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.

    12 easy miles.  I felt good for the first ten, last two kinda hurt.  I was supposed to go easy, but averaged 6:10s I think(The time when I left was 4:33, and I got back at 4:50 about.)  I tried to apply to run some international races(junior) last night, but the deadline was Dec. 14th, the day of nationals.  I didn't have anything with me that had internet the whole trip.  I was told that it was Dec. 17th, but I didn't know how to apply until Thursday(or that you could), so I'm kinda bummed.

     5 miles at tempo.  My goal was to ease into the tempo, and I kept switching between tempo and easy for today, but I decided on tempo. It felt good, except I took off my hat a mile into it, and had to hold it, and I also felt like I had something in my throat(like a big thing of flegm).  This was caused by the terrible air quality of Cache Valley. 27:08.  Splits: 4:50(downhill, but too fast anyway), 5:50(uphill.  A little slow), 5:25(not flat, but net gain of 0), 5:16(I think. It was downhill.) 5:45(uphill, throat problems started.)  2 miles cool down.

   6 easy with Tyson, Ethan, Alex, and Stockton.  My knee hurt a little.  We ran to Stockton's house, picked him up, then ran to SV, then ran up 6th south, and then back to SV.  Lot's of snow everywhere! Cache Valley finally got hit hard!

    6 miles.  It felt like I was pushing it, but not moving.  The cold felt like it was freezing my legs the whole way.

    10 miles.  Under 70 minutes.  I was planning on some tempo, but the roads were bad, and I just was feeling terrible last night.  I wasn't feeling good at the start of the run, but the last 3 miles felt great.
