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 - JAJAK Run 11.3 miles. Kevin and I dropped the rest of the crew then crushed that 8 min/mile on the 2 miles back to Sugarhouse.

I gotta say, I'm excited to have the rest of the day off from running. Don't forget to get your free slurpee from 7-11 today!

You guys break 16 minutes for the last two miles? :-)

From Andrea on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 09:37:20 from 72.37.171.52

Yup, after we dropped the dead weight, as Kevin would say.

From Andrea on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 09:38:00 from 72.37.244.100

We actually averaged 7:50 for the run which is not bad!

From Jake K on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 09:40:10 from 155.100.226.54

Especially after your 25 minute 5K yesterday, that's flying!

Whaaaaat? Walking to 7-11 right now!! Well as soon as I can....fortunetely there is one located about 400 meters from my work.

From Lulu Walls on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 10:45:03 from 155.100.212.98

Guess the hammy must be better - yay! Must be all those beach body workouts :) Why free slurpees today - it is not 7/11?

From RAD on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 12:44:51 from 98.202.23.178

I'm with Lulu - I all of a sudden panicked thinking it was 7/11! :) Why are they being generous TWO days a year? not that I'm complaining, I'll take a free slurpee any day for any reason!

Nice job breaking the 8mm barrier...it is a hard one to overcome :)

From JulieC on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 12:46:43 from 67.41.188.232

thanks for the 4-1-1. MY kids will be so excited when I treat them to 7/11 after I get them to clean their rooms and bathroom after school. It will be a lot easier to get them to do the work now :D

8 min mile- Now you're on my level. :)I've been having issues with my hammy too. I started wearing a compression brace and it seems to be helping, but it is still nagging. Hope yours clears up soon.

From Carina on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 13:20:25 from 204.15.86.83

Nice work on the run!! Why are there free slurpees today? I'm so there!!!
