Personal:

Served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from July 2015-July 2017. I gained 30 lbs. during the service and came back out of shape; however I knew that if the Lord wanted me to once again run competitively, he would bless me to return to fitness.

I graduated from Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. I currently run for Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Total Distance

10.00

Alright run today. It was a 5 mile tempo. My throat felt like it could never get enough oxygen in it(going from 2500 feet on Saturday back to utah elevation with the worst air quality in the nation changes the amount of oxygen you get per breathe. Welcome to Cache Valley.) and it kept getting stuffed with snot and spit. At the end I stopped my timer, and the next thing I knew I had fallen or slipped or something, because I was 12 feet away from where I stopped my timer, on the ground with a bleeding knee. I washed it out, then went two more miles of cool down. Splits:4:57, 5:41, 5:19, 5:02, 5:37. Good workout to get done.

Later I did some arm workouts to get my arms back into better shape so it doesn't hurt to race a mile. 2nd one(I've always done core) with extra arm workouts. 3 miles after too.

Yep, I remember those terrible Utah winter temperature inversions. You can smell the pollution in the air, and feel it in your nose and throat. When it got so bad that there was an air quality advisory on the news, that's when I ran on the treadmill, as much as I hated the treadmill. Or, if you can get there, you can head up for a mountain run above the smog. Hopefully your air will clear out soon.

Yeah, I mostly try to run above the smog, but I had to run in a lot of it to get back up to an elevation where it wasn't as bad.
