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.

Thought my body would be feeling good enough to run.  Had a rough day yesterday where I was in a crazy amount of pain during church and throughout other parts of the day.  Advil helped when I took it though.  Today was not a good run.  I went 4 pretty slow in the afternoon, turned around, and had little energy to run back.  It just felt so hard to run.  I stopped at the track on the way to the locker room and got a drink from one of the drinking fountains, sat down for 10 minutes, then walked the last half mile.  It was a pretty miserable experience.  I won't be running again for a few days.

AM-Went for a 6 mile easy run with Connor Ross.  Still felt really tired. 

PM-Again, felt tired, but ran 4 miles in the afternoon.   The trainer inspected my infection in my back and it had started oozing puss, so he got a lot out and set up a doctor's appointment.  The Doctor in Oregon said I should be healed by tomorrow (or atleast the infection should be gone, the hole would still be there).

Had the most painful time where the doctor tried to clean the infection.  It was just filled with him squeezing my back and blood just spilling out with the occasional chunk of puss.  Later I went for a 10 mile run.  Still felt low on energy and just to run an easy pace felt hard.

12 miles with a few of the guys.  I kept telling them to slow it down because they had a race next week (Jake and Danny are racing at USAs).  They didn't, because we weren't actually going too quick.  I was really saying that because of how low I felt on energy.  It seemed like every step I had to think about and was just hard.  It reminded me of when I had my stress reaction in high school.
