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.

Practice with the xc team today. We ran on the trails above Weber State. I ran with jake on the way out, but then we both got lost and ran some extra before we found each other. I ended up running 5 miles. 

Later today I ran 2 miles with 8x200m strides after.

So I was kinda dumb and decided that I would combine a tempo workout and a hill workout in the same day... Not a good plan. 

I started with a 1.5 mile warm up. Then did a 2.5 mile tempo run over to some hills. (5:45 pace) Then I did a mile of repeats up a pretty steep hill at pace for a 5:10 mile. Then I cooled down for 2.5 miles, and finnished with 800m of strides. 

Pretty tough workout.

Track workout today. I decided to do a 1.5 mile warm up, then 1x1200m, 3x800m, 3x400m, and 4x200m with a 1:1 rest.

1200m- 3:27     800m- 2:20, 2:33 ( felt awful on that one), 2:17.    400m- 1:02, 1:07, 1:06.   

200m- 29, 29,29, 28.    I felt great the entire workout except for that one 800. My splits were faster than my mile pr pace of 4:40 by quite a bit so I was happy.  

Cool down then 1.5 miles later.

6 mile uphill trail run this morning at an ok pace. Then a few hours after I got home my neck started to hurt a lot so we went to the doctors and they took some x-rays, and apparently I had a big muscle spasm in my neck. They gave me some pretty strong meds, and said that I can't run for 3-4 days because that would make it flare up, but I ran another easy 2 miles tonight because I felt rebellious. Hopefully it gets better soon.
