Running Accomplishments:

Pre-highschool: I loved to run and ran a few small local 5k's, but I did not run much on my own, besides junior high track.

Freshman year: I ran cross country and traied wih the team most of the summer.  When the season started I ran 3 races including Murray Invitational.  I got a huge PR there but after the race my foot hurt and I had a hard time walking. I ran on it for the next week but it was not getting better, so I went to a Sports MD and found out that i had a stress fracture.  Becaue of that injury I missed the rest of the season. Then I ran track for my junior high but did not do extremely well.

Sophmore year: I trained hard over the summer and I got a 3 minute PR on my first race.  I continued to PR, and had a good, injury free season. I ran indoor track an had some good PRs. I ran at simplot and had a great time. I did track and  ran some goodtimes and cut my time down by 15 seconds, I was hoping that I could get low 5's in the mile, but I had fun and was able to race at the steepechase and have a fun time through out the season. At sophmore region I was able to PR in the 800 and I missed my PR in the mile by 2 seconds.

Junior year: I ran a little over 500 miles over the summer, but wasn't improving how I would have liked over the season. I was not consistant at all and was sick for aboout 3 races. I finally had a good race at region and dropped a 46 second pr. Track went well, I went sub-5 in the mile finally and got a PR in the 2 mile pretty easily. I didn't really hit the times I had hoped for throughout the season due to sickness and I just wasn't in it.

PRs:

800: 2:11

1600: 4:56.35

3200: 11:17.47

3 mile: 17:41

5k: 18:07

Short-Term Running Goals:

Cross Country 2016:

Run 650 to 700 summer miles SUCCESS

Low 15's on the 5K and Sub 15 3 mile

Place at region and state

Go to footlocker nationals

Track 2017:

Sub 4:20 mile

Sub 9:15 on the 3200

Sub 2:00 on the 800

Sub 6:25 on steeple chase

Qualify for State, Arcadia, and Great South West, and become the best runner I can be.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run cross country and track in college. Keep improving and just having fun. I'll probably run an ultra or two for the heck of it and to see if I like them.

Personal:

I'm a Senior at Weber High School. I am LDS and plan on serving a mission before college. I'm a member of The Hobbyjogger Project.

5 miles this morning up at the top of the divide on the Ben Lomond side. I made it 2.5 miles up, which is farther than i've ever ran up in a team practice before. Later tonight I did another easy 5 to get to 10. I went at like 10 PM, so it was super dark and there was a full moon, so to be honest, I felt like I was going to get murdered or somthing pretty much the whole run. The wind was blowing the whole time and I kept passing houses with wind chimes that were freaking me out! So if by chance you happened to see a runner running back and forth in a zig zag pattern down Weber High drive, it was most likely me...

I ran over to McGriff park this morning to do a quick fartlek. I did another 1-1-2-3-2-1-1 and stayed around 5:50 for the fast and 7:30 for the slow. I felt a lot better doing it than usual so I'm getting stronger for sure. With the warmup and cooldown I went 7.5 miles. Later tonight I did 3 more around 10:30 after work. I guess last night wasn't sketchy enough for me; luckily I did not get killed, so that is definately a plus.

This morning we did an easy 7 as a team. I ran with Add and Talon and we had a good time. I got stung by a bee mid stride which is ironic becasue i've only been stung 3 times ever, and all of them have been on runs when I haven't been doing anything to anger them... We took an ice bath in the river after, and some of the dudes went off the rope swing. Later tonight I took Dan around Paris, Idaho for 3 miles at a pretty good pace just showing him the town and shaking our legs out after the drive.

Woke up early this morning and did a tempo with Dan up and down main street. We did a 2 mile warm up and then some strides. I did 2.5 miles at tempo pace and averaged right around 6:05. We did a 2 mile cooldown. Later tonight I did 3.5 miles out on a dirt road with my dad following me on a 4-wheeler so I didn't have to bring a headlamp.

Great run tonight!! I went 10 miles at a 6:38 pace; which is one of the fastest long runs I have ever done. I felt really good during it, and I didnt even feel like I was going super hard.
