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.

   1.4 mile warm up, then 10X200m with 200m jog recovery. Goal was 30-31.  Splits: 27, 29, 30(I actually missed it, but here's a guess) 29, 29, 29, 29, 28, 29, 28.  Then 3.1 mile cool down.  It was track tryouts today, but coach Walker let me be off the hook.  I then went another mile with Ethan, Glen, Stockton and Tyson, then 2 miles when I got home.  Interesting to see tryouts.  Tyson just randomly threw out a 53 in his trainers, I'm excited to see what he'll do in the 800m this year.

    5 miles tempo.  Averaged 5:19. went too fast at start, and felt yesterday's workout later.  Good to get this workout in.  2 cool down.

   3 later

     Went a little over 6 slow by myself. I didn't feel to great.  Just really tired in the legs and sore.  Then I saw Alex was doing the pacer for tryouts, so I did it with him.  At 55 or something, it was just four of us who had done XC before.  We just decided to quit at 59, but I had to beat Alex so I did 60.

     5 easy miles.  I had a workout planned, but when I started running my left hamstring started to hurt.  Better play it safe than sorry.  It also rained a lot, so it made it feel really cold.  But rain. . . .in February? Crazy

   Just guessing on distance, but it's around 7.5-8 I think.  I ran to SV and did 1200, 1000, 800, then 300m sprint. Everything was supposed to be 3200m race pace.  I was slow, but it was really windy and I just was trying to be cautious about the hamstring.  Not that bad of a workout though.  3:27, 2:52ish(maybe 2:51), and then 2:15(maybe 2:14.  Last lap was too fast.).  I didn't time the 300m at all, but just sprinted it. It's hard to push your sprint when you're alone and have no watch. It's easy to just say, "oh I must be sprinting, this hurts a little," but when you're really not going that fast.

    AM- 6 miles at a fun easy pace.  Felt good, kinda fast but also kinda slow.  Found out I only had an hour to go run, shower, and then go to Logan, so I limited the long run to two runs.

    PM- 7.25 miles easy.  I got another run in.  It felt good, slower than the first, but good.
