| Location: Huntsville,UT,United States Member Since: May 25, 2015 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: Pre- High School- I did a few local races, such as 4th of July/charity 5ks. I mainly just ran for fun, and to get a feel for running. I didn't do a lot of training or workouts until Jr. High track started. As high school got closer, i started to get more serious.
Freshman Year- I decided to run xc for Weber High School. I ran very little over the summer, and had a rough start to the season. Despite the rough start, I got faster and was able to run on the varsity team more often than not. I dropped my 3 mile time to 17:04, but didn't make it to State. I finnished the season at Footlocker west regionals. I didn't prepare well and placed 22nd in the freshman race. (4th from Utah) Indoor track started and I wanted to break 5 really bad, but ended up running 5:02 at Simplot. When outdoor track started I was really anxious to win. I practiced with the high school as much as possible, despite running for Snowcrest Jr. High. I won a few outdoor meets, and dropped my mile time to a 4:40. At the district meet I took 2nd in the mile to Bronson Winter. During the 800m, I got a PR of 2:07.
Sophomore Year- I put in a good summer of running and was super excited for xc. I was now the 2nd man on the team. I had some really great races and continued to improve. I finished the regular season with a 16:00 5k. At footlocker west, i had a good race but not quite where i had hoped. Indoor came around and i had some nice PR's before i got bursitis in my left knee. Got better and transitioned to outdoor where the season started off well. After running my PR of 4:23 1600m, i got really sick and never got back to 100% during the season. I ended up at 9:41 for 2 miles, and 2:05 800m. I didn't have the performance I wanted at state, but im ready for the next year.

400m- 55, Sophomore track 2016
800m- 2:05, sophomore track 2016

Qualify for Footlocker Nationals Long-Term Running Goals: Keep improving and getting faster. Train hard and not get burned out. Basically just enjoy the run. Personal: I will be a Junior at Weber High School this year. I'm LDS, and will be serving a 2 year mission after High School. I love animals, hiking/ fishing with my dad, and running with my friends.

| | 3.5 today with the guys, then we went in to the school and did some 20m sprints down the hallway with the sensors. I think we did 10 total. It was a nice easy day.

| | Long warm up then 10x 200m. The track isn't completely shoveled yet so they were on the road. We started with a 34 then made each one a little faster so we finished with a 25. Long cool down after.

| | Today was a fartlek with the team. 6.6 miles and lots of quick sprints. Felt good everywhere but my digestive system. If i remember right, there might have been a broken toilet involved after...

| | Today we did 6x200m and 2x400m. They were all slightly uphill so the splits were junk but it was a nice fast workout. cool down to get the rest of the miles.

Utah distance challenge (1 Miles) 00:04:36, Place in age division: 2 | | Finally ran the mile again. I only had time for a short warm up but it wasn't bad. I ended up running a 4:36. Thats a 4 second all time PR and a 10 second season PR. Still not as fast as i wanted but it was great to know that im in decent shape after my injury.
Ran the 800m about an hour later. I ran 2:06, a 1 second PR, but i was pretty dead from the mile.
Pretty good day. 2 new PR's

| | Helped at the consessions stand for the v ball tournament with Talon, McKenna, Bj, and Jake. Jake and I went for a good 4.5 miler later that evening. Fairly certain that we both contracted cardio-vascular giardia. This inversion is nasty. Thank goodness it's not in the valley.

| | Drove down to Weber for a run with the guys. It's probably out last day for a good workout before simplot prelims on Thursday. We ran up to the top of 500 west and climbed through the neighborhoods til we hit the north Ogden divide. Then we just weaved through some neighbor hoods until we got back to the school. We tried the canal road for a little but it was still pretty snowy. The run ended up at about 7 miles, 6:30 average. Back at the school we did some 200's on the track and went to Brayden's.

Simplot Games (0.5 Miles) 00:02:06, Place overall: 2 | | Today was day 2 of the Simplot games. I only raced the 800 in the medley relay today. We missed finals by .5 seconds, but i was happy, cause i tied my PR. Earlier that day, Talon, Brayden, and I went on an easy 3 run up some little mountain thing to some pillars.
Also, shout out to Brielle Fernelius for finally getting some action with C. Field.

Simplot Games (finals) (1.5 Miles) 00:04:35, Place overall: 27, Place in age division: 6 | | Finals were today. I was feeling ok, and ran a new PR of 4:35. I felt ok about it, but i'm ready for outdoor. Later, i ran the 4x800. Most of the guys on the team were pretty wrecked from all the racing, so it was a little rough, but we did ok. (2:10 split)

| | 4 miles again today. I slipped and ate it hard at the end of the first mile. Dont ask me how it happened cause it wasn't rainy or snowy, or even slick at all. I just kinda went down. Maybe im having a stroke...

| | Finally ran with the guys again today. After we witnessed the most intense flip ever from jake smith, we decided to run the trails above 500 W. Jake turned back early cause his tailbone was quite sore from the intense 360 poin flip that i previously mentioned. We ended up running straight down the face on our way back. Everyone was falling through the snow and going down hard. We stopped to extract a cactus, and as you can probably guess, bj screwed up. He just sorta tipped forward and fell straight into the cactus. After much swearing and screams of agony, he finally pulled himself together. We ended our run by exploring the caves. Brayden seems to know them quite well... i wonder why.

| | I dont really remember this run but im just gonna say it was a good one. I probably fell again, cause that always seems to happen at the most awful times.

| | I started morning runs again today. 3 easy miles at a gentle pace.
After the track meeting, we did 5 miles then played some ultimate frisbee. Brielle is 35% awful at it.
