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.

PM-5 mike tempo with last mile at fast finish. Splits were either 5:00 or just a couple seconds faster, then my last mile was 4:36-37 I think. It felt good and my time was around 24:30 so it was a good workout overall. It helped me visualize regionals.

AM-Fast finish 800s. Due to the state meet, we worked out on Provo High School's track.  The 800s were supposed to have the first 400m at 65, then the next at 60.  They first one had splits of 65, 57.  The next one was 64, 59, and the final one I went 66, 60.  I kinda got dropped by the top guys no the last one, but I was with them for hte first two.  At the start of the last one, one of our guys was tying his shoes or something, and then coach said go.  I expected him to call us back, so I didn't start out for nearly a second.  After about 130m I caught back up to the guys.  At the start of the home strech, they started speeding it up on the first lap. On the second lap I just gave it all I had and told myself to just hold the speed I could, and see if I could still run a 62.  I was happy to run a 60 on it.  Fun workout.  Looking forward to regionals, especially with this added confidence. After I watched some of the races at the statemeet and saw fellow blogger Ryan Raff break my 3200m 4A record, running 8:54! 

PM-3 easy miles.

12 mile long run.  Felt pretty good and relaxed.  I actually had energy to be productive for the rest of the day, so this long run didn't take much out of me.
