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.

Jake and I are super hyped up today about running after so many great performances at St. George, Chicago, Twin Cities, etc. this weekend! So proud everyone and I just can't wait to get back in shape and race again. My improvement the past week or two is very positive. I was able to run 3.6 miles today and really felt like a runner again. I had a little IT band tightness but otherwise felt great. I need to be careful now and set limits so I can continue this trend :)

PM - Rollerblading 4 miles with Jake.
