| Location: Logan,Ut,United States Member Since: Jul 14, 2013 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: My very first race was the Top of Utah Half Marathon. I finished in 01:29:45. Even though it wasn't amazing, I took 3rd place in my age division which was a huge accomplishment for myself. After that I did a large amount of 5 and 10K's, Ragnar's, etc. In 2012 I put together and Ultra Ragnar Team. After this I started to focus on shorter races and worked towards running track with Utah State University. As I was getting close to running with the team, I met Cody Draper. He introduced me to trail running....I'm now a trail runner! Just did my first ultra marathon two weeks ago...Logan Peak. I finished in 5th place and got under my goal of 5 hours.
Short-Term Running Goals: In the next two years, I'd like to run a 50K and a 50 miler. If those two races go well, I'd like to do the Bear 100 in 2 years from this summer. Long-Term Running Goals: I'm not sure how much of a goal this is...it's more of a wish that's way towards the stars. I'd like to eventually get good enough that I have offers to be sponsored as a runner. But my actual long term goals are:
1. A 100 miler 2. Win an ultra marathon. 3. Be apart of the 80 year old marathon runner club Personal: I'm single! The only exciting thing going on in my life is I'm getting into trail running! |

| Guess what I did today? I didn't do Green!! Ha I finally did something different. Cody, Joe and I went and did nine miles of Birch Canyon. That was my first time up this canyon. It was super pretty. We did a fairly decent pace. Cody is still feeling a little sick and all three of us are doing Loco this weekend. Great to run with those guys again! |

Today was my first official 50 K! This course was by far the prettiest area I've ever ran in. The first 15 miles were pretty rough. I was able to stick with Joe the whole way. However, I felt super terrible. I was holding in my puke the whole time, my legs were BEAT, emotionally I wasn't there because my friend died earlier in the week...I was tired. It was just rough. As we got to the halfway aid station, quitting was very high up in my mind. I did not feel like I was going to be able to finish. So I sat down for about five minutes and drank some mountain dew and tried to get back into the race mentally. I decided that even if it meant crawling for 15 more miles....I was going to finish. So I took off. Surprisingly I felt great. I eventually caught up to Joe and still felt great. So, I ended up leaving Joe (his knee was hurting him). I eventually crossed the finish line. In my mind I finished around tenth place. But, Cody ran over to me and told me that I was sixth! I was super stoked. It was a great race. I'm super glad I did it! Joe did great. He didn't do as well as he usually does. However, he's had leg issues and his goal today was to finish. So, he finished! Goal accomplished. It was fun having him as a running buddy pretty much the whole time. Cody did great especially with him being sick. He took third place. He took off at the first like he always does. He was very happy with what he did considering the sickness he has been fighting. |

| Did ten miles....on the road. Yes, I know I hate roads. But, I needed something flat. My legs are still pretty dead and sore and the canyon didn't sound fun. |

| Did green today. Felt great! Went at a comfortable yet fast pace. Weather wasn't too warm. Forgot my water bottle but didn't really need it. It was an all around great run! My leg's feel refreshed and ready for the week |

| Did green again today. Felt pretty good. Not as great as yesterday, but still went at a great pace. As I got to the top, I saw another trail runner getting ready to head down. Josh Knuckles. He is from Hurricane and knows Joe! We ran down together and had a great chat. At the end of green, he gave me his number so he could join Cody, Joe and myself on some future runs. Got us another person for the group! |

| Did only eight of green. On the way down I landed less than a foot away from a huge blow snake. Scared the crap out of me. But went at a comfortable pace |

| Did stump hollow and the atv loops. Went with Cody today. Had my usual "morning sickness." Usually after a good seven miles I feel pretty good and my sick feeling leaves. Not today. I felt completely miserable the whole time. Cody was being nice. I feel he could have smoked me but he didn't ditch me. He kept telling me he was going at the pace he wanted. What a gent. On the final five miles I completely bonked. Cody smoked me on the downhill. I had no energy at all and felt so nasty. Probably the worse feeling on any run. But, I finished. I guess everyone has one of those days! |

| Ran the Canal Trail to second dam. I liked this trail. I still felt exhausted and dead but the trail was fairly flat which helped

| Stuck with the road. Ran around north logan and hyde park. Did pretty well since it was mostly flat the whole time. I'm getting tired of feeling this way
