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.

Was going to run with Strand at 5:50 am under the supermoon but I completely slept through my alarm clock, my bad for staying up too late. So I skipped my morning class (I have work tonight) and ran 8 miles in the area around the golf course, including Black Hawk park. I felt okay. I pushed it on Park Avenue the two times I ran on it to get a CR, but when I really pushed I didn't run the whole thing. Haha oh well it was just like half a mile at 5:30 pace. The left leg was pretty stiff. 7:01 ap.

Parked at Lundstrom after the morning class for a 4 mile threshold, same 2 mile loop that I did the 6 milers on. Warmed up in tights but it was already surprisingly pretty warm! I snagged some Kinvara 7s last night on sale so today was the first time running in them. They were more cushioned than I expected when I tried them on which I liked so that was why I chose them over another pair of Zealots. Warmed up two miles and started. I did not feel very good at all the entire time but just sucked it up and averaged 6:02 pace. The shoes held up nicely, I just was not feeling very springy today. Relatively even splits. Cooled down two miles which included some short hill sprints and strides. Beautiful day again, I know this weather can't last much longer but it's nice while it's here.

Met Ben in Smithfield and we ran both Turkey Trot courses, 5K and 10K. It was a bit cold but not terrible. I didn't feel too great. There is a giant hill on the 5K course which I didn't expect so glad I came here earlier in the week. 7:00 ap.

AM: Fresh snow on the ground! It's great while it's a novelty. Headed out at about 9 and ran 2.5 miles to the dugway and did 6 hills, close to 400m with a jog back around after, whicb was actually quite a bit of rest but whatev, this is a pretty chill workout. The shoes are breaking in nicely.

PM: 3 miles easy in the dark, around the back roads west of my house. Got chased by a couple dogs haha. 7:04 ap.

AM: Turkey Trot race! I'll go right from the start. The races started and it was me and Eric Nelson. We talked a little bit and kinda just chilled while we passed the back of the back 10Kers. Then we turned off and hit the first mile, 5:45, surprisingly slow. We hit the huge hill and I still felt decent and we stayed right next to each other. We finally turned off after a half mile of climbing (which sucked) and it went slightly downhill. I stayed with Eric until right about where we turned west with a mile left and it was wayy downhill, then I got a heart palpatation and got dropped hard. I tried to push it but couldn't get my body to respond. Then with about 300m left James came up behind me and I immediatley turned on the jets and stayed in front of him. I was already sprinting my hardest which felt pretty crazy. Then a sharp turn into the parking lot an I sprinted insanely hard, not knowing that he was actually a bandit and had just kept going. Well that just tells me that I still could have gone harder in the last mile if I really tried and didn't give up mentally. Cooled down about a half mile with James and Eric then I had to leave.

PM: After work I drove to Merlin Olsen and ran 5 miles in the dark (no headlamp) in a loop up Center then I hit the Canal trail and headed back by the temple. 7:38 ap.
