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-14 miles in Smithfield Canyon.  This is the farthest I've ran up the canyon.  The snow that covered the road the last time I was up there is melted.  

PM-Just over 6 miles around Smithfield, to the canyon, to Birch, and back around.

AM-7 miles. 

PM-3 mile warm up, an attempt at a 5 mile tempo, then cool down until I was at 11.  The goal of the tempo was to start around 5:00, maybe a little slower, and then bring it down to 4:55.  I thought this was practical due to tempos being my best workouts.  I started and things felt fast, but I just never got into a rythym.  First couple miles were 5:01, then the third, which was downhill, was 5:08.  I stopped at a porta-potty just after 3, thinking it would be easy to run the last two miles around 10:00. After about 200 meters of killing myself to run slow, I called it a day and finished up my mileage.  The finishing up mileage was really slow and tough.  I think I forgot to eat enough between my runs and that just left me depleated.

AM-13 easy miles up Birch, down Birch, and up Smithfield.  Lots of people were camping, which was fun to see.  

PM-4 easy miles up Birch and back.  Fairly short due to the longer run this morning, but it was much needed to get out of the house.

AM-Warm up, strides, felt like garbage, did the first 200m of a workout, still felt like garbage, had a short cool down and called it. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

PM-10 miles on grass and dirt. Kept it flat as I could. Maybe I'm just too fatigued.

AM-5 miles

PM-10.25. Did half a workout. I felt exhausted before I began, but better than yesterday. 4x800 at 2:10-2:11 with equal recovery. Felt good about hitting those times for how I felt. I wish I could've done a few more, but I was pretty fatigued.
