Personal:

When I was young, I ran local fun runs with my family, but nothing more. I watched my dad, mom, and 2 older brothers begin running and decided to try it out. During the spring of 6th grade, I ran 3 miles a couple times a week with my dad and have loved running ever since. I ran local 5ks and even a half marathon. In 7th grade I watched Conner, my older brother, run cross country and decided that I wanted to try it.

High School: Really enjoyed it all so much, grateful for all of the friendships I made while doing it. There were ups and downs, but it was a wonderful experience!

I enjoy running, playing piano, painting, skiing, and hiking. Life is totally worth living. Running my favorite meditation. I ran for Sky View High School. I served a mission in the Adriatic North Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Not yet sure what my plans are with running these next few month, but I am looking forward to an exciting future!

I was gonna do some hill repeats, but after charging my gps watch, it wasn't working. I noticed that the track had been plowed or something, so I decided to give it a go for some Russian Intervals.  As I was warming up 2 miles to Sky View, it got super warm. The sun was out and I was excited.  Then, the wind kicked in and it got cold again. When I got to the track, it was plowed, but not clear.  Running on it was doable, but sprinting was a whole other story.  There was still a layer of snow, but it was packed.  Sometimes my foot would fall through and I would stumble.  It was hard to sprint, but it was still okay.  I did 2.5 sets of Russians 4×300@rpace w/ 35 second 100 in between. I was hoping for 1:00 300s, but that didn't happen. My first set was 1) 1:06, 2) 1:12, 3) 1:12, 4) 1:13.  They were at about tempo pace, but it was hard running in the snow and at some points, I found it better to run in lane 3. After a 400 recovery, my second set was much better. 1) 1:08, 2) 1:09, 3) 1:10, 4) 1:11.  I did another 400 recovery, but wasn't in the mood to do another full set, so I just did 2. 1) 1:09, 2) 1:12.  I could feel that slight burn from trying to sprint, but my times didn't show it.  I cooled down up the hill 2 miles, slowly.  

Later, I did 4 miles on the treadmill faster than 7:45 pace. It felt pretty good.
