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.

Total Distance

8.40

AM - Another nice run around Millcreek with Jake. It's funny, we were proud to break the 8 min mile barrier at mile 2 this morning (usually it takes 3 miles). Didn't run much faster than 7:45 pace, though :) I felt pretty good this morning but expect to feel a little more tired by the afternoon from the workout yesterday. It's hard getting used to running in the dark!

My advice to all the St. George Marathoners this Saturday - BELIEVE IN YOUR TRAINING!

Yeah, that is some good advice about believing in your training! Race day is simply a celebration to show off all the hard work in training. I wish I could have told myself and believed that 2 weeks ago:) Yep, you're making your way back into the 7's:) Soooo are you running St George?

Nope, not running St. George this year. My first marathon is going to be Philadelphia in November. If I like the marathon, I'll definitely consider St. George for next year!

If you don't like your first marathon, still do a second. I don't know too many people who really love their first time:) Good luck in Philly!
