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.

Crazy travel day. 17 hours worth of flying went okay, but the finding my co-worker at the airport proved to be quite the challenge. Two hours later we finally found each other and the driver then took the two hour journey to Juiz de Fora from Rio. This is probably the curviest road I've ever been on and I got pretty car sick. I was totally wiped by the time I finally got into the hotel. I managed 30 minutes on the spin bike. My psoas and hamstring have been cramping up every couple hours for the last two days and the medial side of my knee has decided to start hurting all the time. Not sure what happened to cause this, but it's not a good idea to run on it. The bike seems to be okay, so I might stick to that until the knee pain resolves.

Ugh travel is the worst for hamstrings and hip flexors! Lots of downward facing dog and lunge stretches helps me when I have to fly long.

Great job getting in the drills/XT while travelling. Thats hard to do on work trips.

Ouch. Traveling that long is no fun at all. At least you are headed to a beautiful place. Never been there but I work with two Brazilians and they can never stop raving about the beaches etc. Have a good trip.
