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.

      I didn't have any work out in mind, but I just started running on the treadmill, and kept pushing myself for the first 3 miles, while Tyson did repeats on the one next to me.  My first mile was in the 5:20s, then the second was in the 5:10s, and the third was around 5:03, but the overall time was 15:40.  I'm not sure if treadmills really are 100% right with how fast they move, or if it was just easier to run on it, or if I really was pushing it.  After I did 3 miles with Tyson in the gym, then 2 miles again on a treadmill(5:17 pace) then 2 miles in the gym, then a mile on the treadmill with a half mile at 5:25 pace.  I felt really good though.

    I did a mile on a treadmill while I waited for Kyler.  It was about a 5:45, but again, it was on a treadmill so I don't know if I can count it.  After I found Kyler running laps in the gym.  We put one warm up mile in, then 2 miles at a pretty good pace.  He said they were around 5:40s or so.  After I ran with him (easy this time) until I was at 7 miles, then I finished the last one on my own.  I felt really good.

      I talked to coach before my workout and got some track workouts I'll do these next two weeks before Simplot.  Then I went on a treadmill and did a 2.5 tempo run at an average of 5:13 pace with the last mile being 5:04.  I feel great that I'm doing these workouts and not hurting a ton, but it must be that the treadmill isn't the same.  I did have a incline 1.5-2% for the whole time, but there is still something wrong with it.  After I did 1.5 miles easy with Ethan on the indoor "track" then 1.5 on the treadmill at 5:10 pace, then 1.5 on the "track" then 1 last mile on a treadmill at 5:00 min. mile pace for a half mile then an easy last half mile.

      4 tempo on a treadmill at 5:24 Average pace.  Then a mile on the indoor track, then an easy one on the treadmill.  During the treadmill workouts I kept alternating 2-2.5% incline, .5 higher than usual.  1 week from Saturday until I race again, and 2 weeks from today until Simplot starts.

     I did 8 miles in the best weather we've had here for a long time.  It was sunny, clear skies, and it was almost up to 40 degrees.  That's 30 more than regular this year!  My run went great, other than stepping in all the cold puddles from the melted snow (it seems we lost a whole foot today!) and being sore from all the treadmill workouts.

     I went easy, but just felt tired and sore.  Not a very good run, but atleast it's over with.
