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.

Ugh, not one of my most gloriful workouts. In seventh hour I popped in the weight room and did some lunge thingies with the dumbells where you go up and down with you back leg elevated, works your hammy. Then I did hang cleans. Went outside and the sun was shining and it was hot. I jogged two laps, and then did hurdle mobility while I waited for practice to start, and a little bit of core. We had a team meeting and then 800 warmup and drills. The workout today was our staple workout, the 4 1000s and 4 400s with 3 min recoveries, full in between sets. I'm already starting to get sick of it. I changed into the adizero tempos and started. First one had more headwind than tailwind and was a 3:25, so I thought, no big deal. The next one felt harder, so I thought it would be way faster because it had a lot of tailwind, but it was a 3:24. Pushed super hard on #3, turned outo be 3:25. Ah shoot. So I knew I would have to hurt if I wanted to run faster on the last one, I think I started out at the same pace but kicked in with 300m left, crossed at 3:21. Waited around, changed into the LTs, and after procrastinating I finally started the quarters. Started with a 65, it felt fast, but I was happy that it was that fast. Next one was a low 69, it felt more relaxed. Tried to push it on the next one, came out with 66. Last one 63, and I was working really hard and kicking. So that was dissapointing because I averaged 3:20 and high 64 two weeks ago, I hope it had something to do with lifting before and not getting a lot of sleep, but with some bad thresholds too, I'm starting to fear burnout. We'll see I'll just take it super easy tomorrow. Mile cooldown around the school with Paul. I've decided I'm running the 3200 and 1600 on Saturday, I still really want to qualify for BYU in the 3200. I'm pretty sure Pine View doesn't go so that helps my chances.

Pretty productive day. In seventh hour I did squats and bench, then headed outside and did a tiny bt of hurdle mobility, but mostly layed on the turf and waited for practice to start. It was nice and warm and cozy. Then after our full team warmup, the distance did all our hip drills and core beforeour run. Short run, just short of four miles on the river trail, 7:45 ap. Felt relaxed, and it was a great day to be out. We got back and did four strides and full hurdle mobility as a team. I got the fifth mile in my warmup for weights and the team warmup.

Today was pretty good! I decided that in my seventh hour sports class I would run a mile on the track, in spikes, at two mile pace, just to get a feel for it. It was pretty warm today, and there was a heavy southblowing wind (headwind on backstretch). So yeah I kind of felt it out, didn't look at the watch too much, I was on pace for sub 5:20 at 1000m (I was pretending I was starting an actual race) Came out with 5:25. That was really frustrating, because it felt faster than it should have, and my PR from indoor is 5:20s. So I jogged inside to the treadmill because you can't fall off pace on a treadmill. Set it for 5:14 pace and ran a mile. It was tough, but now I have a mile at that pace under my belt, and I was slightly tired from the previous running, and I was in my trainers. When I ran 10:44 full two miles I did a treadmill workout at that pace for two seperate miles, and it seems to have helped, got my body primed for it. If conditions are good on saturday than I am hopeful, I just have to set a fast rhythm from the start. During the mile on the track, Sky Views JV team was sitting in the bleachers, and I felt pretty silly. During the meet, the varsity distance went and did 200m hill reps at the temple. I just did six, waited around for the first two. I started with Jack the whole time, but he was just slightly ahead of me on all of them. I went 33.6, 32.6, 31.9, 31.0, ?.??, and 31.4 (didn't get the fifth one) so that is definitely faster than my previous average. I know it was only six but I had that pace work before. We jogged back very painfully and slowly and then halped out a bit and watched the JV meet. Beautiful day! Definitely on the hotter side for what we're used to tho.

Pretty good day. It was sooo hot. Hands down the hottest day this year in Logan, which was only 70 but felt like an oven. In seventh hour I did a half mile on the treadmill which felt pretty good and then did 2x5-6 hang cleans, just to get some of that in. Then I waited around for practice to start, and distance did a butt load of core before we left on our run. By the time we left I think it was like 3:30 and th soccor game had already started. I split off from the group and ran mostly on my own, I don't know why, just felt like it today, I did cliff side, and then nature park, ran up the side trail, and came back through the dirt road in river heights all while developing a nice tan. When I got back I did 4x100 with the team and we were done.

Half mile warmup, 2x400 @ 75 and 68 (32 and 1600 start). 2x200 in 29 and 27. Mile cooldown. I think the team needs to start doin mile warmups, an 800 isn't enough. I am very hopeful for tomorrow.

Race went well seeing that it's a PR! I went to the track at 9 and the 3200m was probably an hour later. I was in the first heat with 24 people, seeded 13th. They had us do a start I've never done before, a stagger where four people are in sets of two lanes with miniwaterfalls that I had never noticed before. Went out in 2:30 and 5:14 so I faded off pace in some of those later laps. I was in a pack with 3 other guys the whole time, the chase/second pack basically. I am happy that I was able to run a PR because I haven't run well in any of our more aerobic workouts the past couple weeks. And I ran that 5:24 paceing trial on Wednesday which felt hard. My kick wasn't great, I got passed by all the guys in our pack on the last 300, including Eric Nelson on the home stretch, shoutout to him. 

Headed home after a short cooldown and showered, ate a pasta lunch, and took an hour and a half nap. Headed back at about 2:30, maybe an hour or so before the mile. It had warmed up a ton, felt really hot, and the wind had picked so there was a headwind on the home stretch. I got there just in time to see Jack take second in the 800 to Dallin Leatham and miss state qual by .04 (2:00.26 was his time). Hung out with him inside where it was cool for a bit, then soon it was ready to warm up for the 1600. I did a half mile on the treadmill at 7:30 pace to see how I felt, then did a mile warmup with MC on the turf.

I was again in the fast heat, and we did the same stagger as earlier. Gun went off, we got about 50m and the gun went off again. Luke Summers had taken a spill. A minute later it went down for real, we started.  I ran a perfect tangent from the break line, and I was sort of at the back of the front pack. I could see Hayden Ewer up ahead, and Spence$Nelson a little bit further up. and some time Connor Compton blew past me into the next group. Opened in 68, felt kinda tired but not terrible. Came to the 800 and I knew it was slow but I heard someone say 76, and I freaked out, but it must have been Hayden's split because I passed him right before. Tried to push it as always, don't know any other splits. By now I was catching up to Ccomp, but a Ogden kid passed me. I think I had a decent kick the last 400, I passed a Madison kid on the back stretch, and passed ccomp on the curve, and a different Ogden kid. I saw Spencer not too far ahead and was going to try and catch im. Then ccomp passed me again, and I let him get a gap on me, then really started going and closed just a bit, but not enough. Final time 4:47 so a second off my PR. Better kick the 32, I felt powerful. Cooled down a mile and a half barefoot with MC and Josh Leatham from Viewmont, and watched the 4x4. Fun day! I think I can defintely go sub 4:40 the next time I race the mile fresh, not next week but at Davis. I am now ranked 6th in the Region for the 800 and 4th in the 1600 and 3200.
