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.

Good run.  I felt pretty good at the start.  Did the first 7 miles progressively harder.  Splits were(from memory)-5:27, 6:00, 6:15, 6:10, 5:26, 5:22, 5:04(fastest mile since I've been back).  The plan was to go the first 8 hard, but I had some small pain in my calves and I didn't want to risk injury.  3 easy mile after.

Nine miles at 6:30 pace. Calves were pretty sore. Hopefully they'll be good by tomorrow.

Calf started hurting more than yesterday during the first mile, so I took it pretty easy.  After that mile, I felt pretty good, but kept it at 8 to keep the risk low.

Ran the canyon, then did 4 strides.  Kept it easy again.  My calf felt good until the downhill, so I think I might need to do some flat runs for the next few days.  It still felt better than the past few days, so that was good.  The strides felt good though.

Ran to Sky View, then tried to do a portion of a workout(as well as at a pace that seemed reasonable for me) that the team did a few days ago.  I did 2 miles at 5:15 pace, then 4 minutes rest, then I did another 2 miles at 5:14 pace.  Cooled down around the track a bit before running home.  I think it was good, but I'm not sure what to compare it to.  It didn't seem too hard, and now looking back at it, I probably should've tried to go a bit faster(I just told myself that 5:20 would be a good pace to go).  I may run a bit later tonight.

Congrats to everyone who ran the TOU half today, I was cheering for a bit of it.  After I ran 13 miles in the afternoon. About 6:25 pace.  First four miles were at 7 min. pace, then I decided to start speeding it up, and then my last few miles were a push.  After I was pretty tired, I think it might have been a bit too far for me right now, but I didn't have any pain, just a lot of fatique.
