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.

Pretty rough day today.... I dont know why, but it was just hard.

2 mile warm up, then a 2.5 mile tempo run at last years 3 mile PR pace. I was feeling awful, and cut it short at 2. I finnished with a short cool down. Hopefully tomorrow is better. I think it was just an off day.

Felt great today, despite the awful run yesterday. I was going to go for a slower 4-5 in the evening but decided to go 7 miles at about 3:00 P.M. It was a tough run up to the top of the old trappers loop road but I hit a pretty solid average pace. (6:26)

It actually felt really good to just run hard and sweat a bit.

Team practice today. We did a 6.1 mile run on the North Arm Trail. I went on another 2.5 miler to make up for missed miles on Tuesday.

Weird day today...

I was planning on doing 8-10 400's, but I didn't start until later, and I only go 6 in and a 2 mile warm up before I had to go to work. I got home from work late and didn't have time to finish, but my long run tomorrow will make up for it.

Today I decided to do a stepping stone workout. I ran 2 miles to the park then did 5 min hard, 5 min easy all the way down to 1 minute. I ended up doing 5 miles throughout the stepping stone. Then I took a shorter 1.5 mile route home.
