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.

I did an easy 5 before practice this morning. Today was the first day of heat week, so we ran over to highway 89 and back. On the way out we averaged 5:52, and back we were a bit slower. Our average pace was around 6:30. I did a few extra miles and ran over to weber for a total of 7.

Ran over to practice at Weber and we did a 3 mile warmup down to 2700 for a tempo. Split a 5:30 something mile for the first and finished at a time of 11:28 for a little over 2. I did a couple of strides and ran back to Weber. Later tonight I did an easy 5.

I decided that I needed a long run this morning, so I headed out on canal. I did a mile around Mcgriff park when i got there. Soon after I saw the legendary Ben VanBeekum and ran with him for a couple of miles. The average pace was 6:50 for 10 miles. Later, I ran over to Weber for practice again and we ran over to Lomond View park for a circut. I had a lot of fun and did well. That all totaled 7.5 miles.

Easy 7.25 miles this afternoon with the team. Later tonight I did a 1-1-2-3-2-1-1 fartlek with a mile warmup and .75 mile cooldown. On the fast portions I was cruising and ran up the hills and on the flat at Barker Park in Pleasant View. On the easy I ran down the hills, so I could run back up.
