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!

The plan was to go and do dry canyon from my house...got up to dry, and the snow was DEEP.  During this run it was snowing pretty hard...so, I looped around to first dam then went home.  Snowy day!

Did a run with Tom and Cody.  WAs going for 26 for my birthday...but, I realized that goal sucks....I run 26 all the time.  It was way cold.  Went from first dam to Cody's via BST and roads.  Ran smithfield canyon road then up to the pyrmids and looped back to Cody's

Sarah's uncle lives by some mountains in San Diego.  Took advantage of the 60 degree weather and messed around for 3 miles before game time.  Felt so good to run in a tank top again
