Long-Term Running Goals:

After my mission (tentatively June 2017-June 2019), which will be two years of virtually no running, I want to build my fitness back up stronger than it ever was before. Then when I think I am ready I may attempt for a spot on the USU roster again. We'll see how long I have to do that based on age and eligibility and stuff. If I don't ever do it that's fine, I'll still have a lot of fun with running. Some times I want to beat someday:

15:30 5K 

1:10 HM

2:40 Marathon

I have a fantasy in my mind of really breaking through in the marathon and making the olympic trials but we'll see about that haha. That would honestly be a dream come true. I definitely want to run the Boston Marathon at least once. Also maybe when I'm old but not too old I might try a 100 miler to qualify for Western States. 

 

 

Personal:

Freshman at Utah State University. I still have not chosen a major. Just graduated from Logan High School in May 2016. One thing I enjoy aside from running is music, weather it's playing or listening. I am member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and plan on serving a two-year mission after two semesters of school.

My next leg, Leg 24, was a 2.2 along Echo Dam and into Coalville. It was very cold being around 5am but this was the first leg where it was getting visibly light and you could hear the birds chirping which was cool. So I got the wristband from Denver and tried to go pretty hard and averaged 6:00, so not super fast compared to the 5:00 to 5:15 that most of the team would do for this but I still got 17 kills almost 18. This time it was a much smoother handoff with Baller. So then I walked to the suburban, made myself a delicious PB&J and then knocked out for a couple of hours in the car, shoutout to Talon and Jake for joining me and not being wimps and sleepin in the school. Then at some point I woke up and sun was shining brightly and we our new driver (Denver's mom arrived) and we hurried to the exchange in Park City. It was actually kinda cool to go there again cuz it's been a while, seems like a nice place. So yeah Jake had a good leg and Talon wrecked on Ragnar hill with the fastest time of the race and Brandon B. and Collin M. had crazy downhill legs that looked tough and then Penver Derry killed it. I tried a Gu, it was weird. When I got it was waaay hot (around noon) in Midway which is not the prettiest town, and I opened with like a 6:20 (6:34 on my watch but it didn't connect until a half mile in) and feeling really good I ran like a mile and half in town and then turned towards the hills and as soon as I hit a slight incline my legs SHUT DOWN LIKE SOMEONE FLIPPED A SWITCH and so I crawled along at 8:30 pace up a windy dirt road. At one point it kind of levelled out and I felt better again and could go faster, but then it got steep and I was dying, not gonna lie I had to walk a couple times. Soon I turned onto a red dirt single track which went up to a the top of hill then headed down. I was trying to fly down it and was at a pretty good pace. Then I hit a wider road and my heart palpitation came into play and I started to get stomach problems so now I was crawling DOWN the road. If I was feeling normal I would have been FLYINg believe me. Sped up a bit a fixed my form for the camera then I hit an extremely steep downhill and had to shuffle. At this point the distance was 5.9 and they said it was 6.1 LIARS. This bikepath thingy wound like a snake for another mile with a few surprise hills, then I saw Jake and he told me I had 3 minutes to break 21 and I tried to push it up one lasat hill and then it wound back down and I started to accelerate then the whole team joined me and it was sick. I was goin a bit fast and had a gap on them and felt kind of weird but oh well. It felt so good to be done and celebrate. We won the hs division and got 5th overall.

Gosh dangit another one of my monster posts.
