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.

      XC-6.2 We did sunnyside, and it was easy besides for a small bit of tempo that Kyler, Tyson, and I did. 

      PM- 5 easy on my own.  It felt really hot, but when I got home it was only 77 degrees.  My first two miles were way too fast, and I averaged sub-6 min. mile pace for them. I later could feel it in my legs.

       800m warm up, then I tried to pace my sister for a sub-6 min. mile.  She ran too fast at first, and too slow for her 3rd lap, but she ended up at 6:02, which is a PR for her.After I started my workout of 4X1600 at sub-5 min. mile pace, with 3 min. recovery jog inbetween.  My first two felt great, (4:52, 4:49) but on the jog after my second my calves started hurting like they did in the 15k.  I did one more (4:57) before deciding it might be best to pull the plug.  I think I could've hit two more, but my calves weren't feeling the best and I want to make sure I don't get injured.  After I ran on some easy grass miles to finish the run up.

      XC-6 We did a track workout today, and it felt pretty easy.  It was 6X600m at I pace with 200m jog recovery. I was supposed to be 1:45, but I think I was fast almost every time. I didn't have my watch, so I would give Tyson and Kyler 50 meters or 8-10 seconds head start before I would go(they were running them in 1:54) and then I would catch them in the last 200m or so.  It felt good, the last two hurt, but it wasn't too bad.  On the last one I tried to catch up to them, but Tyson went really hard for his last 200m and I wasn't able to catch him.  1 mile warm up, 2 cool down. 

      PM-3 easy.  I thought it might be best to do one the runs planned for tomorrow today.

6 "easy" miles.  I ran up the canyon pretty slow, but it didn't feel easy at all.  My legs are sore from this higher mileage I've been trying to get.

       5 mile tempo, with 2 mile cool down.  I did the 5 miles in 27:05.  My splits were: 5:05(downhill), 5:48 (uphill), 5:22(uphill, then downhill), 5:12 (downhill), 5:36(uphill).  I felt better than I thought I would for this run.  I was thinking that the higher mileage would make me run slower, but it doesn't look like it did.  I kept thinking that some of the other people in 4A weren't doing this workout, and weren't hurting as much as I was.

     Today I did 10 miles with my dad up Smithfield Canyon and back.  I think we averaged 7:20 min. miles, so that was good.  It felt pretty easy the whole time, so I'm excited to see how the XC season will go.
