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.

     Easy premeet again.  First in-state invite for me this year tomorrow.  Legs were very tired, especially from the car ride yesterday.  14 hours in a car sucks, but 14 hours after a hard 3200m is even worse.

    Hard day today.  We had the Cache-Box invite.  I was fresher than yesterday, but still pretty tired.  I was planning on gettinng a 9:40 in the 3200m as a workout, but not all out race, then trying to get qualified in the 1600m.  Well I realized it was a lot harder to run a 9:40.  Anyway, I was planning on pacing a 4:50 first mile and just trying to keep the pace, but that didn't go well.  My first 200m was a 31, so I slowed down quite a bit.  Splits were everywhere, so I didn't keep note, other than the mile was 4:45.  JD from Mountain Crest was behind me for the first mile before falling off pace.  After I cooled down/warmed up for the mile.  After the cool down I got on my spikes, then stretched and then we started.  I didn't have enough energy to get the 4:24 I wanted, so I just sat for the first 600m, and then kicked.  400m was 1:10, 800m was 2:17, 1200m was 3:22, 1600m was 4:27-28.  Cooled down after.

     8 easy after pool workout.  Legs are coming back, but the rest of my body still feels tired.  Hard to just run.

     We had a workout to get us back into it a little. It was a progressive tempo, but I struggled.  4 miles, first at 5:25 then 5:15, then two 5:05s to finish.  Well, that was the plan, but I just didn't have it much today.  5:27, then 5:10, then 5:15, and 5:10.  10 and 5 seconds slow on the last two.  I should've pushed it and gotten the times.  I think the lack of energy lately is from lack of sleep.  I've gone to bed early than usual, but sit in my bed for an hour or two, and sometimes 3, trying to sleep.

    Pre-meet.  I wanted to go more, but had an assignment and got caught up with friends.  It's alright though, I need to qualify for state in the 1600m.

3200m-9:26  Got there feeling pretty good.  Wanted to hold back in the 3200m and save it for the 1600m.  I wanted to still be sub-9:30 though, just so if I didn't do well in the 1600m, I could feel like I had one decent race.  I started out strong, first 400m was 1:10, next was 1:10, then things started to head downhill.  1:13, 1:12, 1:12, 1:12, then I started to speed it up 1:09,1:08.  I felt good afterward.  Cooled down then almost immediately wamed back up for the 1600m.

1600m-4:22. This race had better competition.  My teamate Alex was planning on qualifying for state(4:24), but his PR was only a 4:38 prior to this race. I also needed to qualify, so I went out super strong.  1:01.5, then I slowed 1:06.5.  I slowed way too much on the third lap 1:08, and was able to finish just quick enough to qualify(1:06).  Alex ended up 4:25-26 in second.  He started to catch me on the last lap, running his last 100m in sub-15.  

Ran in the afternoon to bring it up to 13 for the day.
