Pre-high school: I ran a lot of local 5ks and a few half marathons.  I didn't do a ton of training, but I just had fun, and I got more serious about it as high school got closer.

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-4.1 easy miles alone.  

PM-6X800m.  Well, we aren't sure on the exact distance, but it was once around Intramural field, which is about 800m.  2:16, 2:15, then Coach said to slow it down, so we went 2:20, 2:18, then he said to speed it back up, so we went 2:14, 2:07(this one we may have cut a small bit off one of the turns compared to the others, but it was fast).

AM-2.8 mileish warm up.  Started as usual, was pulled back by a competitor next to me at the start line, but then pushed from behind by Brandon Garnica.  Just worked on relaxing.  At 1200m I found Zac and it looked like he was about to move to the front, so I told him to relax.  10km is a long race in cross country.  We came across 2km at about 6:02.  I tried to run relaxed and things went well for the most part. Ran with Clayson, McMillan, Jake, and Rory throughout the race and tried to stay in a pack.  With 1km to go, the pack had gotten smaller and I started moving up, but the plan was to run as a pack and come across the line together.  Rory reminded me of this with about 1000m to go, so I slowed a bit and just coasted it in.  Lots of people blew up and we were passing a lot.  With 350m to go, we were in 8th, 9th, and 10th.  I don't know where, but I passed two more people before the finish.  With 100m to go, I looked back and only saw Rory as the closest guy behind me, so I tried to coast, but Peter Lomong was on the other side of me and started sprinting to pass me before the finish.  I threw in a small kick off instinct.  Rory and McMillan were 8th and 9th, so they still ran it in together.  It was a lot of fun this race.  Cool down after

PM-5 easy miles.

Long run wasn't very long today.  Kept it really chill because Coach said to.  Felt good.
