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.

   Great weather(36 degrees when I left, and 40 when I got home!), other than a little snow on the ground for about a mile of the run.  I did my regular 5 mile tempo run, with 2 miles cool down. I felt surprisingly really good today, but it still hurt to run this fast. Splits: 4:50.5,  5:36.8, 5:06.9(I might've pushed the split button early on this one, making this one shorter and the next longer), 5:05.4, 5:30.9.  Great run for me, my times matched the hills pretty well. 

   3 easy miles in the dark.  Still surprisingly warm 36 degrees. I felt great, other than I had too much food in my stomache.

     I only had an hour after school to run, so Ethan, Tyson, and I made it a quicker long run.  Tyson turned around early(he wasn't going long), and Ethan did a small break while I kept running.  I ended up with a little over 9 for the hour and Ethan was around 8.5.  Last 4 miles were in 25 minutes, which is faster than it should've been.

    3 miles easy.  Great weather on both runs.

     Golf Course extended with a group this time, and then a little less than a mile with Ethan to bring it up to 6.

      I was going to try and go down to the BYU indoor meet, but I seem to have caught a bug and have a sore throat and have been sneezing a bunch.

    Not the best today. I still felt sick. 1.5 mile warm up, then a 5k in 15:42, then 1 mile easy, then 1 mile in 5:00, then 1.5 mile cool down with Kyler.  The 5k felt like it was killing me.  I was going to do 1 more mile at 5:00, but I just didn't have it.  It's either the sickness or the little sleep I've gotten these last few days from having to do a lot of assignments.

     Was going to go twelve, but my legs were struggling, and I turned around just a tiny bit early because I saw lots of cars parked up near the top of the canyon, and I wasn't sure if they were hunting or what, so I just turned around a little early.  My body was just really tired, not like tired from workouts, but tired from not getting enough sleep these past nights.
