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.

    Talked to coach, and we decided it'd be best to just take the day off so I don't get burned out later in the season.  I did the sprinter/thrower/hurdler/jumper workout.  We swam a little and did a bunch of upper body.

    Mile warm up, then ran with Joseph for his tempo.  Then I cooled down about a mile and a half.  Coach said I would slowly start get back into running.  I'm ready to get going, but I don't want to be burned out in May or June.

    3ish. Pre-meet.  I'll finally be able to start running hard tomorrow in the dual meet. I think I'll run the 800m all out, not sure on the other events though.

    Tri-meet today. Paced Ethan in 3200m(goal:sub-10:40.  He was 10:39!), and Kyler in the mile(a little worse.  Goal:4:45.  He was 4:50.) Then just wanted to see if I could break 2 min. in the 800m, but that went over like a pregnant high jumper.  2:03, and Alex beat me.  :/ It was weird because it didn't hurt at all.  I just tried to sprint, but couldn't go faster.  Ah well.  Good workout though.

    8 easy with Tyson, then his shin splints were hurting, so I went with Glen.  Only Glen, Wes, Jordan and me actually went over 5 miles.  That shouldn't be how it is. None of them have ran varsity, but they were putting a good effort in. We just need to get our faster kids running more so they can get better at the end of the season.

    5 easy later with Claite.  Tomorrow I think I'll do some tempo and get a good workout in.

     5 miles tempo with 2 mile cool down.  Looks like these easy days helped with my first workout back.  I PR'ed for this course(even though it's supposed to be tempo, I always treat it like more of a time trial), running 25:56 for the 5 miles.  I'm very surprised I ran that fast.  Splits: 4:52.7(downhill.  Average for this mile), 5:30.4(uphill.  Very fast for me on this mile.) 5:15.8 (uphill, then downhill.  Surprised how fast it went.)  4:57.4(downhill.  Fast for this mile.), 5:19.6(uphill.  This is what surprised me.  I usually run 5:35 to 5:50 for this mile in tempo.)  Weather was perfect, so that could be what contributed to the fast time.

      3 miles easy later.  I had a break in the day, and with how great the weather was, I just had to go.
