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 - Jake's marathon fueling crew. His dad and I were able to see him 8 times throughout the race to give him bottles of Gatorade and cold wet sponges. I was so anxious and nervous for him throughout the race that I completely wore myself out. I managed to get sick yesterday with my 26 hours of traveling and little sleep so that contributed as well. I saw him one last time at 25.5 and then watch him break the 2nd place guy. Really awesome and a total relief to see that. So proud of him!Â

Also huge congrats to everyone else out there racing today! Some PRs went down today :)Â

PM - 20 min jog in Phoenix.

I saw one of his bottles on the side of the road and I thought of you. Having good support in a marathon is so helpful, especially this one when it got kind of warm at the end. It was fun seeing you!
