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.

     After my run I realized I probably went too far for the start of the week.  Oh well, it's all good.

     AM-4.  Warm up with the team, then 4X30 sec. all out with 3X45 sec. all outs thrown in between, with some break of course.  It was painful, I needed it though. Speed work kills me.

     PM-A little over 4 at easy pace.

     Not sure how far I ran. 10-12 with Tanner Anderson and John Dressel.  Pretty easy for most of it.

     We did a workout at the Nike Elite Camp on the track. It wasn't bad at all, but our last 200m everyone just went all out and ran 25-26. Alberto Salazar coached it, so that was pretty cool. We were able to see Galen Rupp and Matt Centrowitz run their workout too.

     8 miles. Ran with Mickey, Johnny, Simon Bairu, Elijah, and Matt. We were around a lake near Mt. Hood.  It was fun and cool.  We used GPS watches for distance and pace, but Matt took off on the last lap and said that it wasn't hard.  I just tried to stay with him, because I knew if I did, it would be better for me mentally later on.

     We ran the race for the camp today(there needs to be a competition for Nike to be able to let us be at the camp) and it was pretty fun.  Warmed up 1.5 miles, then we ran the race.  Everyone was talking about taking it easy, but I needed a tempo run in, so I just decided to see how it felt to push the pace and see how it went. It was on a trail, but the 400m were all marked, which was pretty cool.  Mikey Brannigan took it out pretty hard, and I just kept a good pace the first 400m. After a mile, I kinda switched into racing.  I would go back and forth between workout and race, but it was a big push for sure, nothing easy.  With 800m left I caught Mikey after a fast 400, and we talked for a bit, and finished together in 14:40 for the 3 miles.  After we cooled down, then I got to meet Luke Puskedra, and then I ran some more with a few other guys, and we saw Luke again, so we ran with him for another 1.5 miles.
