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.

     Rough day.  I planned on tempo, but as soon as I started I had a lot of trouble breathing.  The cough I've had for about three weeks hasn't gotten better.  It might just be the bad air, but that's never bothered me before. After a third a mile I stopped and dry heaved for a bit before starting out again slow.  Had to stop a few times to cough.  Hopefully tomorrow is better. The weather was wonderful.

     1.5 mile warm up, then 4Xmile with 1 min. break at goal effort/pace for the 8K.  I planned to do 5, but then had to stop and use the bathroom after the fourth.  After that I did the fifth.  Average was around 4:54, so that was great, but my cough was awful.  It just keeps getting worse, and I have a really bad stuffy nose so I can't breathe well either.  I started dry heaving after the first repeat, and after that I knew it was going to be a rough day.  After the fourth I dry heaved for a long time. Atleast it's over now. 1 mile cool down.

     3 miles later.

     8 miles all on grass.  My cough/sickness/whatever it is is awful.  I go into these insane coughing fits when I even go 6:30 pace.  I can't breathe.  I had to stop a few times because I almost fell over and needed to hold something to keep me up.

      8 miles easy.  Coughing was awful. I just don't get why.  We talked to a doctor and he did a stethoscope and said there wasn't anything wrong with my lungs(no fluid in them), so it must just be a bug.  It's been over 2 weeks and it is still getting worse.  I wanted to do a workout today, but I can't even start one.  I'll get one in tomorrow though.

      Another rough day. I tried a workout for a bit, but I want to get better from being sick, so I kept it easy after one 800m.  I just don't get why it's getting worse.  Today was better than yesterday.  I ran with Ethan for six miles and I almost threw up about a mile into it.  It sounded and felt like it.  Not a good feeling.  Ethan is sick too, but he'll still probably run a PR tomorrow.

     I'm getting better, but still had to stop after a minute of a workout because I couldn't stop coughing.
