Long-Term Running Goals:

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.

5 maybe. Not sure about the distance. Went with Tyler, Kyler, and Tyson. It was really cold. It was around 4 degrees. Tomorrow I might start with my speed work as in more tempo runs.

be careful with hard workouts on these red air days Conner. my rule is stay inside (treadmill or indoor track) if the pm2.5 goes over 30 or so:

Conner,

Hi. By now, you must have figured out that I am catching up on your blog. Indoor track is the better option in my opinion although I have never been on an indoor track!! Gotta beat the treadmill though. "red air" days. Not familiar with that at all. And an air quality website for Utah??? I think I have more research to do!

From PRE on Thu, Jan 03, 2013 at 18:22:50 from 99.50.213.11

Did a little research. Various ranges outlined.

35.5 - 55.4 µg/m3

"Unhealthy for

Sensitive People"

Sensitive people...hmmmmmmmmmm

Conner man, your brave. There is now way I would have ran in the temperature it was/is outside. The Indoor track at the Nelson Fieldhouse at USU is where I'll be doing most my running from now on and sadly treadmills.

From Conner Mantz on Thu, Jan 03, 2013 at 19:49:26 from 65.130.231.105

I think I will try to get into the indoor track soon, especially because of the air. I'm not too on top of that stuff.

Luis, how do you get a pass to the Nelson Field house? Or do you not need one?

From Luis Vidal on Thu, Jan 03, 2013 at 20:30:58 from 174.27.167.253

I gave them a call and they say they charge 8 dollars for a day pass, might just be worth it haha.

You can almost always sneak into those places Conner.

Not sure if it was responsible of me to suggest that. Don't tell your dad.

From Conner Mantz on Fri, Jan 04, 2013 at 16:33:00 from 65.130.231.105

Luis, do you know if they have any monthly or seasonal passes?

From Luis Vidal on Fri, Jan 04, 2013 at 16:56:24 from 174.27.167.253

They don't. But eight laps for a mile sure beats thirteen at the school or sports academy.
