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 a road run to break in my new trail shoes.  Let's just say this....until you get a new pair of shoes, you really don't realize how much your old shoes are making your body ache...and slowing you down.  I felt great on this run.  I love these shoes so far.  Today I ran up to Dave's grave.  It felt good to sit there and think about him. Then I ran to Hyde Park.  Forgot to start my watch til .50 miles away from the apartment.  It was a good run

Did a long Christmas eve run with Joe and Cody.  Tried some trails but they were very snowy so we went to the roads.  Roads were pretty slick.  All of us were pretty tired.  Cody trooped it out and did 20 instead of 17.  Pretty good run but unfortunately wasn't trails

Did a run out in my home town today.  Tried to take the dirt roads that farmers use.  Mile 2 to 3 was pretty brutal...either super super super super slick or super super super deep in snow.  That mile really slowe me down.  Not too much climbing.  I'm just happy to get on dirt and off pavement.  Merry Christmas!

Did my normal road run.  However, there is a new section I'm adding.  That would be Dave's grave.  Stopped by again to see it.  I think it's a nice stop for my run.  Didn't go to fast today cause my feet are a little sore from the new shoe's.  Kinda chilly but not too bad.

Went very slow today.  Did the lower and upper canal trail then turned around at second dam.  The pace was slower cause of the snow and I felt like taking it easy.  Not too much happened.
