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!

Got up early and did Cody' "Provicence Star" with him and Fan.  We went pretty quick.  I was feeling really good this moring.  It was awesome getting my run done for the day by 7 a.m.  Wish I could do that more often.

Did a slow and easy long run today.  Went from my house up to the BST and headed over to first dam.  Then I did the First to Prov run via Deer Fence that Cody, Fan and myself do so much.  Along deer fence I saw a dead deer...completely devoured by what appeared to be a mtn. lion (mtn. lion tracks).  Use the new Pearl Izumi M2 on the run.  They were amazing like always!

Did the Green Canyon half marathon run tonight with Cody, Zach and Fan.  It was very icy and uneven up green....rolled my ankle a lot and kind of hurt the back of my leg right behind my knee.  We went at a great pace though.  Fun run!

Got up early and ran with Cody.  We went from Main street up to the river trail via canal trail.  We had a good talk about marriage.  Cody is a wise man.  We'll see if I take his advice to heart.  Went pretty slow and was very sore

Promised a boy at work I'd take him running so I took him today.  This kid hasn't ran since his marathon in October....could totally tell he was a little out of shape but he did pretty awesome.  Had some good conversation about his treatment and progression.  Great and relaxing run

My leg was pretty sore after my run yesterday so I decided I better take it easy today.  Did a simple road loop today.  Went from my place up to campus and down to main street.  Easy run.  Avg heart beat was 130
