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

15.00

15 miles in St. George. More coughing than usual and I had to stop running about 4 or 5 times until I stopped coughing. My throat felt so sore after. I talked to another doctor that is a family friend and he recommended an antibiotic. Hopefully it works because my throat hurts so much and makes running so miserable. One good part of the run was where I got to run with Collin from the blog.

Good luck getting better, that cough has got to be nasty!

You must have amazing resistance to illness, Conner. Even when I was your age and in excellent condition, if I ran 15 miles while feeling like that, I'd be bedridden for a week. I was going to suggest that maybe your cough was aggravated by one of those temperature inversions that hold in the smog from Ogden down through Provo so often in the winter, but a sore throat suggests an infection. Still, you're used to running in Smithfield, and the Logan/Smithfield area has much better air in the winter than what you get all along the Wasatch Front. Anyway, I sure hope you get better soon . . .

Conner, make sure it's not mononucleosis. When I was a year older than you are now, I got a sore throat and a cough that just wouldn't go away. Our family doctor prescribed antibiotics. It just got worse and worse until I finally decided I better go see another doctor. The second doctor ran a test and said it was mononucleosis, which is a virus, not a bacteria. The antibiotics hadn't helped, and in fact had hurt. I was soon hospitalized an put on an I.V. and steroid anti-inflammatories, which, after a few days, worked. You probably don't have mononucleosis, but you might want to be sure if the antibiotics don't work. Not to sound like a know-it-all, but as the Farmers Insurance commercial says, we old runners "know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two." Get well soon.
