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.

AM-5 easy miles inside due to air quality. 

PM-6 mile tempo.  While the air quality was better than this morning, it was really hot.  Either 90 degrees or just under.  I could feel my shoes getting pretty hot.  We ran in trainers instead of flats.  Goal was 5:05 for the first 3 miles and then see what happened.  We started out at about 5:08-09 for the first three miles.  Clayton and I ran together for the majority of the workout. I was hoping to go under 30 minutes, but due to the heat it just didn't happen. Not sure on the 4th and 6th mile, but our fifth was 4:58.  We had a big group at 3 miles, but after that it spread out quite a bit.  Overall time was 30:35.  It was a tough workout, probably tougher than the race last weekend. Weights after.

AM-4.1 miles

PM-Michigan workout.  3 miles warm up/strides, then track mile: 4:32, grass mile:5:00, track 1200:3:25, grass mile: 4:55, track 800: 2:15, grass mile: 4:53, track 400: 61, grass mile: 4:45.  A bit faster on the grass miles than when I did this in the spring, but a bit slower on the track.  60-90 seconds rest between grass/track.  I felt really good today, never had any thoughts of wondering if I could finish this workout. The 400m felt super relaxed, so that's good to see I still have some easy speed in me.  The last grass mile was probably our most impressive.  3 miles cool down.  Jog in between intervals.
