I haven't been running lately, which makes this blog pretty boring. So in order to make it a bit more interesting I decided that I would recap some of my adventures from throughout the year. In January I ran the Kahtoola Snowshoes 50k. It was 31 miles in the snow wearing snowshoes. My first step of the race was my first time to run in snowshoes. It was a ton of fun. In February my daughter was born. Eliza Anne Ricks
March was a fun month. the first weekend I ran my birthday challenge, 33 miles on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Jun and Scott join me in the celebration. This was my furthest distance to date that wasn't in a race. Also that month I got in a few summit runs to up Mount Wire with Jun and Scott. At the end of the month I ran my second 50 miler, Buffalo Run 50 on Antelope Island. Relaxing in the living room on Mt Wire
Buffalo Run 50 miler.
In April, Scott and I ran/hiked to the top of Centerville Peak. Peak Jump on Centerville Peak
In May I ran the Granduer Peak Fun Run, Timpanogos Trail Marathon in the rain, and a 5k with my entire family on Memorial Day. Timp Trail Marathon
In June I picked up a three month sponsorship from Jamba Juice. That month I also ran Girls on the Run 5k, Teton Dam Marathon, and Logan Peak Trail run. At the Teton Dam Marathon I missed getting a new PR by 5 seconds. Turning heads at the Girls on the Run 5k

In July I started the month by summiting Mt Baldy with Jun and Aaron. Then I got in touch with my feminine side and ran the Red Hot Pink Chicks 1/2 marathon. Also so that month, I ran the Deseret News Marathon and the toughest 50k on the planet, the Speedgoat 50k. Peak Jump on Mt Baldy Q:How does he jump so high? A:Twinkies
RHPC 1/2 Marathon with the amazing Lily. I am the on in pink.

After Deseret News, I ran into Teena Marie and Smooth. Two very inspirational runners.

In August I ran the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase. I didn't get any photos, but I was featured in a youtube video. Later that month I did a fun run on the Wasatch Crest Trail with Scott and Jun. During that run we summited Scott's hill. ![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GbJa8vrd_bA/TMJHiO1P9dI/AAAAAAAAAJY/U2gvc6ovVtc/Me%20on%20Scott%20Hill.JPG) Me on Scott's Hill

Lots of fun adventures with great friends. Since then I have been on any great adventures, but I would like to get a few more in before the end of the year. I hope that you enjoyed this post.
