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.

   12 long and slow.  Mentally felt destroyed, I really wanted to make the USA team for the BUPA race last month, but missed the application date by 1 day, and then after New Balance, not making the mile by 1 place.  Just feels hard to stay positive.  Physically my body is recovering well from the races last Saturday.

   Alright run today.  It was a 5 mile tempo.  My throat felt like it could never get enough oxygen in it(going from 2500 feet on Saturday back to utah elevation with the worst air quality in the nation changes the amount of oxygen you get per breathe. Welcome to Cache Valley.) and it kept getting stuffed with snot and spit.  At the end I stopped my timer, and the next thing I knew I had fallen or slipped or something, because I was 12 feet away from where I stopped my timer, on the ground with a bleeding knee. I washed it out, then went two more miles of cool down. Splits:4:57, 5:41, 5:19, 5:02, 5:37.   Good workout to get done.

   Later I did some arm workouts to get my arms back into better shape so it doesn't hurt to race a mile.  2nd one(I've always done core) with extra arm workouts.  3 miles after too.

    Around 6 miles.  Slow, but didn't feel easy.  I went with Kyler and Tyson until they did their hill repeats, and then I ran a little more up the canyon, then came back after they were done.  My legs and body are so tired.  I need more sleep and recovery time.

    9 miles.  I was planning on a hard workout(tempo!), but was too sore, so I'm puting it off.  We averaged 6:47.  It was 38 degrees, but not sunny.  I wore a jacket, and it was not a good idea.

     5 miles at tempoish.  Averaged anywhere from 5:22-5:30, depending on my first mile(which is usually sub-5 because it drops a ton of elevation, but could've been anywhere from 4:50 to 5:20 today).  I missed pressing start at the start of the tempo, and didn't realize it until the 2nd mile. 22:00 for the last 4 miles.  1 mile cool down, then 4 more miles to get in some extra miles.

    8 miles up the canyon.  Pretty sore from yesterday, but it was still a nice run.  I might go more later, depending on my schedule. 

    5 later with Claire.  Easy, but I hurt.  My stomache and legs hurt, but mostly my stomache.  It didn't feel good at all.  Also, word of advice to anyone, if you have a high school dance that you're really excited for, don't run 13 miles on that day before the dance.  Your legs will be tired, and if your stomache hurt on the run, it might not feel good at the dance.
