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.

7AM-4 easy miles with Talem

9AM-Some of the guys decided to work out in the morning, so I thought that it would be best to work out with them in the morning than in the heat at 3.  It ended up being the best idea, even though I had just finished my run less than 2 hours before.  We did a fartlek of 10, 5, 3, 2, 1.  We ran it on the grass at intermeural park.  We went 4:47 pace, 4:40 pace, 4:36 pace, 4:22 pace, 4:07 pace.

Not a great race today. Our pacing was fairly inconsistent (I heard we were at 28 at 200m, but around 64 at 409 meters), and it just felt off. After the first 409 meters I didn’t see a PR coming. After the 809 mark being 2:07, I really didn’t see it. After that, Marcus and Kramer took off and ran a 59 the next lap, and I just didn’t respond. It kinda seemed like a bad dream. With 400m to go I saw I was at 3:11 and just didn’t have any motivation other than to not let anyone else pass me. Finished in 4:17 and felt fairly good after. It didn’t feel like a race even though I prepared well. After ran a long cool down with Michael with a 3 mile pickup at 5:06 pace. Felt like I could keep going, but wanted to make sure I would be recovered for next week’s workouts.
