Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I have been on here, so I’ll give you a quick rundown on how things have been. There was a pandemic and I started working for the Utah Department of Health.

Running in the San Rafael Swell: The Wedge Route
The state of Utah has the highest population per capita of ultrarunners in the country. It’s no surprise why, since many of the best long routes are right in our backyard. We are within driving distance to some of the most well-known ones, including the Trans-Zion trail, Rim-to-Rim of the Grand Canyon, and of courseContinue reading “Running in the San Rafael Swell: The Wedge Route”
Squaw 50 Vlog Recap
Better late than never, right? Sorry about my lateness! I made a vlog talking about the Squaw 50. Check it out and hear about running a 50-miler for the first time. It was a great race and I am so glad that I did it. Honestly, I am not-so-secretly planning my return next year. 🙂Continue reading “Squaw 50 Vlog Recap”
We are being robbed
There are many things that I absolutely love about living in Utah. Having the opportunity to run in the Wasatch is not lost on me at all.

I’m Becoming a Mountain Runner!
It’s not every week that you have a really great training week, so when you do, you can’t take it for granted. This week was certainly a special one.

Training and Mountains to Climb

Week 1: Training for the St. George Marathon
I had a bit of a breakthrough at PT this week. I was told to give my legs a try and go for a run. So I did… And it seems like everything is going pretty well. I can still feel the sciatic pain on uphills, but for the most part, things are looking up.Continue reading “Week 1: Training for the St. George Marathon”
