| 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! |

| Ran the road today. Went at a fairly slower pace. Developed extreme back pains on this run. Had to walk a little. Definitely didn't enjoy that feeling. Hopefully it leaves

| Did the canal trail to above second dam. The canal trail is unfortunately under construction so on the way back I had to take the paved road back to the temple. Didn't enjoy that part. My back was in major pain all day but my run took away some of the tightness.

| Winter is definitely here. Ran green canyon today. Went at a fairly slow pace going up. After about twenty minutes, a blizzard took over the canyon. Snow was blowing in my face. Trail was muddy. Trail quickly became covered with snow. Was pretty difficult running back. Hit rocks I couldn't see. Rolled my ankle a little. Slipped a few times. About a mile from the end the snow finally slowed down. I'm not looking forward to winter running :(

| You'll never guess what trail I did today....GREEN CANYON! Went at an average pace today. Loving the fall colors. Disappointed the snow will be coming soon. Got to soak it in while I can!

| Did my normal road run. I usually try to only do this on Tuesdays but I skipped a lab this morning and didn't have time to drive to a trail. Went at an average pace. Felt pretty good by the end of it.

| Did the hit and run 5k in salt lake city for work. Went super slow and had a blast! Definitely wasn't that hard of a run. The kids I help were complaining. Ha three miles is "so hard." But it was definitely a fun time

| Did green canyon! My hip has been bothering me the past few days. It's super hard to get some push when I'm running up hill. Hopefully it's just a little tight and will be better by tomorrow

| No running today. Biked from my house to the wilderness sign up green canyon. I can definitely tell I haven't biked for a while. My legs were hammered! Good work out.

| Did spring hollow with Cody. We went at a fairly well pace. I really liked this trail. It was a very nice and steep trail. The last mile of it was snowy and muddy so that made it interesting. Cody is finally recovering from the bear. Hopefully we'll be able to do the grand canyon run next month. Plus today I got to use my fancy new Garmin (Cody's old Garmin...he upgraded to a new one). So I'll be able to include some more information. But it was a good run

| Did green canyon today. I felt amazing! Went up fairly fast and down fairly fast. The new garmin watch I have definitely made me ush myself today. If you're reading this blog Cody Draper....it feels good to pass your course record on Green. You better step it up. Don't let your padowan beat you!

| Did my normal road run. I went at a fairly fast pace. Faster than normal for my Tuesday runs. The sun was out and the temperature was perfect. I really enjoyed today's run. Getting quicker on the hill portions of this run. Life is good.

| Did green canyon with Joe and Cody! Today was a great day for a run. Super nice weather. Felt fairly good. We went at a pretty fast pace as well. The way down we flew. Almost beat a truck from top to bottom. It barely beat us. Was a little sore but it was great.

| Did a nice, slow trail run today. The course was fairly flat. Started at the mouth of green canyon and ran the Bonneville Trail over to the new trail just above first dam. Ran the new trail down to just below second dam. Then I took the river trail up to just before third dam. Then headed on back. The new trail is quite awesome. Great scenery. Super soft. Loved it.

| Did the same run today that I did yesterday. Today though I added a little. I went past third dam to the wind caves trail head and went up to the caves. I forgot how much of a beast that climb is. My intentions were to run past the wind caves to the Birdneu Peak then down Green Canyon. But, I had no idea where anything was. So, I quickly turned around and went back the way I came. Originally when I began this run, I was only planning on doing green...9 miles. So, I only brought half a botle of watter and no food. So, I was feeling the effects of that on the way down from the caves. Luckily, at third dam, a sweet old couple just got out of their car. I walked up to them and asked if there was a place close by to get water. Luckily, they had a bottle in the car they were able to give me. That saved me. The rest of the run was still fairly slow considering I had no food. It was definitely a good work out though.

| Ran Green Canyon with a buddy from my ward. He's a pretty decent runner. Definitely will run with him again. But we didn't go at the fastest pace. For one I didn't wanna kill him and two I was pretty tight for some reason. But it was a good, windy run.

| Today was a very interesting run. I started out with my normal road run but then decided to head straight up towards green canyon instead of heading north on 1600 east. As I got to the mouth of the canyon, I noticed a trail to the north and started following it. I figured this trail would go along the base of the mountain and take me to hyde park. But, it ended up going straight up the mountain. Definitely hiked a good part of it. Halfway up, it started snowing on me...but I kept going (didn't consider how hard it would be to come down). I eventually got to the top. Snow was coming down hard and the wind was blowing. Couldn't see anything. So I started heading down....I was skiing, slipping and falling and going all over the place. My face was numb and I was soaking wet. Eventually I got down and ran home. It was a great climb and I can imagine it would have been a great view if there wasn't a blizzard

| Did a good trail run with the A-Team. We went up the hill above the water factory place (a USU building..). We then went over and up to the Bonneville trail and ran over to Providence Canyon. Then went up a good two miles. Definitely a good run. Started snowing a little. The view of the mountains and the city as it got dark was pretty awesome. Saw some deer. I enjoyed today's run.

| Today was definitely a slow day. But, I climbed 4,410 feet in 7 miles. So, I feel pretty good about what I accomplished today. The first climb up was nice. Stopped and took a couple pictures. Passed a hiker on his way down who told me the hike took him about 2.5 hours. I eventually got to just below the peak where all the snow was and turned around. Once I got to the bottom, I turned around and headed back up. That was a mental challenge. The sun actually peaked out a little on my way up. But overall, it was a great climb and work out.
