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.

     Track workout first, then we went to our own event workouts.  30 sec. faster than race pace, 30 sec easy jog for 30 minutes.  Went with Alex on his long run for my run.  Did a long cool down after.

     Did some more speed work.  Sprints on the "terrible triangle."  The workout wasn't too hard at first, so me and Wes added another sprint in it.  I felt pretty good, but I don't think I went that fast compared to how I usually do.  Then we did a half mile cool down.

       There was a duel meet today.  I did the mile first.  I tried to average a good pace, and then finish well at the end.  After the first lap at 1:09, I decided to get a 1:10 average.  My splits were 1:09, 1:11, 1:11, 1:07.  Had fun with it and I felt amazing.  I didn't use my spikes, so hopefully I'll feel better on Saturday adn will finally qualify.  I then ran the 400, did good for me.  I had a bunch of fun with that, while Chicky (Cardon Porter) ran it for the first actual time in high school, and he got a 52.  I think I was a few seconds behind him, so I probably got a 57 or something like that.  I then did the medly with some freshman.  I ran the 800, and got a PR.  The people who timed it said it was around a 2:03 or 2:02.  We almost won it against the Jr/Sr team.  AJ ran their 800, and didn't look like he was pushing it too bad.  I almost caught him at the end.

     Went easy for this pre-meet.  I'm hoping to get qualified in the mile.  I know it's a stretch, 6 seconds, but I think I can do it.

      I wasn't going to push the 2 mile today, but then I just felt too good, and with this wonderful weather, it was such a great oppurtunity to pass up.  I wanted to get the school record, which I missed by .39 seconds last week.  I ran the first lap feeling amazing.  1:05.  I thought it was a bit fast at first, but I kept going.  2:16.  I still felt great.  3:28.  Keep it coming.  4:39.  This is where I started dying.  5:52, not near what I wanted.  7:05 , I'm slowing down, I need to push this last 800. 8:18.  Crap I'm in trouble.  I ended with a 9:28.6 I heard at first, but then the official time was 9:29.0.  Less than a second better than last week, but I got the school record.  I think I may have gone out too fast, but boy did I feel good.  I later did the mile also, which I wasn't ready for.  I had maybe an hour at most of rest between.  I had a headache before it, but it was gone after the mile.  I ran the mile in 4:33, so same as last week.  I didn't get a good start, and I never caught up to Tyler or Adam.  They were just too far ahead.  Tyler got a 4:27.73, and Adam got a 4:30.  I kinda felt bad for Tyler, because he wanted to qualify, it was his birthday also, but he missed it by .03 seconds.  If only he would've stuck his tongue out or something at the end.
