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!

Went to a cabin in Park City for General Conference.  Sarah's cousin is a runner for Weber State and wanted to go run around the mtns.  So, I joined her.  My lungs were hurting....still have this stupid cough...plus it was raining which I'm sure didn't help.  My left knee started hurting a lot for the final mile.  My body is pretty wrecked.

Decided to attempt Box Elder Peak with Cody today.  Legs are still pretty tired.  Felt like I was able to breathe a little better.  I'm feeling better than I thought I'd be but not near as good as I'd like to be.  Gonna take another week or two off.

I was able to breathe today!  Legs still sore.  But, I could breathe.  That's a step in the right direction.  Last run of the week (getting married).  Hoping to slip away to run a little of the apalacian trail this weekend.  We'll see what Sarah says.

Did a wednesday night group run finally.  Did the new Cottonwood trail and looped up to the Juniper tree.  I love descending below the tree.  That trail is pretty awesome.  Legs still tired.  Hope I can do well at Whistle Dick next week

Sarah's movement woke me up at 6:15.  So, I decided to get my run in before going to Mtn. Crest.  Did 5 miles.  Still feeling the effects of Wasatch and The Bear.  Ugh.  Hoping to be better by next weekend.

Did a Tuesday Night Run with Cody.  We went exploring on the Whistle Dick Trail.  We did fairly well on the climbs.  But, Cody's back hurt on the descends and my legs were very jello-y on the descends.  Great run though.  Excited for Saturday.

The second Whistle Dick Challenge took place this morning.  I came in with high hopes....but, the pukies took over.  I was very light-headed and didn't feel good at all.  Got fifth place.  Tom and and new guy named Cooper finished before me.  It was fun!  Just got sick
