PRs-

1 mile- 5:42

2 mile- 12:56

5k- 19:52

sadly these were all during my freshman year. Since then I've been injured so I'm just trying to make my way back.

Short-Term Running Goals:

-Shin splints seem to be unavoidable but I'm hoping to be able to finish this year without having them turn into stressed fractures.

-I need to learn to be patient with building my mileage slowly. This may seem like a lame goal but this is my biggest problem. I wish I could just run!

-PVXC= State Champs (:

-1 mile- 5:50

Long-Term Running Goals:

One of these days I'm going to run a marathon and possibly an iron man... some day (:

Personal:

I'm a senior in high school and I love running mucho grande! XC is the bomb and Track.. well it's a way to pass time, and keep me in shape. I also love soccer, and I'm slightly obsessed with dancing. I have the best family ever, and great friends. I hope to graduate and go to SUU.  I also love going to the lake, river, pool... anything that involves swimming. I like to hang out with friends and basically just keep busy.

I ran 5 miles out into coral canyon today. We had to go over Coral Canyon hill and it almost killed me off. I'm usually really good at hills but that hill is murder! Anyway, I ran really hard with Coach, Kaylee, and Josh on the way there, and once we got to the top of the hill I stopped and waited for the rest of the girls team so we could all run back together. It was kinda slow but it was good for all of us to bond as a team. Megan is such an incredible person to run with. She would drop back and then come right back with us when I asked her to. She wants it more than anyone, so she's sure to get it. Once we got back from our run we did a mile of striders. I loveee striders! (: My legs were feeling fine today. they're still sore but that's just cause I've been packing on a lot of mileage lately. I just gotta keep icing, stretching, and rolling. (:

I like the sound of the end of that post - keep taking care of yourself.

I don't say this to put undo pressure on you Rach, but in your running this summer I see the Rachel of Freshman year - the pre-injury and passionate about running Rachel. So keep it up!

Thanks coach! (: This is my year. Hopefully I can make a strong comeback!

You are running great and taking the leadership role to the next level. Keep it up.
