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.

.5 mile warm up, then 5 mile tempo.  I wore a garmin for the first time in a long time it feels like. My calves and lungs hurt, but it was a good workout.  1.5 miles cool down.  Splits:4:57, 5:31, 5:25, 5:16, 5:16.  26:25 overall, 5:17 average.  I mainly just tried to avoid the snow for the run.

   Easy long today.  My legs felt ready to run fast, but still sore.

   6 miles easy alone. It was cold, but I only saw 6 cars driving, so I ran in the middle of the road for a lot of it. My right knee had some pain from when I slipped yesterday.  Other than that it was good. When I got home, my sister was doing her cool down, so I ran a mile with her and my dad.  Also, Merry Christmas!

    8 easy.  I was planning on tempo, but after the first 200m, my knee pain came back.  Dang it! It hurt the rest of the run, but felt better as the run went on.  I might try some tempo tomorrow if the knee feels good.  I have 2 theories for the pain. 1. I slipped on ice quite a bit the other day, and it may have been aggrivated from that. (or) 2. Maybe the shoes I have aren't as good as the ones I had last year and don't last over 1000 miles and still work.  Maybe these work for 500 miles.  One pair is Nike and one is Asics.  Last year I had two Asics 1160s.  This year in August I got one Asics 1170, which is different than the 1160, and a pair of Nike Structures, which are lighter and were very easy to break in(I did a track workout the day after I got them), but I don't think they last as long.

   10 slow, my legs wanted to go fast, but I had some knee pain again.  It only hurt when I went faster than 7 min. miles.  I hate not being able to run tempo.  Tomorrow hopefully, and if not, Monday.

6 easy. My body feels ready to run fast, but I need to let my knee heal a bit.  It hurt once or twice the whole run, but my hip on the other side started hurting because I fell asleep in a weird position in the car.
