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.

You know, its a certified loop course. You might just want to go for the backwards 5K state record?

Backwards 5k state record eh?

Feeling better? I hope so! :)

Backwards running is HARD. Oh man, my legs were jello by the time my mile was up.

:) This makes me so happy.

I did backwards walking today and I will agree that its a challenge!

Apparently people use Galen Rupp's backyard underwater treadmill at random times, typically as he is asleep. If you're in Portland ever, that could help : ) ( the password is grape soda )

I just need to find someone around here that has an underwater treadmill and an Alter-G!

Right? Considering that Ritz spent 4 months in Utah this year I would put money that one or both are just up the canyon from you.
