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.

I've gotta say that's probably in the top five toughest workouts ever for me, here's what we did:

mile warmup + 2x (200m R-pace w/ 200m jogs) + (800m R-pace w/ 5 min rest) + (600 m F-pace w/ 6 min rest) + (400m F-pace w/ 4 min rest) + (300m F-pace w/ 3 min rest) + (200m F-pace)

The 200s weren't bad, I'm used to those. Neither was the 800, we do those alot. The part where the workout gets super tough is from there on. Really the hardest part was teh 600 at F. That section of the workout gave me more pain than I've probably ever felt during a workout. It just made the shorter parts tougher than then they would've been. In the 400 I slowed down alot at the 300 mark, and thats something I usually make sure I never do. But this time, teh slowing was completely involuntary, it was'nt a result of giving up mentally. In the 300 I did the same thing in the last 20 meters.  I did fine in the 200, though.

Afterwards, I skipped the cooldown because I just did'nt have the energy for one. I probably shouldve though.

Well, that was the last run of the month, and this month I ran 50 miles less than I ran last month. Mostly because of spring break and my trip to california. Oh well, I geuss it's part of tapering. 

As for the run, it was great! I did a medium sized loop that went on this dirt road in River Heights, than up some hills, down through Denzel Stewart nature park, than I went down center street and did a small loop by the temple, and went back to the school. (this was all during seventh hour) It was actually pretty hot today. The run got cut a half mile short though because I saw that my mom was waiting for at the front so I just hopped in. 

I would have had a meet at Bonneville today, but I had to miss it for region orchestra, which is actually at the same school, but I decided not to try and do both because it would be too complicated.

That definetley was'nt as enjoyable as my run yesterday. I started with Sergio, Layne, Hayden, Bjorn and Jaxton. Sergio tripped and maybe sprained his ankle at less than half a mile. A lady luckily picked him up and took him back to the school. Our plan was to run up cliffside, adn I added on to the route a bit and widened the loop into river heights. Everybody kept stopping to wait for Hayden, and eventually I just left them in teh hills of river heights. So I went all the way up to the Dry Canyon trailhead, took some rest (those hills are tough) and maybe went a little too fast on the way down because I strated to get a sideache. (It's hard to control yourself) I took another small rest at the bottom, then went back a little slower than normal, and I cut through Merlin Olsen park, but I was dissapointed when the drinking fountain was'nt turned on.

Short workout today. It felt tough becuase of the speed, but there were'nt alot of reps so it was'nt as bad as it seemed. We had an 800m warmup, then did four 400's at F with full recoveries, followed by and 800m cooldown. Coach said we were tapering for region. When I got home I ran another easy mile.

I'm trying to decide if that run was even worth it. It was'nt even that far, but it was actually pretty tough for me today. I was going at what would normally be my easy pace, yet I was breathing really hard and my legs felt heavy. I geuss the donuts I ate a couple hours before did'nt help much. (oops) I need to be more careful with Region coming up on wednesday and thursday, especially if I want to bring my 12:26 down by much. I'm pretty confident I can do it. I hope today's extra mileage did'nt affect the taper.
