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.

AM: 4 miles out and back on a dirt road by my grandparents house, 7:05 ap. And I know that because I finally got a new running watch! It felt somewhat pushed and I felt tired towards the end with heavy breathing, but I think it's great that I could just jump out of bed and run at that pace today. Had to wear my bulky lunar eclipses but it was fine. Great weather up here, got pretty hot. I would have gone more if I had the time but I didn't get up early enough. Great to be back! Shooting for just below 40 this week tand that should be pretty easy.

PM: Easy 2 mile loop in the dark after driving home cuz I wouldn't settle for a 4 mile day. Legs felt pretty good, took it easy at 7:27 pace. I think I'll be doubling alot more this summer expecially when I raise my mileage.

Today was like a typical summer day for me, but hopefully I don't make it a habit again. I slept in and then hit the road at noon, when it was probably in te 80s for temps. Just ran around town, up to Old Maine where I tried to get a segment CR on the footpath but stopped to get ready to sprint within the segmens #stravaprobs then I ran through the sprinklers and dropped down to the canal trail then down to the island and ran up cliffside hill and cut over to he nature park and went straight home from there. I had alot of stops for various reasons, but it was still an okay run. 7:27 average.

I went down to the Avon trail with Strand, Isaac, Paul, and Kalin at 7 am to run. Great to be back there after a good 7 months probably. Went up at a decent pace(7:20ish) which is faster than I've ever gone up before, and it felt fine. Then when we turned around is where I started having problems. My heart was giving me a hard time and so were my bowels, but the run still ended up being 6:55 ap.Wasn't well rested and dehydrated and I had burger king the night before. This is on the Ragnar route so it's good to know I could average under 7 on a bad day, I feel like if I can get under 7 for my legs than I can hold my own well enough (unless it's like a huge uphill) I need to do more runs like this to get ready though. Beautiful morning. About half an hour later I left with a group of the xc kids plus Chazel and John to Bear Lake to have a killer time before a lot of us parted ways, and we went to Minatonka cave and went to the beach for a while on the first day. Fun times, plus Vickie Krull and a couple of her Wasatch freins joined us!

So I was going to get up and run with Vickie and Mallerie but nobody woke me up so I didn't run in the morning. We headed up to Bloomington Lake but there was too much snow so we just got out and hiked around a bit and had an epic snowball fight lol. It was tiring. Got home and had a solid like 2 hour nap, and then when I got up it was dark and I legit made the decision not to go running but then I realized I might want to do a workout tomorrow and it would better to run so I decided to run and moments like this is what defines you motivation I feel like and I won a mental battle lol. So I took the headlamp and had a nice run that felt pretty good out to Willow Park and then Golf Course Road and back by Woodruff. Splits got faster every mile from 7:49 to 7:00, 7:28 average. During the beginning of the run I thought about the Bear Lake trip and how some of those people I might not see for a long time or maybe ever. I think being graduated is only just starting to sink in, since I still felt like a high schooler. I might to a staple 3 mile tempo tomorrow but I'm kinda thinking a fartlek would be good although not as good of a fitness test.

Today I tried to do an aerobic workout in the heat which never turns out okay. Jogged a 1.5 mile warmup to willow and then to Golf course road, and then started from there to do laps on the river trail, golf course, and park avenue. I was going to do 4x 3 min on, 2 min off, 2 min on, 1 min off, 1 min on, 3 min off, but after two rounds in which I got slower each push I decided to call it quits because I was not feeling smooth and the heat got to me. But at least I pushed through two rounds. Hung out by the restroom at the dog park for about ten minutes to cool off my using the spicket used for hoses, and then headed onto the river trail for a shameful 3.5 miles home (I wasn't in the most convenient place to quit). It was slow and sluggish.

Saw some Vomeros at Ross for $54 last night and I needed new trainers anyways so I bought them. They are neutral shoes and alot like the Pegasus so I think they'll be fine, just a little bit more responsive. I woke up at about 8 and tried to convince my mom to let me drive to Smithfield Canyon and run because it's somewhere new, but that's precisely the reason I couldn't. So I settled for the Logan Canyon. By the time I got there it was almost 10 and verry hot. I hit up the highline trail for the first part because it's actually legal to run on now and then just crossed the highway onto the river trail. Again I wasn't super hydrated for this but didn't feel too bad after a couple miles and was running up the trail at ~7:20 pace. Ran into Mark's dad who was biking and chatted with him a bit. When it was singletrack and it branched I took the upper trail and I felt alright goin up. I hit the top of that ascent, went up a little side trail, observed the canyon like a hippy or something and then headed back down. Wasn't feeling super smooth so I didn't push it too much, but still sub 6:30s. It was just so hot today! Took a few minutes to cool off before I could head home, I was trashed. Average pace around 7:22.
