hurt to walk on it anymore.  It will get better, but it's so hard to be patient!
