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

6.00

Didn't know what type of workout I was going to do, but was thinking of a 5 mile tempo run. I go outside and start stretching and then I feel my thighs sore from yesterday. (I was at get air jumping for two hours. More of a workout then I thought.) I then decided just to do it. For the first half mile I felt good, but then the next half I got a side ache, and my thighs were hurting. This is the easiest, fastest part of my run usually. Next mile I didn't feel too good either, but then I saw Tyler and Nick, and remembered how I was going to go running with them, but I wanted to do some speedwork, so that made me a bit mad that I couldn't do either. Then at mile2 my side ache was gone, and so I timed the next three miles. My first mile was a 5:45, a bit slower than usual for the first. The next was downhill, and so I ran a 5:30, and then the next was going to be slower, just to get me at 6 min pace. I felt good and pushed this mile, running it in 5:35. This is probably the fastest I've ran this mile, because of its hill and all. I then did a mile cool down with my dog.
