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-6.5 miles alone.  

PM-My watch said 13, Jake's watch said 12.8, so I went with that.  It was cold and I underdressed.  Turned around early with Jake and Brayden and ran grass loops with Clayton.

AM-6 miles with Michael, Talem, Josh, and Jake.  It was great having Josh with us again, ever since he moved we don't run with him much. 

PM-Cold workout.  We did mile, 1200m, 800m, 2x400m at 4:41, 3:25, 2:12, 60, 59.  It was really windy, and we were out at Intramurla field.  During the mile, I'd run the 400s with the wind in 67, and the ones against the wind in 73.  Felt warmed up by the 800m, but didn't feel the spring in my legs as much as usual.

AM-Fun race, I'll write more later.

2.5 warm up, strides, then the race started.  It was a pretty small field, and they had the starter on a ladder about 50 meters from the line, so I was more concerned with avoiding the starter than getting out well.  We got out well as a team, but it wasn't super important with such a small field.  The course had lots of turns, so I just ran on the inside where I could.  It was pretty flat, so I just let myself get into a rythem.  The goal was to wait until 4k, and then start stringing the race out, and then push the last 2k if need be.  I led a little in the first 2k, then the next 2k I sat behind a couple Portland guys.  I could tell they were annoyed that our whole time was just sitting on them, but that's how it goes sometimes.  At 3.5k, Zac took the lead.  At 4k, I took it and started a push to string things out.  At 5.5k, it was just Jake, myself and Kipruto from Portland.  At 6k, it was just Jake and I.  I kept the pace pretty consistent, and tried to get Jake to run with me.  I wanted Jake to fight for the win with me, or try and cross together if we could, but he wasn't feeling the greatest.  I maintained a small lead the rest of the way, motioning Jake to catch up.  At the last 100m, I sprinted it in.  Not my usual racing style, but it was good enough for the day.  Short cool down after due to interviews.  

PM-8.5 miles with Michael. Talem and Matt were with us for 2.
