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.

6 miles in 36:17.  Nice run.  It's feeling easier and easier as time goes on.  It took a while to get into a rythem, but after the first mile it went well.

An interesting thing, is since I left to serve in Ghana, I haven't listened to music while running.  I always made it a point to run with a friend or with music before, but I don't think I need it anymore.

A bit over 30 minutes(whoops).  I ran with the high school team.  They ended up doing tempo, so I just ran with a couple of guys for the 3 miles.  They said our pace was about 5:40-45 on the tempo.  Cool down after with 8 strides at the end.

Today wasn't great.  I felt a bit tired from the past few days, so I just took it easier.  32 minutes for the first 5 miles, then 3 minutes quick to finish it out. Lots of rain and I was soaked about half way through.

Ran with the team again.  We went through a warm up, stretched, did strides, then the team did a mile and I watched, then I cooled down with a few of the guys and Claire.  Small quad pain.

35 minutes.  Felt super tight in my hamstrings and quads.  I think it was from the strides.  I kept it at 6:30ish for the first 2.1, then after things started to loosen up and kept it around 6:00-6:10.

Good day.  I'm trying to get a good sleep schedule, but last night I stayed up fairly late, so when I woke up at 6:30 to get ready, I was super tired.  First mile was just waking up, then after I was able get in a good groove.  45 minutes overall.  It was somewhere between 7.1-7.2 in distance.  No hamstring pain, but my quad felt like yesterday.  It will be good to have Sunday off. 

Looking back on this week, I ran more than last week, but it wasn't as fast as last week.  I'll still take it as a good week though, as it's a build phase.
