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.

    4 miles (3 miles uphill, 1 downhil) in 23:15.   a third a mile easy.  4 miles (3 downhill, 1 uphill)- sub-22.  My timer didn't start, and I didn't notice until the first mile mark.  I really pushed it that first mile though, and it was really downhill so I'm saying at the slowest I did a 5:40.  the 3 other miles together were 16:18.  1 mile cool down.   It feels good to get a hard work out over with.  I know I was supposed to have a break this week, but my wisdom teeth appointment got moved for a week or two later.  That's when I'll take my break though.

I was going to suggest you take a little break. Even if you feel good physically, it's important to have some downtime for a mental re-charge.

I agree, I just don't want to take a break, then take another one in a week or two.

Good thinking - plan it around when you would have to take some time off anyway.

Michael - your running career is probably over now. You need to try out for the school play in the spring or something. :)

You're right. will you ask Kramer if he'll give me some singing lessons? I heard he was pretty good.

Mike doesn't have the look for the stage. He needs more of a radio type of gig!
