Long-Term Running Goals:

Make sure I have fun, not get burned out, and get faster.

School records in the 5km and 10km.  

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.

      Warmed up and planned on doing a faster 5k tempo today, but after my first 400m I wasn't feeling that great.  I hit it at about 1:11, so after the next half a lap I decided to just run a mile and then see how I feel.  Well, I slowly sped it up and hit 2:19 at 800m, then just slowly bumped up the pace a bit and finished the mile in 4:30. After the high school band took up the track, so I did 2X200s until the got onto the field. Both were in 28 and felt pretty relaxed.  Then I did and 800m and 400m.  The 800 was originally going to be another mile at hopefully the same pace, but it hurt and I knew I went out to fast so I stopped it at 800m in 2:04.  The 400m felt surprisingly relaxed and hit every 100m in about the same time and ended in 56.  Cool down after and then 5 miles when I got home. Kinda a strange/spontanious workout that I changed every repeat, but I felt worked.

Nice adjustment.

Thanks Murphy!

Nice workout after a shaky start, Conner. Nice finish with that 56. If you could put together a really nice last 400 like that, you'd be incredibly tough to beat. As I told you, my wife and I plan to go to Brooks. If we get a chance, we might say hello. Again, good luck!

Thanks Shawn, and that would be great to meet you and your family. My mom and brother might come up too.

Last year I passed right by you as you were getting ready to warm up. You looked pretty focused, so I didn't say hello. We'll say hi if we get a good opportunity, but don't want to intrude on an athlete's pre-race preparations. I know how it is, and respect that. Good luck. Give it everything, as you always do, especially since you'll be going on your mission soon.
