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.

First track practice! It was so great to have people around me to run with again. The weather was nice too, it felt like it was may. Here's the workout that we did:

Core + 15 min E-pace + 3x (400m R-pace w/ 400m jogs) + 3x 800m R-pace w/ 800m jogs) + 15 min E-pace

I felt pretty good toady. The only thing was that I started to get a side ache during the workout and during the cooldown)

In seventh hour I did about 4 and half minutes of core. Than in track practice I had a great run.; We did a seven mile loop that involved the three mile block that my house is on. I ran with Sergio and Layne the entire time. We were even able to stop by my house and get a drink.

At the begining of practice we did 5 minutes of core, and then coach told us we were doing a workout. That surprised me since I was expecting an extra long run today. But I do feel it benefitted me. Heres what we did:

Warmup + 5x (2 min I-pace w/ 1 min jog + 1 min I-pace w/ 30s jog + 30s I-pace w/ 30s jog)

I was very satisfied with that, it was just really tough on the 2 minutes I-pace. I didn't rest in between sets, and I'm pretty sure that that's what we supposed to do, but not completley. I think one reason that I felt pretty good was that I got in a good warmup. (2 miles) It was a gorgeous day, too. It was really warm and the sun was bright. After the workout Coach Nielson gave me some encouraging words. I really appreciate morale support like that.

Here's today's workout:

15 min E-pace + 4 x (1000m T-pace w/ 1 minute recoveries)

That felt considerably difficult. Probably the fact that that was the second track workout in two days. The cold pouring rain didn't help much either. I felt bad for the soccor players having tryouts on the field. I probably wouldve done a good cooldown if it was nicer, also. I'm glad there were only four sets. When I think about it, that was nothing compared to the 8 1000s at R-pace with 1 minute rests we did in cross country last season.

I had a fantastic run today, and I was especially enjoyinhg it in the last mile. I think the alteration I attempted to make on my form helped. The worst part was the first half-mile where I wasn't warmed up yet. And the part in providence where I was nearing the turnaround point wasn't so great, either. But other than those parts I really enjoyed myself.  On my way back it was nice because I had tail winds. The best part was the last half mile, where I my form felt perfect and I still had energy.

Today it was pouring more than it was on thursday. I did a loop that went by willow park and the fair grounds. The rain was really annoying when I was running south and it would fill up in my eye sockets. I didn't feel as good today, because I was going at the same pace as normal yet it felt faster. But I was glad to get the run in. Almost 40 miles this week. That's the highest mileage I've gotten in a week ever.
