Long-Term Running Goals:

After my mission (tentatively June 2017-June 2019), which will be two years of virtually no running, I want to build my fitness back up stronger than it ever was before. Then when I think I am ready I may attempt for a spot on the USU roster again. We'll see how long I have to do that based on age and eligibility and stuff. If I don't ever do it that's fine, I'll still have a lot of fun with running. Some times I want to beat someday:

15:30 5K 

1:10 HM

2:40 Marathon

I have a fantasy in my mind of really breaking through in the marathon and making the olympic trials but we'll see about that haha. That would honestly be a dream come true. I definitely want to run the Boston Marathon at least once. Also maybe when I'm old but not too old I might try a 100 miler to qualify for Western States. 

 

 

Personal:

Freshman at Utah State University. I still have not chosen a major. Just graduated from Logan High School in May 2016. One thing I enjoy aside from running is music, weather it's playing or listening. I am member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and plan on serving a two-year mission after two semesters of school.

Pretty successful day I might say. When I woke up I still felt fine, no stomach issues. We got to the meet at about 8, and the sun was shining through the clouds, but it was super windy. Kinda chilled out until after the hurdles and 100m, then started to jog on the turf, my shin was hurting, but not my calf, so that's good. The best weather of the meet was definitely in the first few events. It wasn't wet at all, nice temp, just pretty windy. I was in heat 2 with two other guys from the region, Payton Bailey from Morgan and Nate Medsker from BL, and they were seeded within 2 seconds of me. I got pretty nervous before, I don't think I'll ever get used to that, it's almost gotten worse this season. I was on the very outside of the first waterfall. Gun went off and I had to like run over some of the cones they had set up. I feel like I got a good start, I wasn't like boxed in. On the homestretch a couple of guys passed me and it got a bit physical there. Came through in a high 66, staying relaxed. Tried to sort of maintain the next lap, ran a 73 oops. The 800 was 2:20, and when I heard that I knew it was the fastest I've ever been at that point, it was also my sophomor 800 pr fun fact. So I tried to push it on the next lap and I thought to myself how cool it would be to run in the 4:30s, I think I may have lost focus though later in the lap. Tried to kick pretty good the last 400 but I feel like I could have been more focused that last 200, and drive my legs really well. If I had done that I think I could have broken 4:40, but 4 second PR so what's not to like, I'll be running another fresh mile in a week anyway. An Orem kid passed me with 100 to go and I was behind him, then I decided to try and beat him the last 25, and I thought I did, but we actually TIED, I know crazy we both ran a 4:42.39, I'm sure that doesn't happen often. I beat both the Region 11 guys and am now ranked third. And I got spiked for the first time so that was cool. After that the rain started, and I cooled down a mile, took my stuff inside, elevated the legs, and chilled for the next like 8 hours, including taking our bus down to Farmington and getting food.

So I didn't see any invited distance races which I regret but oh well, I was resting and staying dry indoors. The 4x8 took forever to come around, but when it did it really creeped up on us and before we knew it we were standing out there in the cold pouring rain ready to start. I was our first leg, so I had a lot of pressure on me. I kid you not, there were 25 teams in one heat, it was crazy. We were seeded 4th. I was soo nervous on the line, and had to move around alot to stay warm. I got out really well, I think I was in second 50 meters in, and then Olympus passed me and gave me a nudge, I did not like that I had to put out my had. Anothe guy did the same thing. So I was about 5th for the first lap, 200 was 27, 400 was 59 maybe. I was already starting to feel it bad. The backstretch was rough, rain in the face and everything. I tried to kick, but one or two more guys passed me and I gave the baton to Isaac in about 7th. I split a 2:06, so not bad, I was running that fresh a few weeks ago. Isaac ran a 2:03 and moved us into third. HE'S BACK! Then Tyler had a rough one and we moved back into like sixth. Jack got the baton and we were really counting on him, and he ran really hard. He caught Lehi who was in 3rd with 200 to go, but then he passed him again on the homestretch, and we took fourth, missing the podium and medals by a fraction of a second. Dangit. Oh well. That's pretty good considering we were the only non-4A/5A school out of 25! Final time was 8:20.9, so a new school record by 12 seconds, and that's really what we were going for. But aggh I could've got a medal. Maybe we can do it again at like region and bring it down further, but probably not. Definitely a race I will remember more than others. Cooled down a half mile on then concrete track upstairs. Great meet, it was really fun. Not a solid week but hopefully I'll get that taken care of.
