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.

      AM-5 easy.  WAY slower than I wanted to have them, and for a long while I could smell skunk.

     PM- 6 track workout. 1.5 miles warm up. We did 8X200m at our R-pace.  I was supposed to hit a 31, and I was right on every time.  We did an easy 200m in between.  I felt great for this first part.  Then we did an 800m (with a tiny bit more of recovery.  200m, just we walked the first 100m)  and I was supposed to hit a 2:08, but I just couldn't get it done.  I ran a 2:16, which is 8 seconds slow, but I think the reason I went slow was because of all the people just bearly came out onto the track and I tried to pass someone and they just kept cutting me off.  After 2 miles cool down.

    Track Practice- 7 miles.   1.5 warm up, then 6X1000m repeats with 1 minute break in between.  They were supposed to be at tempo pace(5:09 pace) but mine were anywhere from 12 to 5 seconds fast.  I felt great, it was really warm and sunny, so that felt good.  After we did a good cool down, then we did some hip and ab workouts.

       We had the Blue-and-White meet today, and I wasn't sure how much I was going to push it.  We did a bit of warm ups, but then Kyler and I warmed up during the 3200, and then did a little more before the 1600.  I felt great during the 1600, my 800m split was 2:12, and then I just kept a good pace and finished at 4:27.  I then ran the 800m later for the second time ever in a 800m race, and ran around a 2:05-:06.  My first 400m was 1:01, but after I just thought I had a PR(2:05) in the bag and slowed down a bit.  Not the smartest move, but thats how it ended.  After I went home and did 4 easy to get the 8 miles in for the day.

      I felt good.  Had a good warm up, and went slower the first mile(5:30ish), because it was uphill then went fast on the downhill for the second mile(5:00, but the miles markers may have been off for these two miles)  And then I just finished the race and crossed the line at 16:22.  Zan was second, and Luis was 3rd.  It felt good to be running a local 5k again.  After I did over 3 miles, but I walked some with my dad and little brother.  The weather was amazing, around 50 degrees at the end.  Crazy how a month ago I was still running with two shirts, tights, a hat, and gloves.
