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.

All time official PRs:

400m- 55, Sophomore track 2016

800m- 2:05, sophomore track 2016

1600m- 4:23* (sea level) Sophomore track 2016

3200m- 9:41, Sophomore track 2016

3 mile- 15:27* Sophomore xc 2015

5k- 16:00, sophomore xc 2015

*times converted

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 15 for 3 miles

Sub 15:30 5k

Place in the top 10 at state xc

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.

I started my summer training today. Some of the guys from Weber and I made a goal of running 500 miles this summer to get ready for xc. 

3.5 mile run this morning, before visiting the cemeteries. Then an aditional 3.5 in the evening on some trails around Pineview Reservoir to get up to 7. They weren't horribly fast, but the goal right now is to just ease into the training after my short break, and get my mileage back up.

Fairly easy 3.5 this morning at about 7 in the pouring rain. 

Did an additional 4 miles tonight: 2 mile warm up/shakeout run, then a 2 mile tempo at last years 3 mile PR pace. (5:41min/mile) but I was feelin good and took it at a 5:37 pace, or 11:15 total.

Ran a few miles to and from the park to play some soccer/ football. Then 4 more this evening. Pretty painful couple of runs today, but I guess that's just how it goes some times.

Pretty tough workout today, all on trails. 

I started with a 1.5 mile warm up/ shakeout, then did:

2x1600m at a 5:35 pace,

2x800m at 2:30 pace,

2x400m at 1:14 pace. I had a 1 to 1 break between all of them.

I did an aditional two miles late after work.

Hard 4.5 this morning up middle fork with my dad. Slower pace but lots of hill practice so that's a plus. I did an additional 3 miles with Brayden, and passed Henry on the way.
