I am back.  Today I went for my first run post mission.  I hadn't run for a long time due to a severe plantar faciaitis that have had since last september.  I have gotten some physical therapy and it has been feeling pretty good.  So me and preston up here at Utah State went out and ran a bit just on campus.  I felt pretty good.  my heel maybe feels a slight ache right now, but no pain so thats super cool.

Ran over to the field house and legs felt good after some days of not running. So I did a time trial 300m in preparation for the winter showdown. Dropped a 39.85. My last 100 felt really slow my legs felt really heavy. And it was cause Preston clocked my 200 at 24. Happy with it, especially since I've done 0 hard running for 2 and a half years.

Today was the big day. The winter showdown 2018. Got in a mile warmup then dropped a 37.81 to walk away with bragging rights son. My goal was sub 37 but I'm happy with the victory, especially with a bum foot and 2 months of off and on training and 25 more pounds on my body than my high school race weight.
