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 skiing today.  Was up at Powder Mtn from 9:30 to 4:30.  By the time I got home it was 6:30.  So I decided to do a short fast run today.  Felt good with my pace!  The cool air felt great.  The stars were great as well.  Good run

Did Cody's unofficial half today.  The snow was very icy.  Fell down once.  That really hurt my knee.  Went pretty slow between the ice and the snow breaking.  Plus my legs were really dead.  But it was still a pretty good run

Tested out my new Brooks Ghost 6 today.  They are pretty awesome.  I love them!  Did my normal road run....dave's grave, hyde park and back...with an extra mile.  Went at a fast pace.  Felt great!  Especially the warm 40 degree weather.

Did a slower run today.  Did green canyon and then decided to go up the face.  I must say, I bonked on the way up the face.  When I got to the top, I just fell to the ground and started eating snow.  I was in desperate need for water.  The run down was very slippery and bumpy.

Did Green today.  Was going to go half a mile further than normal to end up getting 10 miles instead of nine.  But the trail after the fence was horrible.  So I turned around and headed back and after half a mile, I turned around and repeated the top portion to get the extra mile.  Went at an alright pace.  My legs were pretty tired from yesterday's work out.  Temperature was good.  All around a good day.

Did my normal road run.  At work today I did leg lifts so my legs were pretty sore.  Didn't go extremely fast but not extremely slow.  Not a lot happened on this run.
