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.

AM-4 easy miles

PM-Michigan workout.  It was pretty tough, as expected.  However, I remember hurting more the last time we did this, so that's a good sign.  Mile on the track was 4:27; however, our last 800m was in 2:10-11, so that made it hurt quite a bit more. First mile on grass was in 5:03.  It's very different switching from 4:20 pace to 5:00 pace.  It makes 5 min. pace seem foreign because it still takes a considerable amount of energy, but not near as much as 4:20 pace.  1200m was 3:18.  Next mile was 5:03 again.  800m was 2:11. Next mile was 4:56.  400m was in 60 (went out in 31-32, then closed fast), last mile was in 4:49 for me.  During the last grass mile I was behind Clayton Young and Connor McMillan and trying to hang on.  I kept telling myself that these guys were all-americans in track, and that if I could just hang on to them, I might be able to be an all-american this year.  Sadly they dropped me still, but it's still cool to do workouts with guys that are so good.

Long run today.  I felt pretty good, felt relaxed the whole way.  5:52 pace per mile. Pretty tired now, but it's been a good week.
