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 - Back-to-back hard days. Goal of today was to get my legs used to running downhill in preparation for Top of Utah Half.

Ran relatively easy pace up Emigration Canyon for 6 miles (7:45 pace), then 6 mile tempo down the canyon (5:41, 5:45, 5:43, 5:36, 5:33, 5:39). This run is ~2% downhill gradient, but I was very happy with this effort. Especially after the race yesterday! Cooldown at probably 10 min/mile pace :o)

Got home and took an ice bath. Laughed at Jake for being a baby and taking 5 minutes just to get in the ice bath. Now time for some relaxing by the pool!

PM - Rode the bike while Jake ran his shakeout 4.5 miles.

I thought I hated ice baths, but they are better than cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen!

tempo run + ice bath + cleaning the condo = time for a Dairy Queen dip cone and a nap!

GO get the cone YUM!

You're going to love the TOU half course! So fun. Love me some Logan Utah :-)
