Races Turkey Run * Distance: 4 Miles * Place: 6th * Time: 21:43 (5:26 per mile) This race has become a family favorite tradition, being our 4th year in a row participating. It was the first year we had bad weather too! And there was a ton of snow. I warmed up by running
Races Blizzard 5K * Distance: 5K * Place: 6th * Time: 16:44 Considering I’m actively recovering from shin and hip injuries, and still sick with the flu, I am happy with today’s performance. I felt fairly relaxed the entire race. I decided to kick in a little gas on the last half mile.
Races BYU Homecoming 5K * Distance: 5K * Place: 5th * Time: 16:19.6 Flo's Race! We kicked off the morning with Flo's 200-meter race! She did great for the first half and then almost wanted to quit. Then the finish line was in sight and she grabbed my hand to hobble

Races Provo City 5K - Tied my PR!!! Yet another race that was measured too long by 0.1 miles! Haha! I tied my PR of 16:16, I couldn’t believe it. I was waiting to empty a little more liquid at the enormous porter potty line. Then they started a countdown for the race! I ditched
Races BYU Rex Lee 5K Another fun 5K! I steadily went up the hill and slowly caught everyone. The front pack held it together for a while and I slowly caught up at around 1.5 miles. They started to slow down so I took up the pace and went ahead on the last mile.
Races Gold Rush 5K First race in a while. Felt smooth until mile 3, but still had kick at the end to move up from 3rd to 2nd. A lot of very sharp turns and the course was slightly long. Overall, a fun race! Race Start Flo really wanted to run with me. What
