Personal:

Born again Christian. I have been a type 1 diabetic since 2015 and celiac since 2018, and even though I have had my struggles with it, I still strive to live a healthy life. Senior at Utah State University studying Health Science. Hoping to go into pharmaceuticals and focus on diabetic supplies and medicine, because I am quite passionate about helping those that have the same medical condition as I do.

AM- 6 miles in Provo. Ran from the hotel up to BYU campus then over to Kiwanis Park and back. Did an 800 at 5k pace, 2:42 for that.

PM- Went hiking up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Then did 4 easy miles at Murray Park. I don't know if I was tired from the hiking or the heat.

PM- 2 miles to shake out with strides to get the legs loose the legs for tomorrows Murray 5k. Excited to run it, and see what I can do. Haven't done a race since Ogden, which feels kinda weird. But it will feel good to race again. I want it to be a good effort, and try not to really worry about time, mostly placement in the race. Because I know that placement in this race will result in a time that I would be satisfied with. Good luck and stay safe to everyone racing tomorrow for Independence Day.

RACE- Woke up somewhat early. Ate half a bagel and drank some water. Had some really weird things happen to my blood sugar today. Checked it when I woke up, and it was 88. Great! Figured that I wouldn't dose for half a bagel, cause I was afraid that I would go low, when I race. Jogged over to the park and warmed up. Saw some familiar faces. Merrilee Blackham, Matt Wolpert, Anthony Costales, and the Pachev family. Warmed up some with Sasha. Good chat with him. From the gun, I had very little energy levels. First mile in 5:48, then after that it didn't get any better. Finished in 19:11. After the race, I checked my blood sugar, and it was 382. No wonder I was so fatigued during the race. I have no idea how it got that high, possibly: stress, adrenaline, and just plain diabetes lol. Although I did not perform my best, I am always thankful to be able to run a race, and be able to run period. It was still a super fun race, as usual. Cooldown with Sasha afterward.

PM- 5 miles in Park City. Ran on the bike trail for most of the run.

AM- 6 miles on Diamond Mountain, with 2 mile tempo in between at 6:18 average. Very smoky out in the Uintah Basin today. Definitely a lot of fires in the western states.

PM- Good crossfit session this evening. Did power cleans, bench, and some gymnastic work to finish up. Mile cooldown afterward. I feel like doing some more strength focus will help improve my speed, and get me back up to where I need to be.

RACE- Woke up at 5. Drove out to McCoy and the race was starting in 10 minutes when I got there haha. Did about a half a mile warmup, then we were off. This course is very difficult to go fast on as far as terrain goes. I almost sprained my ankle 8 times, and fell once. From then on I decided to just take it slow and easy. A lot of ups and downs on this course, which made it even harder. It was definitely a true trail run, if I do say so myself. Fun race and I got first overall which was nice, I also got free pizza from Four Brothers. Cooldown about a mile afterward
