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

Down in Zion for a long weekend. Hiked about 8 miles total today. We went up to Angels Landing, which has been on my to-do list for a while. My hip started acting up about 2 miles into the hike on the stepper uphill parts, but luckily you have to stop all the time on the last scrambling section because it gets a little crowded. The 360 views from the top were incredible - this is a great hike if you aren't afraid of heights! Then we walked over to the Emerald Pools (which were less than spectacular since there isn't much water running this time of year). Jake only talked about running for about 30% of the time we were hiking so that was quite a surprise :-)

That is on my list, have never done it. Funny about Jake. What else is there really? My kids complain about my husband and my conversations, how boring we are. They wish we would talk about minecraft and slender (two kid computer games).

Beautiful pictures, much better than the snow covering in the mountains in Salt Lake!

Great pictures. Seems like a nice time of the year to be there.

Oooh looks lovely! What was the other 70%? The Twilight books, the fabulous-ness of Mountain Dew, or SKIING?
