Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc. 

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

AM - Beautiful Easter morning! Ran the SLC Half Marathon course with the JAJAF crew this morning - a really great course except for maybe the Sugarhouse turnaround point and the monster hill up State Street. It has a great downhill for the majority of the race and especially the last half mile. I've decided to run it, even though I don't feel quite ready for a half marathon yet. It should be fun to run a race on familiar streets!

PM - Did a shakeout run with Jake. It was so nice outside that it was too hard to say no. And I had to make sure that Jake wouldn't pad his mileage this afternoon :)

Nice training run, smart of you to scout out the course. At what mile does the monster hill happen?

Two more weeks of training and the BAA 5k mixed in and you will ready to dust the field. Enjoy the flick.

After seeing some of your recent workouts, I definitely think you'll be ready to crush a good half.

A pretty day for running that's for sure. Nice job keeping Jake in line. He needs to save those legs for the big day :)

Yay! I can't wait to see how you do in the half :) I will be spectating for sure!
