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!

Did an evening run with Cody today.  We met at the tabernacle and headed over to Providence area.  The wind was blowing tonight which made it FREEZING.  So, we headed away from the canyon and tried to stay away from the wind.  We did really well.  Cody was feeling great so we went at a pretty good pace.  Fun times

Did another night run with Cody.  Close to the same route.  A little different.  Still windy and freezing.  Cody was planning on going around 8 min pace but he was feeling good again.  We ended up going pretty fast again

Did a slow and easy run today.  Went from my house over to Sky View and looped back to the house.  Saw something very weird and disgusting....for about a mile stretch during my run, there were....no joke, around 50 squished mice on the road.  My guess is they needed warmth so they all went to sleep on the road then....death.  It was a pretty disgusting sight honestly.

Watched a video that Sage Canaday put together talking about the importance of taking easy days easy.  So, I forced myself to run slower.  Went from my place towards campus, looped out towards 10th west.  Headed to YESCO....in the process of this I saw good ol' Dennis Jensen outside.  So I stopped and we chatted a good 15 minutes.  Funny guy with a nasty beard now.  Easy run

Worked 40 hours already this week so I was able to take today off.  I met up with Cody at his house and we went for a long run.  He had to be somewhere at 10:30 so we needed to be done by 9:30.  We left from his house and headed up some random roads towards the canal trail by the temple.  We took that to first dam then took BST over to Green.  We headed up green for about 3 miles then turn around and took the same route back basically.  At first dam we headed behind the water lab and took some random roads back.  We were hauling after the water lab.  Kept 6:40 pace for 3 miles.  I was pretty darn tired.  Very good training run.
