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

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.

There was a team practice today at North Fork. We just ran 3 miles up to the waterfall but it was pretty steep. I ended up doing about 4 or 5 because Henry got lost and Sam and I were trying to find him. He was halfway to Canada before someone found him. 

I ran another 4 tonight just to get more miles in. The muscle relaxant medication that I have to take for the muscle spasm makes my legs all weird and I can't really get them to move at a fast pace, but I was able to run it at a 6:10 pace so not too bad.

2 miles this morning. Then I decided to do a 4 mile tempo run with a mile warm up and cool down. The tempo run was at about a 5:45 pace.

I kind of just did a spontaneous 7 miler at 9:45 pm after I got home from work. I took it slow on the trail cause it was dark, but I did a 7:00 pace

We had practice as a team this morning, at Weber. I ran with Jake, Henry, and Holden. We took it fairly easy and just went  adventuring through people's yards and running away from an angry Asian lady. 

I decided to do a little quicker 3 miles tonight. (5:57 pace)

I was planning on doing some repeats today but a little ways into the workout my legs were just really tired so I decided to take it easy and do an easy 3 miles. Then I did a fast 2 miler with some sprints later in the day.
