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.

11 miles. Did the workout of 3x2 mile. Did the first one on the track in 10:06(goal was 9:50), then took a long break to find the bathroom and motivation, then ran the next on the road in 10:19, then the last in 9:50. 

4 miles hiking around some old Native American ruins. It was really interesting to see these and imagine how they’ve lived.

Ran to my uncles house, then ran up blue mountain road for about 5 miles, then back. I think I went 5:50 pace down the road, not because I was pushing it, but it was just a really steep road.  The altitude is killing me though, I think I ran up at 8300 feet today.

Fartlek today. I’m pretty tired from the altitude and hiking we’ve been doing, but we are driving home today, so at least I’ll be back for the long run.  I did the 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 fartlek. I gave a good effort, but my paces were pretty slow. The ten minute one was uphill and that added into it, but it was just tough running at over 7000 feet. At least the run was pretty.

Long run today. Being back in Cache Valley was nice. The altitude difference felt huge. I ran with JD and Jim from Utah State’s team. We kept a pretty even pace around 6 minute miles, and sped it up after we turned around. Little bit of coughing, but it’s improving. Fun run, it was good yo hear about the team here and how they’re doing. 1:21 for the run.
