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- A medium run with the XC team.  We didn't go too hard.  I could feel the half in my legs kinda, but nothing hurt as much as Utah Valley or Blacksmith Fork runs.  We sped up at one part, which felt great to do.  I'm probably going to take some time off soon though.

     I haven't had a good hard tempo run for a while.  Maybe since a week before the Utah Valley even.  5 mile tempo, at faster than what I ran for the half on Saturday.  I whose my Garmin and my miles were: 5:04(downhill) 5:36 (slight uphill) 5:38 (up then down) 5:22(slight downhill.  Faster than usual for that mile)  6:20 (uphill).  I then went for a cool down.  During the last mile and the cool down my achelias hurt a bit, so I definately will be taking a few days easy starting Thursday or Friday.

    XC-4 workout on the track.  Working on sprints, for 70m with 130 in between.  Trying to evaluate our form with sprints.  Did that for around 10 times with a cool down, then we did some 300m sprints.  I didn't run either of these that fast, or atleast I didn't feel like I could.  With the 300, my first 100 was slow, and then I would pass anyone running between the 100-200 mark, and would then end up dying the last 100.  

     PM-5.  I didn't know if I was going to be able to run tomorrow, so I did a run.  I did a mile and my right achilles started hurting.  GREAT, just what I needed.  I looked up and tried to find why and ways to stay away from hurting it more.  I found that in the last few months since the middle of the track season I've been running on my mid-foot to my toe, instead of running heel first.  That's just one theory though.  Others I have is I've been putting more mileage and more racing in this summer.  I'll probably take a few days off running and try some cross training, like swimming or something else.
