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.

4.75 miles this morning on some awesome trails behind Pauls house, Me and Gavin got lost and ran about a mile on some random trail before getting back on the one we were supposed to be on. Had a great breakfast at his house after. Did another 3.25 tonight with Jake, Henry, and a little with McKenna at the end.

Ran on the trails behind Weber state today with Talon, Paul, and Addison. We went 5.25 miles, when we got to the waterfall canyon Talon made us run up it even though the time was already up and we were supposed to be heading back, but we ran to the top and back down and I am glad they had me do it. Later tonight I just did 2.5 but ran into henry around half way and tallked to him for a minute.

Ran .5 mile before meeting up with Henry and Talon to run up 500 W for my 500th mile. It is 1 mile from bottom to top and about a 500 foot elevation change, so I thought it would bee perfect for my last mile. Talon really pushed me up it and I was able to get up it in 8 minutes and 10 seconds, the fastest I've ever made it. After we ran  to my house and ate.

We decided that a great way to end off our summer training would be to run/hike up Ben Lomond peak. So Me, Jake, Talon, Gavin, and Addison me at 6 AM and started our journey, we only ended up hiking about a mile total, but we did stop and take quite a few breaks. It was super awesome and we passed some awesome people doing the Skyline 50K. It went well and besides Jake and Me tripping, Addison getting stung by a wasp,  and Talon and Gavin almost attacking a Rattlesnake before it ran for its life. it was a great way to end the summer!
