I started running in 2001. My first 5K was the Salt Lake Classic that year. I ran it in just under 33 minutes. I was excited that I could run the whole distance. My dad and I joked around about doing a marathon, but then we decided, "Why joke about it when we could actually do one?" We trained for the Top of Utah marathon the next year and ran it in 5:38. It was such a great feeling of accomplishment!
It's been fun to see how I've improved over the years. It's been such a blessing in my life to have met so many other running friends and to train under such a dedicated and selfless Coach (Bill Schmid). I hope to keep improving and thriving in the great sport of running!
I rode my bike on the parkway and got a flat tire. I asked another biker if I could borrow his pump. He couldn't figure out how to use it, so a couple of more bikers came along and helped me out. I need to go get a new tire and a tune up.
Yeah, there were some goatheads hanging around the parkway. There were some men trimming trees and their bulldozer was blocking the path, so I had to ride off the path for a little bit. I think that's when I got the flat.
